Fox and the Television Academy has announced postponing the 75th Emmy Awards to mid-January 2024 following strikes by Hollywood’s actors and writers.
In a statement, Fox said the Television’s equivalent of the Oscars had been due to take place this September and will now be held in four months to come.
“We are pleased to announce that the 75th Emmy Awards will now air on Monday, January 15, 2024.”
The Emmys are the biggest entertainment event to be postponed due to Hollywood's first actor and writer strike to affect the whole business in over 60 years.
The last time the Emmys were postponed was in 2001, after the 9/11 attacks when the ceremony was rescheduled.

A-list celebs and nominees would not be permitted to attend the Emmys due to the ongoing actors' strike, which would be devastating for television viewership.
Additionally, writers would not be permitted to prepare a monologue or jokes for the host and presenters of the programme.
Although there hasn't been much communication through any official channels since the authors' strike started 100 days ago, the protracted wait is meant to give both parties time to work out their disagreements.
n the picket lines last month, members of the much bigger Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) joined the Writers Guild of America (WGA).
In addition to increased salary, both demand guarantees that artificial intelligence won't take their jobs or money.
There have been rumours of Emmy's postponement in recent weeks, but neither the postponement nor a new date has been officially announced.
The Emmys air in the thick of Hollywood's busy film awards season, in mid-January.
The Emmys will occur just one day after the Critics' Choice Awards and one week after the Golden Globes.
On March 10, the Oscars are scheduled to take place.
