The Oscars of television were supposed to air in September, but that date could move as far back as January.

The ongoing Hollywood strikes will cause this year’s Emmy Awards to be postponed, US media claimed on Thursday. According to the Los Angeles Times, the Oscars of television could be moved back as far as January from its original September date.

The delay has not yet been formally announced, but according to trade journal Variety, “vendors, producers and others involved with the event” have already been told.

The first industry-wide walkout in 63 years is currently taking place, with both Hollywood’s actors and writers on strike.If the actors’ strike was still going on when the Emmys were held, celebrities would not be able to attend, which would be terrible for television ratings.Additionally, writers would not be permitted to prepare a monologue or jokes for the host and presenters of the programme.

Fox, which is broadcasting the American Emmy Awards this year, reportedly pushed for a January date change to give the strikes more time to end.A person familiar with the planning informed AFP that no alternative date had yet been decided upon for the concert.
