The 75th Emmys are scheduled to be broadcast live on September 18th at 8 p.m. ET on Fox. However, the ceremonies may have to be postponed due to the ongoing Hollywood writers' strike. The Daytime Emmys have already been postponed until the strike is resolved. As of this writing, the situation doesn't look too promising.
Mayim Bialik walked off the set of Jeopardy! in support of the Writers' Guild of America (WGA when it went on strike in early May. (Ken Jennings, who is not an actor, has been the sole host since Mayim walked off0.
Talks between the SAG-ACTRA actors union and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMTP) reached an impasse on Wednesday night when an agreement on a new contract could not be reached. SAG-ACTRA announced that its negotiators had unanimously recommended a strike after the breakdown of labour talks with the Hollywood studios. SAG-AFTRA will meet today to formerly vote on a strike. If a strike is approved, then actors will join writers on the picket line. This would mark the first time since 1960 that both the writers and actors have been on strike simultaneously. It is interesting to note that 63 years ago, former U.S. president Ronald Reagan led the Screen Actors Guild.(SAG).
