Every Hollywood awards show, major movie postponed by writers' and actors' strikes
The 14th Governors Awards has been rescheduled until next year due to the ongoing writers' and actors' strike, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences announced Wednesday.
The awards show was scheduled for Nov. 18 in Los Angeles but has been tentatively moved to January 9, 2024, pending a resolution to the ongoing labor disputes that have brought Hollywood to a halt. Angela Bassett, Mel Brooks and editor Carol Littleton will receive honorary Oscars at the annual event, and the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award will be presented to the Sundance Institute’s Michelle Satter.
"The Academy is working closely with the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA), and will continue to monitor the situation," an AMPAS announcement says.
As the WGA writer's strike, which began May 2, and the SAG-AFTRA actor's strike, which began July 14, continue, here's a list of other events and movies that have been postponed.
Primetime Emmy Awards moved to January
In August, the Television Academy announced that the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards were moved from Sept. 18 to Jan. 15. The move means that there will be no Primetime Emmy broadcast in 2023, the first time the show has missed a calendar year since the Emmys launched in 1949.
Fox will air the show on Jan. 15 (8 EST/5 PST), Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, from the Peacock Theater at Los Angeles' LA Live. No host has been announced for the awards, honoring the best in TV.
HBO leads the nominations with 127, and just three of its series — "Succession," "The Last of Us" and "The White Lotus" — racking up 74 nominations.
The Creative Arts Emmy Awards, originally scheduled for September 9 and 10, will take place earlier in January and span two consecutive nights, starting Jan. 6. The show, honoring the best in artistic and technical achievement will air Jan. 13 at 8 EST on FXX.

The Daytime Emmy Awards, which were to be held June 16 in Los Angeles, were postponed in May by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. A new date for the 50th annual Daytime Emmys honoring soap operas and talk shows has not been set.
"We look forward to our community gathering together as one to celebrate our Golden Anniversary and all of the talented nominees and honorees at a later date," said Adam Sharp, Academy president and CEO.
