Fox is predicted to announce soon that television’s Emmys might be rescheduled to air in January next 12 months on account of strikes by writers and actors in america, the Los Angeles Times reported on Thursday, citing an individual aware of the plans.
The ceremony was originally slated to be telecast on Sept. 18, and the LA Times reported the January date is contingent on a resolution to disputes between the studios and guilds before then.
Hollywood actors went on strike earlier this month after talks with studios broke down, joining film and tv writers who’ve been on picket lines since May and deepening the disruption of scores of shows and films.
Nominations for the best honors in television were announced about two weeks ago just before the twin work stoppage was declared.
The strikes were expected to delay the Emmys ceremony beyond its normal September date.
Variety reported earlier on Thursday that vendors for the Emmys Awards had been informed of the approaching date change.
Fox declined to comment while the Television Academy didn’t immediately reply to Reuters.
