The Long-Delayed Emmys Air Monday


Six months after the nominations for the 75th Emmy Awards were announced, the Television Academy is finally ready to celebrate the best of the 2022-23 television season this Monday evening.

The L-A Times reports hit shows such as “The Last of Us,” “The Bear” and “The White Lotus” have already notched a few early wins at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, held earlier this month. Actors Nick Offerman and Storm Reid were recognized for their guest roles on HBO’s “The Last of Us,” which also took home wins for picture editing, main title design, prosthetic makeup, sound editing, sound mixing and visual effects. “The Bear” and “White Lotus,” meanwhile, won the awards for casting in a comedy series and casting in a drama series, respectively, among others.

When are the Emmys and why are they being held in January?

The 75th Emmy Awards will be held on Jan. 15 at the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live. The three-hour live telecast will kick off at 5 p.m. Pacific on Fox (and will be available the next day on Hulu).

Originally scheduled for September — when the ceremony is traditionally held — the Emmy Awards were postponed amid the historic dual Hollywood strikes by the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA that brought the industry to a halt.

The writers had already been on strike for two months when the Emmy nominations were announced in July. The actors walked out shortly after. Rather than proceed with no writers to write the show or presenters to hand out awards, Fox chose to push the event until after both labor disputes were resolvedt
