Emmy Awards were given on January 25, 1949 for the first time. This ceremony was organized at the Hollywood Athletic Club. It is said that the name of the award “Emmy” was nothing but the feminization of the word “immy”. The word Emmy was a nickname referred to the tubes of image orthicon. These were common in almost all of the early television cameras. Shirley Dinsdale received the first Emmy in the very first Emmys awards ceremony. Presently a private company is making the trophies of Emmy Awards.
The trophy of the Emmy Awards is a statuette of a winged lady that is holding an atom. This statuette has also become almost synonymous to the TV Academies' aiming at supporting and elevating both, the art and science of television programs.
