What are the Emmy Awards?

CAPTION: Fun fact: the Emmy statue is named “immy,” slang for the tube used in early TV cameras.

The Emmy Awards celebrate the year’s most outstanding work in television and emerging media. It’s like the Oscars for movies or the Grammys for music. 

The Emmys started in 1949 with just six categories. All nominees came from Los Angeles, and all programs had to be aired in LA. The 2022 Emmy Awards have 118 categories and a more international flavor. The nominees span primetime TV, daytime TV, news, sports, and documentary.

2022’s notable Emmy awards include Outstanding Drama Series, Comedy Series, Limited or Anthology Series, and Variety Talk Series. You’ll also see individual awards for Outstanding Actress and Actor, Director, Writer, and much more.

The 2022 Emmy Awards will take place in the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California on Monday, September 12 at 5:00 p.m. PT / 8:00 p.m. ET. Keenan Thompson from Saturday Night Live is this year’s host.

Its drama series Succession got an Emmy-leading 25 nominations. That includes a nomination for Outstanding Drama Series and 14 for acting. HBO’s Limited Series The White Lotus got 20 nominations, tied for second-most with my 2022 personal favorite, Apple TV+’s comedy Ted Lasso.

CAPTION: I’m pulling for Ted Lasso, but the 2022 comedy series nominees are all solid

Jason Sudeikis won the 2021 Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for his role as Ted Lasso. He was great in the show’s second season, but the early favorites for this year’s Emmys are Bill Hader for HBO’s Barry and Steve Martin for Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building. Hader got the most individual nominations, with 4, including Actor, Writer, and Director for Barry and Guest Actor for Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Netflix has already made Emmy’s history in 2022. Its breakout hit Squid Game is the first ever non-English-speaking Outstanding Drama Series nominee. Another great Emmys 2022 story is ABC’s Abbot Elementary creator and star Quinta Brunson becoming the youngest black woman in history nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.

CAPTION: Squid Game is up for 14 awards, including four for acting
