The 2023 Emmy Awards won't be taking place this year in light of ongoing strike in Hollywood. Check out its new date...

"As the Emmy Awards celebrates its 75th Anniversary, the show will broadcast live on FOX coast-to-coast from the Peacock Theater at LA Live and will honor the talented performers, writers, directors, and craftspeople whose work has entertained, inspired, and connected viewers across the globe throughout the past year," an official statement read..

After winning an Emmy for outstanding variety special (live) at the 74th annual ceremony, Jesse Collins will serve as this year's executive producer along with Dionne Harmon and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay of Jesse Collins Entertainment..

Since the WGA began its strike on May 2 after the writers and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) failed to reach an agreement before their deadline, multiple celebrities across the world of television, film, and music have stood in solidarity, reported People..

The union's national executive director and chief negotiator, Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, echoed the same sentiments as he shared with People that "strike will come to an end when [the AMPTP] are ready to come to the table and make a fair deal with our members.".
