Overview

• Emmy organizers are discussing contingency plans, including delaying the event, due to the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike.
• The Emmys heavily rely on writers, making an unscripted ceremony unlikely.
• The previous writers strike in 2007-08 did not affect the Emmys, but the Golden Globes were impacted.
• The WGA strike is approaching its third month, and negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers have not resumed.
• The current round of Emmy voting ends on June 26, with nominations announced on July 12, and the final round of voting taking place between Aug. 17 and Aug. 28.
