As the Writers Guild of America strike enters its third month, the Television Academy and Fox are deliberating over the possibility of postponing the Emmy Awards.
Eligible members of the TV Academy have been actively participating in the nominations round of Emmy voting for nearly a week. However, uncertainty looms over how and when the eventual winners will receive their coveted trophies amidst the ongoing labor dispute in Hollywood.
With less than three months remaining until the scheduled September 18 ceremony and live telecast, sources reveal that organizers are actively engaged in discussions about various contingency plans. One potential option being considered is the complete postponement of the event if the industry's labor strife persists through the summer.
This development shouldn't come as a complete surprise, as the Emmys hold a distinctive focus on writers within the entertainment industry.
