HBO may dominate the Emmy nominations — set to be announced this morning — with its elite trio of “Succession,” “The White Lotus” and “The Last of Us.' But the dominant theme is the writers strike and the possibility that actors may soon join them.
“Community” star Yvette Nicole Brown and Television Academy Chair Frank Scherma will announce the nominees.
But the possibility of an industry debilitated by two strikes could dampen any joy for those nominated, and could put the damper on the ceremony scheduled for September 18 on the Fox network. The work walkout from the writers who are essential to most awards telecasts is now in its 10th week, and with no negotiations planned, there’s no end in sight.
The actors union’s contract with the consortium of studios, streaming services and production companies that hire them expires just hours after the nominations are announced, and a strike could follow if no agreement is reached. While last-minute deals often happen and the two sides could talk past the deadline, a strike from performers would leave the Emmys without its primary cast members, and could also eliminate promotional interviews and events that nominees do during the run-up.
