This milestone event promises a unique engraving on the trophies to mark its 75th anniversary. With the acclaimed series Succession leading the nominee pack with 27 nods, surprises and snubs are already making headlines. In this article, we look at the key details, from the event date and nominees to the host.

The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards will take place on Monday, January 15, 2024, at 8 p.m. Eastern Time and 5 p.m. Pacific Time, airing live on Fox from The Peacock Theater, hosted by the charismatic Anthony Anderson.
Originally planned for September 2023, the Emmy Awards faced delays due to concurrent Hollywood strikes, disrupting the industry for about six months.

The Primetime Emmy Awards: History
Established in 1949, the Primetime Emmys originally comprised three categories: regular Primetime Emmy Awards, Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards for technical achievements, and Primetime Engineering Emmy Awards for contributions to television engineering. However, it later expanded to include International Emmy Awards and Daytime Emmy Awards in the 1970s.
The iconic Emmy statuette, designed by Louis McManus, features a winged muse holding an electron, symbolizing the arts and sciences. Traditionally airing in September, the ceremony rotates among the major networks—ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC. Since 1995, each network has taken turns broadcasting the ceremony every four years.
In December 2021, ATAS and NATAS announced realignments to the Emmy Awards to accommodate the rise of streaming services, focusing on thematic and frequency considerations.
