The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) has announced its 2023 dates for the Daytime Creative Arts & Lifestyle Emmy Awards as well as dates for its second annual Children’s & Family Creative Arts Emmy Awards.
The Daytime Creative Arts & Lifestyle Emmy Awards Luncheon will take place on Dec. 16 at noon PT, while the Children’s & Family Creative Arts Emmy Awards Dinner will be hosted on Dec. 16 at 8 p.m. PT. The Children’s & Family Emmy Awards and Trustees’ Gala will top off the weekend on Dec. 17 at 5 p.m. PT.
All events will be held at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles. The Academy will start the weekend with a private luncheon to honors its 2023 Daytime and Children’s & Family inductees into the Gold & Silver Circle honor society on Dec. 14.
Talk show host Maury Povich, who was previously announced as a Daytime Emmys Lifetime Achievement Honoree, will receive his award at the ceremony on Dec. 16 as well. Nominations for the Daytime Emmy nominations were announced in April, while the Children’s & Family nominations were announced on Nov. 2.
“We are pleased to honor once again the writers, performers and other creators that inspire and entertain audiences of all ages,” said Adam Sharp, President and CEO of NATAS. “We look forward to a fun-packed weekend that underscores the amazing scope of content making a difference in viewers’ lives.”
According to NATAS, SAG-AFTRA members appearing on daytime dramas, talk shows and other non-dramatic programs “work under the guild’s Network Code agreement, which remains a non-struck contract. The majority of programs recognized in the Children’s & Family Emmy Awards competition were similarly produced under agreements not subject to the strike. However, some Children’s & Family Emmy-nominated programs remain struck. NATAS salutes the nominated performances of those SAG-AFTRA members who appeared in these programs but acknowledges that it is a violation of the guild’s strike rules for such members to promote or publicize their nominations for struck work.”
In May, NATAS postponed the Daytime Emmys and the Creative Arts and Lifestyle ceremony due to the Writers Guild of America strike. Previously, the Daytime Emmys were scheduled for June 16, and Creative Arts and Lifestyle ceremony had been set for June 17. The WGA strike ended on Sept. 27. However, no new date has been set for the Daytime Emmys.
