What are the Emmy Awards?
The Los Angeles-based Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS) established the Emmy Awards as part of an image-building and public relations opportunity in 1949. The awards are now presented by three bodies: the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS), the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS), and the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (IATAS). The Emmy Awards usually refer to the two most coveted awards, the Primetime Emmy Awards and the Daytime Emmy Awards. However, the Primetime Engineering Emmy Awards and Regional Emmy Awards are also presented throughout the year. The name Emmy comes from the casual term for an image orthicon, “immy”, a camera tube used in TV production. The Emmy Awards are now held every year in the US and cover the televised releases from June of the previous year until May of the same year.
