The 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards is the latest televised ceremony to be upended by striking screenwriters.
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, which organizes the annual event, announced Tuesday that the show — originally scheduled for June 16 — will be postponed to a later date.
“We look forward to our community gathering together as one to celebrate our Golden Anniversary and all of the talented nominees and honorees at a later date,” the organization said in a statement.
The Creative Arts & Lifestyle ceremony, scheduled for June 17, will also be delayed until there’s a strike resolution with the Writers Guild of America.
“We now intend to hold the ceremonies at a later date pending the resolution of the strike,” the NATAS added.
This is not the first awards ceremony to be impacted by the strike, which began on May 2.
The live broadcast of the 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards went belly-up when host Drew Barrymore and other Hollywood heavyweights dropped out in solidarity with striking writers. A pre-taped special aired instead.
On Monday, the WGA announced that it didn’t plan to picket the Tony Awards on June 11. The move could allow the Broadway-focused fete to continue with altered plans that “conform with specific requests from the WGA.”
