About The 2022 Emmy Awards

The Emmy Awards are presented every year by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences representing the very highest level of achievement in prime-time television. This year, the Emmys have shifted formats somewhat as compared to years past. There will still be separate ceremonies for primetime and daytime Emmys, but the scope of the ceremonies will focus less on strict time of day of the broadcast for shows, and more on thematic and stylistic elements of the shows themselves.

This year’s Emmys ceremony highlights the success of streaming services in the television market. Every award category features several shows that are exclusively available via streaming. Some categories are made up entirely of streaming shows or performers from streaming series.

This is the first year that the Emmy Awards will be streamed live on Peacock simultaneously with the linear TV broadcast.
