Whereas a brand new date has not but been determined upon, the TV Academy has confirmed that closing Emmys voting will stick with the identical timeline, opening on August 17 and shutting the evening of August 28, which means no matter nominees not participating within the WGA or SAG-AFTRA strikes are nonetheless campaigning. Notably, actors can’t take part in selling their awards-nominated reveals, per work stoppage orders.
Nevertheless, whereas Selection additionally reported that the TV Academy and Fox have been in a debate over whether or not to reschedule the primary ceremony for November (just like the present had carried out earlier than in 2001, in wake of the 9/11 assaults), or January 2024, the AMPTP’s refusal to come back to the bargaining desk with both union places each proposed dates in danger.
