The 53rd Primetime Emmy Awards were set for September 16 (same date as this year's awards) but were postponed till October 7; when military action in Afghanistan began that day, they were postponed again till November 4, facing off against the seventh and deciding game of the World Series between the New York Yankees and the Arizona Diamondbacks; the D'Backs would win in true fashion.
