Strike-delayed Emmys gets ready to honour best of TV

The Emmy Awards, normally one of Hollywood’s September red-carpet rituals, will take the stage on Monday in a strike-delayed ceremony to honour the best of television.

HBO‘s ‘Succession’, about the wealthy but miserable Roy family, leads all nominees with 27 nods. It is widely expected to win its third best-drama trophy. Most shows on the list come from streaming services, which grabbed their highest share of nominations ever, a Reuters report said.

Some of the shows aired as far back as June 2022. Nominations were announced in July 2023, and voting took place a month later.

“If you are predicting Emmy winners, you have to remember what the vibe was like back in August,” said Joyce Eng, senior editor at the Gold Derby awards website.

Organizers postponed the ceremony from its September date because Hollywood writers and actors were out on strike at the time. The labour disputes shut down production and promotion and forced broadcast TV networks to fill their fall schedules with re-runs and reality shows.

With the strikes over, the Emmys will give Hollywood a chance to spotlight TV and streaming series such as best comedy nominee ‘Abbott Elementary, which returns to Walt Disney’s ABC with new episodes next month.

‘Abbott,” which runs on a broadcast network, is an outlier. Nearly two-thirds of shows nominated streamed on platforms such as Netflix and Apple TV+, data from Nielsen’s Gracenote found. That is the highest proportion for streaming services ever, the Reuters report added.

Previously, Emmy wins would provide bragging rights to help build audiences for a cable or broadcast show. For streamers, “winning the Emmy is more about branding and increasing their subscriber counts,” media consultant Brad Adgate said.

Comedian and ‘Black-ish’ actor Anthony Anderson will host the Emmys gala, which will be broadcast live from downtown Los Angeles on the FoxTV network.

Meanwhile, Indianbroadcastingworld.com learns that in India, the Emmys will be streamed on Lionsgate app and will be live early Tuesday morning India time.
