Young Artist Academy Stands with WGA and SAG-AFTRA

Hollywood, CA, July 27, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Per SAG-AFTRA, Award Shows & Special Events are exempt from the strike and union members are free to participate in the entertainment portions of award ceremonies – such as contracts for hosting or skits. However, since SAG-AFTRA members are not allowed to participate in interviews promoting struck projects, a red carpet and press junkets are virtually unfeasible. Additionally, since award participants are nominated for their artistry in specific projects (many of which are SAG-AFTRA), it would be nearly impossible to give an acceptance speech without drawing attention to struck projects. The publicity opportunities for the artists would be severely crippled.

Academy Chairman Simon Barron stated, “It would not be fair for the young artists if we bestowed them with a great honor during a time when they had no opportunity to talk about their amazing work. What good is a ‘win’ when you’re reluctant to share about it, even on social platforms? Waiting until the strike concludes is the best way to benefit our young stars and show that we support them.”

In recent years, the Young Artist Academy has featured celebrities, Hollywood executives and academy alumni (such as Scarlett Johansson, Brooke Shields, Danny Glover, Mario Lopez, Kelsey Grammer and Ian McKellen) present awards to young artists. Since SAG-AFTRA members would not be in a position to present most categories, the absence of star-power would further contribute to a lack-luster event.

The Award Show was originally slated for September 8, 2023, at the Directors Guild of America in Hollywood, California. A new date is yet to be announced, pending the end of union strikes. Existing ticket purchases will be honored for the event on the rescheduled date.

Nominations for the 44th Annual Awards were revealed Saturday, July 22nd, at the University Club atop Symphony Towers in San Diego, California (during Comic-Con International), at a private members-only soirée. For a full list of nominees: www.YoungArtistAcademy.org

The voting timeline remains the same, with Young Artist Academy Members casting their votes between August 5-20 to determine 2023 winners.

Yungblud has been forced to cancel his highly anticipated Liverpool concert, originally scheduled for July 12th at Mountford Hall, due to a debilitating bout of tonsillitis.

The artist shared a heartfelt statement expressing his regret: “I’m so sorry, I’ve woken up and my tonsillitis is really bad. I can’t even swallow, let alone sing… I promise I’m gonna make it up to you.” He acknowledged the inconvenience to fans, particularly those who had traveled to attend the show.

In a separate, candid post, Yungblud alluded to financial struggles, stating, “My bar is on the floor, money wise. So I really don’t wanna cancel. But if I do I promise I’ll make it up to you.” This adds another layer of complexity to the cancellation.

Despite this setback, Yungblud is still slated to perform at the TRNSMT Festival in Glasgow on July 14th. Fans are encouraged to check for updates regarding future performances and potential rescheduling of the Liverpool show.
