An introduction
What do the Emmys celebrate?
The Emmy Awards recognize achievement across television. Behind each familiar face is a wider creative team: performers, writers and directors share the awards landscape with cinematographers, editors, sound specialists and other craftspeople.
The Television Academy’s Creative Arts Emmys recognize many of those creative and technical disciplines. The full award record reaches well beyond the series and acting categories collected here. Explore the Academy’s category archive and its award programs.
One Emmy name. Several award traditions.
The Emmys are a family of awards serving different parts of television. The Primetime comedy ballots in this archive belong to one part of that wider picture.
