The Emmy Awards have been affected by the Hollywood strikes and, as a result, will not take place on the originally scheduled date of September 18. The strikes have had a significant impact on the entertainment industry, as the union has not gone on strike since 1960, and the awards ceremony has been postponed due to this situation.
This ceremony is a major celebration in the entertainment industry. However, due to rules set by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), when actors are involved in a labor strike, they are not allowed to campaign for awards. nor can they attend award galas related to film or television.
The reasons why approximately 65,000 SAG-AFTRA actors and 11,500 members of the Writers Guild of America are on strike are for higher wages, better compensation for the use of their image and protection against the use of artificial intelligence in the creation and production of cinema.
In addition, the scriptwriters, who are also on strike, write the texts for the award presenters.

The postponement of the Emmy Awards ceremony is not something usual, since it is the first time in more than two decades that the Emmys have been postponed.
The last postponement occurred in 2001, when the Television Academy decided to delay the ceremony because of the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers on September 11. At the time, it aired in early November of that same year.
Until now, no agreement has been reached between the Alliance of Film and Television Producers (AMPTP), which represents the studios and the most important broadcast platforms, with the actors and screenwriters who have been on labor strike since May. Likewise, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has not yet confirmed the delay of the award ceremony.
