Viewers
got
a
double
dose
of
the
Primetime
Emmys
this
year.
The
2024
Emmy
Awards,
hosted
by
Dan
Levy and Eugene
Levy,
took
place
Sept.
15.
However,
eight
months
ago,
there
was
another
Primetime
Emmys—the
2023
event,
hosted
by
Anthony
Anderson,
was
held
in
January,
after
being
postponed
from
the
previous
September.
The
reason
for
the
delay?
Hollywood
writers
and
actors’
strikes
over
labor
disputes
with
major
studios,
which
prohibited
union
members
from
appearing
at
award
shows.
While
the
Primetime
Emmys
have
been
postponed
before,
this
marks
the
first
time
two
ceremonies
have
taken
place
in
one
year.
The
last
time
the
date
of
the
Emmy
Awards
was
pushed
back
was
in
2001,
when
it
was
delayed
twice
for
a
total
of
two
months
in
wake
of
the
Sept.
11
terrorist
attacks
and
subsequent
U.S.
military
action
in
Afghanistan.
This
time,
the
delay
was
caused
by
the
strikes
in
the
entertainment
industry.
In
May
2023,
the
Writers
Guild
of
America
(WGA),
representing
more
than
11,000
TV
and
movie
screenwriters,
went
on
strike
for
the
first
time
in
15
years,
halting
production
of
most
films
and
television
shows.
