Emmy award

US television award, established in 1949, and given by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences at an annual awards ceremony to the best shows, actors, writers, directors, and creative technicians. So many awards are now given, that two ceremonies are held: the Prime-time Emmy Awards, a three-hour ceremony televised nationally, and the Daytime Emmy Awards.

The world Emmy comes from ‘immy’, an informal name for television's early image orthicon camera. The Emmy statuette depicts a winged woman who holds an atom; the wings represent the muse of art and the atom represents science.
