Emmy Awards 2023: New Date, How to Watch & Nominations

It’s been a big year for TV, in more ways than one. One of the most exciting events in the TV industry, the Emmy Awards commemorates the best shows and actors of the year. And while we can’t wait to see which of our favorite shows and actors will win, we will have to wait a bit longer than usual. The 2023 Emmy Awards has been postponed because of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, but the show will go on.

The new date for the 2023 Emmys is Monday, January 15, 2024. The award ceremony will be broadcast on FOX. There may be a few more months to wait, but it’s never too early to check out the year’s nominations. In fact, now there’s more time to catch up on all the great content nominated before the awards are announced!

WHAT ARE THE EMMY AWARDS?

For 75 years, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) have awarded the top shows and actors in TV for their outstanding performances. There are two versions of the Emmy ceremony, one for daytime programming and another for primetime television. This post will be focused on the Primetime Emmy Awards.

TV programs released between June 1, 2022, and May 31, 2023, are eligible for an Emmy nomination.

Nominations are typically announced at the beginning of July, and the voting period closes at the beginning of September. Only active members of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences can vote for the winners.

Since voting closes at the start of September, the winners have already been chosen, which certainly builds some anticipation leading up to the January event.

Until then, find out the nominees and how to watch Emmy nominated TV shows on DIRECTV.

NOMINATIONS FOR THE 75TH EMMY AWARDS

The Primetime Emmy Awards are split into a few main categories: Programs, Directing, Writing and Acting. Within those categories, there are awards for different genres and role types. There are also a number of creative arts Emmys, focusing on costume design, makeup, choreography and more.

It’s exciting to see a wide variety of shows and actors being nominated for the 2023 awards. One of the more surprising nominations is the unique – and hilarious – Jury Duty, the reality/documentary/prank show released earlier this year on Amazon Freevee. We hope to see other lower-budget shows like this getting nominations in the future.

Among the most nominated programs include The Last of Us, Succession, Ted Lasso and The White Lotus. HBO/Max shows have nominations up and down the board, coming in at the most nominated network.

Below is the list of the main award categories and the 2023 nominees for each. For the full list of awards and the 2023 nominees, head to the official Emmy Awards website.
