The
Emmys were originally slated to air on Fox on Sept. 18 and
nominations for the highest honors in television were announced
in July, just before the dual work stoppage was declared.
Hollywood actors last month joined film and television writers
who have been on picket lines since May after negotiations
between the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and major studios
reached an impasse.
It is the first time that both the writers' and actors' unions
have gone on strike together since 1960, effectively halting
production of scripted television shows and films and impacting
businesses across the entertainment world's orbit.
HBO drama "Succession," the story of a family's cutthroat fight
for control of a media empire, leads the nominees for
television's Emmy awards alongside fellow HBO show "The Last of
Us", a dystopian videogame adaptation.
Others competing for best drama include HBO's "Game of Thrones"
prequel "House of the Dragon", vacation-gone-wrong story "The
White Lotus" and Star Wars series "Andor". Previous nominees
"Better Call Saul", "Yellowjackets" and "The Crown" are also in
the mix.
The Emmy Awards will be broadcast live on Fox from the Peacock
Theater at LA Live on Jan. 15. The Creative Arts Emmys - a class
of awards recognizing technical and other similar achievements -
will take place on Jan. 6 and 7.
The show will be executive-produced by Jesse Collins, Dionne
Harmon and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay of Jesse Collins Entertainment.
