2023 Daytime Emmys Postponed Amid WGA Writers Strike
The 2023 Daytime Emmys are being postponed. The annual awards show will not air on Friday, June 16 as previously announced.
The show was meant to air live for the first time in two years, but amid the ongoing WGA writers strike, the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) has chosen to delay the event in solidarity.
In a statement released by NATAs president and CEO Adam Sharp, he said, “The 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards planned for Friday, June 16 on CBS is postponed due to the WGA strike. In addition, the Creative Arts & Lifestyle postponed pending a strike resolution.”
“We look forward to our community gathering together as one to celebrate our Golden Anniversary and all of the talented nominees and honorees at a later date.”
The ceremony was meant to mark a major milestone with its 50th anniversary, but for now, fans will have to stand by and wait for the event to be rescheduled. Depending on how long the strike continues will determine when the ceremony is rescheduled for.
Along with airing on CBS, the event was meant to also stream live on Paramount+, and will likely do so once a new date and time are set. In the meantime, stay tuned for updates on the Daytime Emmys as the strike carries on and let us know your thoughts on the postponed event in the comments section, below.
