The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards: Who's Hosting, Who's Nominated, When Are the Emmys, and More

The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards will be a 2024 affair.

That's right: The ceremony honoring programs that aired all the way back in June 2022 has not yet happened, even as we're past 2023. There is a good reason for this. The one-two punch of the writers and actors strikes last summer necessitated the delaying of the ceremony that typically airs in mid-September.

So what's going on with the Emmys? Here's everything to know about when the ceremony will air and what it will look like:

When are the Emmys?

The 75th Primetime Emmys are currently scheduled to air on Fox on Monday, Jan. 15, 2024, nearly four months after the ceremony's originally scheduled date, Sept. 18, 2023. Accordingly, the Creative Arts Emmys, which honors artistic and technical achievements for the year, took place on Jan. 6 and 7, 2024.

The ceremonies were delayed in response to the respective WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, which would have significantly limited the number of stars and writers who could attend the event in September. In essence, the Emmys would have lacked a certain star quality that attracts viewers.

ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC rotate broadcasting duties of the Emmys ceremony each year. Fox will be the home of the 75th Emmy Awards.

Voting on the Emmys

Even though the Emmys ceremony was significantly delayed, the voting for the actual awards went on as planned. The nominations were announced on July 12 in a virtual ceremony, just two days before the SAG-AFTRA strike began. The eligibility window for the nominees was June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2023. This means nominees may have aired new seasons that will not be eligible until the next Emmys; FX's The Bear, for example, has already completed airing its second season but is eligible for Season 1 at these Emmys.

Despite nominated SAG-AFTRA and WGA members being unable to attend any promotional or "For Your Consideration" events at the time, the voting period commenced in August. The Television Academy has since kept the results under lock and key until it can unveil the winners during the Jan. 15 ceremony.

Who is hosting the Emmys?

This year's host of the Emmys will be Anthony Anderson, star of black-ish and Law & Order. Though Anderson hasn't hosted the Emmys before, he is no stranger to the Emmys or to hosting an awards show. He has been nominated for 11 Emmys, most of them for his lead role in black-ish, and he hosted the NAACP Image Awards from 2014 to 2022. 

The host in 2022 was Saturday Night Live's Kenan Thompson; Cedric the Entertainer hosted in 2021, and Jimmy Kimmel had the job in 2020.

How to watch the Emmys

The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards will air 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Monday, Jan. 15, 2024, on Fox, and will be available next day on Hulu. The Creative Arts Emmys took place on Jan. 6 and 7, 2024. Fox has not yet announced a livestream of the Emmys.
