Emmy Award


 

The Emmy Awards are United States television production awards, similar to the Peabody Awards but more focused on entertainment.

History

The first Emmy Awards were presented on January 25, 1949 at the Hollywood Athletic Club. The name "Emmy" was a feminization of "immy", a nickname used for the image orthicon tubes that were common in early television cameras. Shirley Dinsdale has the distinction of receiving the very first Emmy in the first awards ceremony.
