75th Primetime Emmy Awards

75th Primetime Emmy Awards
The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards will honor the best in American prime time television programming from June 1, 2022, until May 31, 2023, as chosen by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. The ceremony is scheduled to be broadcast on Fox on January 15, 2024, with the Creative Arts Emmys on January 6 and 7, at the Peacock Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, California, following a delay from September 2023 due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike and the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. Nominations were announced on July 12, 2023.
Nominees
Nominees for the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards were announced on July 12, 2023, in a virtual broadcast hosted by actress Yvette Nicole Brown and Television Academy chair Frank Scherma. Succession led all programs with 27 nominations, including 14 acting nominations to tie its own record from the previous year. It also became the first series to receive three nominations for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. The Last of Us became the first live-action video game adaptation to be nominated in major Emmy categories. In individual achievements, Paris Barclay's nomination for Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story made him the first black director to be nominated in comedy, drama, and limited series categories; Jenna Ortega became the second-youngest nominee for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series after Patty Duke; Pedro Pascal's three nominations made him the most-nominated Latino in a year; and Keivonn Montreal Woodard became the youngest male actor and second deaf actor to be nominated. HBO and Max led all networks with 127 nominations, and the two services became the first network with four Outstanding Drama Series nominees since NBC at the 1992 ceremony. Amazon Freevee and Tubi each earned their first nominations this year for Jury Duty and The Nevers, respectively.

Ceremony information
In February 2023, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (also known as the Television Academy) and broadcaster Fox announced the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards would be held on September 18, with the Creative Arts ceremonies on September 9 and 10. This marked the second year in a row that the ceremony would fall on a Monday; while it was described as an "unusual" move, since only NBC typically aired the Emmys on Mondays since 2014 (due to NBC Sunday Night Football), it would prevent the broadcast from interfering with National Football League games. The ceremony will be produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment, taking over for Done and Dusted and Hudlin Entertainment. Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay will serve as producers. In honor of the Emmys' 75th anniversary, the statuettes for these ceremonies will feature the number 75 etched in the base.
Due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike that began on May 2, 2023, the Television Academy allowed companies to cancel scheduled For Your Consideration events without penalty. Members of the Writers Guild of America were also told to not attend promotional events while the strike is ongoing. The 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike then began on July 14. The Television Academy reportedly planned to postpone the ceremony should either strike continue into August (following the postponement of the 50th Daytime Emmy Awards, which was originally scheduled earlier for June 16). The last time the Primetime Emmys were delayed was in 2001 following the September 11 attacks. The Television Academy first told vendors in late July that the ceremony would be delayed, though no official announcement was made at the time. According to several reports, the Television Academy preferred a November makeup date, while Fox preferred a January date due to fall broadcast commitments. On August 10, the ceremony was officially rescheduled for January 15, 2024. The final round of voting still occurred in late August as scheduled.
Category and rule changes
In June 2022, the Television Academy announced the elimination of the "hanging episode" rule for the 2023 ceremony. In previous years, episodes that aired after the May 31 eligibility deadline but before nominations voting began could be placed on a Television Academy platform for viewing. Following the rule change, all episodes must air for a national audience by May 31, or those episodes will be moved to the following ceremony; if the program does not air a new season in that following year, the episodes would be eligible for individual achievement awards only.
Following a realignment between the Primetime Emmy Awards and Daytime Emmy Awards for the 2022 ceremonies, the Television Academy and the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced in August 2022 that game shows would move to the primetime ceremony. New categories include Outstanding Game Show and Outstanding Host for a Game Show. To accommodate the change, the eligibility window for game shows will span from January 1, 2022, to May 31, 2023. Additionally, to avoid confusion over where programs qualify, Outstanding Competition Program was renamed to Outstanding Reality Competition Program. Game shows featuring children as contestants are eligible for the Children's and Family Emmy Awards only.
More rule changes were announced in December 2022. Most notably, the variety categories were rearranged, with Outstanding Variety Talk Series and Outstanding Variety Sketch Series becoming Outstanding Talk Series and Outstanding Scripted Variety Series. The first category covers programs focused on "unscripted interviews or panel discussions between a host/hosts and guest celebrities or personalities", while the second covers those that "consist of discrete scenes, musical numbers, monologues, comedy stand-ups, sketches, etc." The move was seen as an attempt to resolve the dwindling number of variety sketch series and to separate news-focused programs from more variety-focused talk shows; the existing categories were initially merged in late 2020 before being split again a few months later. Other changes included caps on nominations-round voting and changes to tracked categories.
