Emmy Awards trivia
The Primetime Emmy Awards are an award ceremony that rewards the best television shows of the year. The very first ceremony was all the way back in 1949. The Television Academy started when its founder, Syd Cassyd, decided that television was an outlet that deserved to be taken seriously.
Even the design of the Emmy statuette was created to honor all the people involved in the Arts & Sciences in Television. Since the show debuted over 70 years ago, it has grown into a huge global pageant of glitz and glamour.
