In the wake of two historic Hollywood strikes, the show must go on.
In the midst of 2023’s writers and actors strikes, award shows felt the heat. Though typically held in September, the Emmy award ceremony was postponed until 2024. Now, nearly four months after its original air date, comes the 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards.
Here is everything we know about the 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards.
Why are the 2023 Emmys being held in January 2024?
Amid the long-lived Hollywood writers and actors strikes last summer and fall, the Television Academy and Fox rescheduled the 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards — which honors programs that aired between June 1, 2022 and May 31, 2023.
This marks the first time the award ceremony was postponed in more than 20 years, per The New York Times. The last time the ceremony got delayed was in the wake of the the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Who is hosting the 2023 Emmys?
Comedian and actor Anthony Anderson will host the award ceremony. Anderson is best known for his role on “Black-ish” and for hosting several game shows such as “We Are Family.”
Anderson is no stranger to the Emmys. He has been nominated for 11 awards — but has never taken one home. He told The Hollywood Reporter his performance will be “light humor to keep the show moving along.”
“I’ve been known to be a habitual line-crosser. I didn’t get this far in my career and achieve what I’ve achieved by playing it safe. We’re going to push the envelope and have fun, but we’re going to do it in a very respectful way,” Anderson told The Hollywood Reporter of his hosting gig. “You’ll have to tune in to see.”
How can I watch the 2023 Emmys?
The 2023 Primetime Emmy Award ceremony will air on Monday, Jan. 15 (yes, it is also Martin Luther King Jr. Day). The show will air live on Fox at 6 p.m. MST and will be available to stream the following day on Hulu.
