Will the protests in Hollywood affect the Emmys?
The 75th Emmy Awards ceremony is scheduled for September 18, however the lavish event is threatened by the situation in Hollywood.
While the scriptwriters have been picketing outside the studios for more than two months, the Screen Actors Union (SAG-AFTRA) could go on strike at midnight this Wednesday (0700 GMT) if they do not reach an agreement contractual agreement with the studios.
Screenwriters and actors fight for salary increases and other benefits. A double strike in Hollywood, something not seen since the 1960s, could bring the tinsel town to a near standstill, forcing, among other things, a postponement of the ceremony.
In normal years, industry insiders debate which shows will be nominated, not whether the Emmys will actually take place. But this year, the ceremony is threatened by the writers’ strike that entered its eleventh week.
“If there is a strike, it could really affect the making of the Emmys,” said Pete Hammond, an awards columnist for Deadline. “The Television Academy is going to have to think, ‘How long is this going to go on?’ and ‘What is our deadline to postpone the ceremony?’”
