The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards, first listed for 2023, have been postponed to January 15, 2024, due to Hollywood's recent strikes. The event will take place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles and will be hosted by Anthony Anderson. The Award show will be broadcast live on the Fox network at 8 p.m. Eastern and will be available for streaming on Hulu the following day.
Anthony Anderson, known for his work on ABC's "Black-ish," will be hosting the Emmys for the first time. The Peacock Theater, preliminarily known as the Microsoft Theater and the Nokia Theatre, has been the venue for the Emmys since 2008.
HBO shows dominated the nominations, with" Race" leading the pack with 27 nominations for its fourth and final season." The Last of Us" entered 24 nominations, and" The White Lotus" garnered 23 nominations." Ted Lasso" was the top comedy series designee with 21 nominations.
The major strike by the writers and actors in Hollywood caused the delay in the Emmy Awards. The show had to be laid over for four months due to the Hollywood strike. The Television Academy was relieved when the actors suggested authorizing their new strike-ending contract on December 5, ending the cessation.
The January date aligns the Emmys with the rest of Hollywood's awards season, placing it a week after the Golden Globes and about six weeks before the Screen Actors Guild Awards. This delay marks the first time the Emmys have been postponed since 2001, when the 9/11 attacks occurred just five days before the planned ceremony.
