The 2024 Emmy Awards took place on September 15 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, honouring the best in American prime-time television programming from June 1, 2023, until May 31, 2024. The 76th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards were held on September 7 and 8 at the Peacock Theater. The ceremony was broadcast on ABC and was the second Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony in 2024, following the 75th ceremony’s delay due to Hollywood labour disputes. The ceremony was produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment and hosted by Eugene Levy and Dan Levy. The Emmys are a prestigious honour for the best in American television programming.
About The Emmy Awards
- The esteemed Emmy Awards are presented to television and new media performers, not motion pictures. They were first presented in 1948 and include six categories, such as Most Outstanding Television Personality and Most Popular Television Program.
- The Television Academy, National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, and International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences are the three sibling organisations that present the awards.
- The National Academy is in charge of daytime, sports, news, and documentary categories; the Television Academy is in charge of the Primetime Emmy Awards. The International Emmys are overseen by the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
- Television professionals who are members of each organisation cast votes to choose the winner of each award. The beginning “Immy” was a moniker for the image-orthicon camera tube; the term “Emmy” relates to the prize.
- The name was then changed to “Emmy,” which is more feminine given the prize statuette’s winged representation of the “muse of art uplifting the electron of science.”
