Florence Pugh recently joined SAG Protest. Hollywood has been going through a tough time recently, an industry that has an illustrious and monumental history of more than a century old is in its arguably most challenging phase.

Last month it was announced by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences that the Emmy Awards which was scheduled to take place on September 18, has been postponed and is now expected to take place in January of 2024.

This is only the second time in Hollywood history that the Emmy has been postponed, the first such happening was after the 9/11 incident back in 2001.

The hosts of the event, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences have officially made the announcement of the postponement without giving any reason, so now the real question is why has this happened?

Well, it is due to the widespread protest that has been started by the union of writers and actors – Writers Guild of America (WGA) and Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA).
