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.
