Emmy Award

The Emmy Awards are US television production awards, similar to the Peabody Awards but more focused on entertainment. There are two types of Emmy Awards, the Daytime Awards and the Primetime Awards. The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences administers the Daytime Awards, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is responsible for the Primetime Awards.
