Daytime Emmys Postponed Due To Writers Strike

Unfortunately, soap fans are not going to be seeing their favorite actors from General Hospital, Days of Our Lives, The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful take the stage anytime soon. But the good news is that the event will be rescheduled for a later date after a resolution between the WGA and AMPTP is found. 

In a statement, Adam Sharp, President & CEO of The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, said, “The 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards planned for Friday, June 16 on CBS is postponed due to the WGA strike. In addition, the Creative & Lifestyle ceremony, planned for Saturday, June 17, has been postponed pending a strike resolution. 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.”
