The 50th Annual Daytime Emmys Postponed
“The 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards planned for Friday, June 16 on CBS is postponed due to the WGA [Writers Guild of America] strike. In addition, the Creative Arts Lifestyle ceremony, planned for Saturday, June 17, has been postponed pending a strike resolution.
