The Emmys were originally slated to air on Fox on Sept. 18
and nominations for the highest honors in television were announced in July,
just before the dual work stoppage was declared.
Hollywood actors last month joined film and television
writers who have been on picket lines since May after negotiations between the
Writers Guild of America (WGA) and major studios reached an impasse.
It is the first time that both the writers’ and actors’
unions have gone on strike together since 1960, effectively halting production
of scripted television shows and films and impacting businesses across the
entertainment world’s orbit.
HBO drama “Succession,” the story of a family’s cutthroat
fight for control of a media empire, leads the nominees for television’s Emmy
awards alongside fellow HBO show “The Last of Us”, a dystopian videogame
adaptation.

Others competing for best drama include HBO’s “Game of
Thrones” prequel “House of the Dragon”, vacation-gone-wrong story “The White
Lotus” and Star Wars series “Andor”. Previous nominees “Better Call Saul”,
“Yellowjackets” and “The Crown” are also in the mix.
The Emmy Awards will be broadcast live on Fox from the
Peacock Theater at LA Live on Jan. 15. The Creative Arts Emmys – a class of
awards recognizing technical and other similar achievements – will take place
on Jan. 6 and 7.
