The Emmys are presented by three related, but separate, organizations: the [[Academy of Television Arts & Sciences]] (ATAS), the [[National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences|National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences]] (NATAS), and the [[International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences]] (IATAS).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.emmys.tv/awards/index.php |publisher=[[Academy of Television Arts & Sciences]] |title=Awards |access-date=June 21, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080914122914/http://www.emmys.tv/awards/index.php |archive-date=September 14, 2008 }}</ref> Each of these three organizations is responsible for administering a particular set of Emmy Award ceremonies. The ATAS first awarded Emmys in 1949 to honor shows produced in the [[Los Angeles]] area before it became a national event in the 1950s to honor programs aired nationwide. Over the next two decades, the ATAS, the NATAS, and the IATAS expanded the award to honor other sectors of the TV industry.<ref name="emmyHistory"/>
==History==
The Los Angeles–based [[Academy of Television Arts & Sciences]] (ATAS) established the Emmy Award as part of an image-building and [[public relations]] opportunity.<ref name="emmyHistory">{{cite web | url=http://www.emmys.com/content/history-emmy-1940s | title= A History of Emmy – The 1940s | publisher=[[Academy of Television Arts & Sciences]] | access-date=January 24, 2017}}</ref> The [[1st Primetime Emmy Awards|first Emmy ceremony]] took place on January 25, 1949, at the [[Hollywood Athletic Club]], but solely to honor shows produced and aired locally in the Los Angeles area.

In the 1950s, the ATAS expanded the Emmys into a national event to honor shows aired nationwide on [[broadcast television]]. In 1955, the [[National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences]] (NATAS) was formed in New York City as a sister organization to serve members on the [[East Coast of the United States|East Coast]]. While the ATAS maintained a separate ceremony to honor shows aired locally in the Los Angeles area,<ref name="ATAS Los Angeles"/> the NATAS established regional chapters throughout the rest of the United States, with each one developing their own local Emmy ceremony for local programming.<ref name="emmyHistory"/>

In 1977, due to various conflicts, the ATAS and the NATAS broke ties. They agreed to share ownership of the Emmy statue and trademark, with each responsible for administering a specific set of award events.<ref name="emmyHistory"/> There was an exception regarding the Engineering Awards (those honoring individuals, companies, or scientific or technical organizations in recognition of significant developments and contributions to the engineering and technological aspects of television): The NATAS continues to administer the [[Technology & Engineering Emmy Award]]s, while the ATAS holds the separate [[Primetime Engineering Emmy Awards]].
With the rise of cable television in the 1980s, cable programs first became eligible for the Primetime Emmys in 1988,<ref>{{cite news | url=
In December 2021, the ATAS and the NATAS announced a major realignment of the national Emmy Award ceremonies in response to the growth of streaming television programs, blurring the lines in determining which shows fall under Daytime or Primetime. Each of the ceremonies' scopes would now revolve around factors such as the themes and frequency of such programming, rather than [[Dayparting|dayparts]]. Among the major changes, daytime dramas would remain in the Daytime Emmys but most other scripted dramas and comedies would move to the Primetime Emmys, all children's programming would move to the newly created [[Children's & Family Emmy Awards|Children's & Family Emmys]] that the NATAS previously announced in November 2021, [[Breakfast television|morning shows]] would move from the Daytime Emmys to the [[News & Documentary Emmy Awards|News & Documentary Emmys]], and talk shows would now be divided between the Daytime and Primetime Emmys based on "format and style characteristics reflective of current programming in the daytime or late night space". The realignment of game shows and instructional programming categories will be determined later in 2023.<ref>{{cite news|last=Hill|first=Libby|title=Television Academies Announce Overhaul of Primetime and Daytime Emmy Award Categories|url=https://www.indiewire.com/2021/12/tv-academy-natas-overhaul-primetime-emmys-daytime-categories-1234685438/|work=IndieWire|date=December 14, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Andreeva|first=Nellie|title=Emmys: Primetime & Daytime Awards Get Realigned Based On Genre Not Airtime; Dramas, Talk Shows & Game Shows Impacted|url=https://deadline.com/2021/12/emmys-primetime-daytime-awards-realignment-genre-not-airtime-dramas-talk-shows-game-shows-1234890534/|work=Deadline|date=December 14, 2021}}</ref>

When deciding a name for the award, ATAS founder [[Syd Cassyd]] originally suggested "Ike", the nickname for the television [[iconoscope]] tube. "Ike" was also the popular nickname of [[World War II]] hero and future U.S. President [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]], and the ATAS members wanted something unique. Finally, television engineer and the third academy president Harry Lubcke suggested the name "Immy", a term commonly used for the [[Video camera tube#Image orthicon|image orthicon tube]] used in the early cameras.<ref name="emmyOrigin"/> After "Immy" was chosen, it was later feminized to Emmy to match their female statuette.<ref name="emmyOrigin"/>
The weight and dimensions of the Emmy statuette vary among the events. Each Primetime Emmy statuette weighs {{convert|6|lb|12+1/2|oz|kg|spell=in}}, and is made of copper, nickel, silver, and gold. The statue stands {{convert|15.5|in|cm}} tall with a base diameter of {{convert|7.5|in|cm}} and weight of {{convert|88|oz|kg}}. The Regional Emmy Award statuette is {{convert|11.5|in|cm}} tall with a base diameter of {{convert |5.5|in|cm}} and weight of {{convert|48|oz|kg}}. Each takes five and a half hours to make and is handled with white gloves to prevent fingerprints. The Primetime Emmy statues are manufactured by [[R.S. Owens & Company]] based in [[Chicago|Chicago, Illinois]], which was also charged with manufacturing the Academy Award statues until 2016, when [[AMPAS]] switched to Polich Tallix in [[Walden, New York]].<ref name= "History of the Emmy Statue">{{cite web|last=Award|first=Emmy|title=History of the Emmy Statue|url=http://www.emmys.tv/awards/history-emmy-statuette|work=NATAS History|publisher=NATAS|access-date=September 17, 2011}}</ref><ref name="R.S.

As its trademark owners, the ATAS and the NATAS hold firm rules on the use of the "Emmy" image as well as its name. For example, the Emmy statuette must always appear facing left. Any copyright notice for the statue should read "ATAS/NATAS", listing both academies. Academy members must also obtain permission to use the statue image or name for promotional uses even though they are winners of the award. Furthermore, DVDs of Emmy-winning shows may reference the fact that they received an Emmy, but cannot use the statue image unless it is capable of being removed from all copies one year after the award is presented.<ref name="ATAS Trademark and Copyright">{{cite web | url=http://www.emmys.com/trademark-policy | title=ATAS Copyright and Trademark Policies | publisher=ATAS |access-date=January 23, 2018}}</ref><ref name="NATAS Trademark and Copyright">{{cite web | url=http://emmyonline.com/trademarks | title=NATAS Copyright and Trademark Policies | publisher=NATAS | access-date=January 23, 2018 | archive-date=February 2, 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190202095208/http://emmyonline.com/trademarks | url-status=dead }}</ref>

Various Emmy events competitions are held annually throughout the calendar year, ranging from honoring nationally televised shows to regionally and locally produced programs. Each event has its own set of award categories, nominating and voting procedures, and rules regarding voting committees, among others. It is not uncommon for one event to have some of the same category names that another event uses. (e.g. [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series|''Primetime'' Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series]] and [[Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series|''Daytime'' Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series]]).{{citation needed|date=January 2021}}

The Sports Emmy Awards are presented by the NATAS for excellence in [[Broadcasting of sports events|sports programming]]. The awards ceremony takes place every Spring, usually sometime in the last two weeks in April or the first week in May
Voting is done by peer judging panels. The NATAS solicits anybody with significant experience in national sports production to serve as judges. The panels are organized so that they only have one representative from each corporate entity (i.e. [[Paramount Global]], [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]], [[NBCUniversal]], [[Fox Corporation]], [[Warner Bros. Discovery]] etc.) Most categories only have a single voting round using preferential scoring system. The top 5 entries in each category are announced as the nominations, and then the top entry is announced as the Emmy winner later at the awards ceremony.<ref name="SportsEmmyRules">{{cite web | url=http://www.emmyonline.org/sports/applications/33rd/sports_33rd_annual_rulebook.pdf | archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/6D4g2SJ53?url=http://www.emmyonline.org/sports/applications/33rd/sports_33rd_annual_rulebook.pdf | url-status=dead | archive-date=December 21, 2012 | title=33rd Sports Emmys Rules and Procedures | publisher=National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences | access-date=March 2, 2012 }}</ref>
