The Emmy Awards will happen, after all.
But not until Monday, January 15th, 2024. That’s the day after the Critics Choice Awards on January 14th, making a blow out Hollywood weekend.
Moving the Emmys to that weekend also deals a death blow to the Golden Globes, which still don’t have a broadcast partner anyway. The Globes took the Sunday one week earlier– January 7th. But now if they find a partner, the Globes will be silo’d away from this huge awards fest coming the next week.
Of course, all of this is moot if the strikes aren’t over. But reasonable people and minds must prevail so that the strikes will be long in the past by then.
As for the Globes, since they were sold to Todd Boehly’s Eldridge Partners, there are more questions than answers. What happened to the Hollywood Foreign Press? Who would vote on the Golden Globes, and how? They might be smart to delay until February now since August is quickly disappearing. The big question is how this will affect travel for the HFPA members. Will they be spending lavishly on travel to film festivals?
Anyway, look for January 15th weekend to be a big party in Hollywood!
