What are the Emmy Awards?

About Emmy Awards:

  • The Emmy Awards are the most renowned accolades given to television and emerging media performances. Unlike Oscars and Golden Globe awards, they aren’t given for films.
  • These were conceived in 1948 and the first ceremony took place on January 25, 1949.
  • Apart from the International Emmy Awards and the Primetime Emmy Awards, the Emmys are also given in the following categories: daytime, sports, news and documentary, technology and engineering, and regional.
  • While Primetime Emmy Awards honour television shows produced only in America and aired during primetime, International Emmy Awards are for international shows.
  • Daytime Emmy Awards are given to American shows aired during late-morning and afternoon. Regional Emmy Awards are for regional television markets, including state-to-state programming, local news and locally produced shows.
  • These awards are given by three sister organizations:
    • First is the Television Academy, which administers the Primetime Emmy Awards.
    • Second is the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, which oversees daytime, sports, news and documentary categories.
    • Third is the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, which is responsible for International Emmys.
    • Each organisation maintains its own membership of television professionals who vote and decide who will get the award.
