First, the historical origin of the Emmy Award
According to official records, the first Emmy Awards began in 1949. At that time, the Emmy was not called this, but called? Immy？ Translated into Chinese, it is the Emmy Award, which is named because it is an important part used by early theater cameras to shoot TV dramas. 1948, when the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced its decision to hold the first prize, the trophy was renamed Emmy Award, because it was full of women's yearning for freedom and romance. It can be seen that there is only one letter difference between Emmy Award and Immy, which is the feminine name of the word Immy, and this title has continued to this day. The source of the Emmy trophy was designed by mcmanus, a TV engineer at the American Academy of Television Arts at that time, and the prototype came from his own wife. As can be seen from the Emmy trophy, a graceful woman gave an angel wings and held an atom with open hands, so the woman represents the muse that is often said in the west, and the atom represents science. The Emmy trophy also symbolizes the perfect combination of art and science.
Second, the selection criteria and institutions
Friends who know better should know that at the Emmy Awards ceremony in 2008, it was Mad Men, a niche TV series, that won the best screenwriter and the best drama. Therefore, there is only one criterion for the selection of Emmy Awards: only look at quality, not quantity? . Generally speaking, the Emmy Awards are held around September every year, and the entries are TV dramas broadcast by American wireless and cable TV in the last year. Based on the principle of fairness and justice, the judges are all volunteer judges, including TV critics, actors and directors. All judges need to watch all TV programs in advance. The organizations holding the selection are mainly the American Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and the International Academy of Arts and Sciences.
