What is an Emmy?

The Emmy Award was founded by the American Academy of Television Arts in 1948. As the most authoritative award in the field of American radio and television, awards are given to outstanding TV programs and enterprises, groups and individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the development of new technologies every year. Emmy Award is recognized as "Oscar Award in the world radio and television field".

Emmy Award, Grammy Award, Oscar Award and Tony Award (drama) are also called the four major awards of American art.

"Emmy Award" is mainly an award set by the United States for domestic TV programs. The first award was made in 1949, which consists of two parts. What we usually call "Emmy Award" refers to the prime-time program "Emmy Award", which is awarded by the Los Angeles-based Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. There is also a daytime program "Emmy Award", which is awarded by the new york-based National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

The International Emmy Award is another important part of the Emmy Award. The criteria for participating in the election must be TV programs produced outside the United States. The TV programs nominated by the "International Emmy Award" should be no less than 30 minutes, which are divided into six categories: TV series, documentaries, art documentaries, pop art, art performances and children's programs.
