Emmy Award: What is It?

By actorguru on Sep 28, 2008 in Words to Know

The Emmy Award, also known as the Emmy, is a television production award, similar in nature to the Peabody Awards but more focused on entertainment, and is considered the television equivalent to the Oscars. They are presented in various sectors of the television industry, including entertainment programming, news and documentary shows, and sports programming. As such, the awards are presented in various area-specific ceremonies held annually throughout the year. The best known of these ceremonies are the Primetime Emmy Awards, honoring excellence in American primetime television programming (excluding sports), and the Daytime Emmy Awards, honoring excellence in American daytime television programming. Three related but separate organizations present the Emmy Awards:

the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS) honors national prime time entertainment excluding sports;
the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) recognizes daytime, sports, news and documentary programming, and;
the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences honors all programming produced and originally aired outside the United States.
