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.
