Emmy Awards
艾美奖

An Emmy Award, or simply Emmy, recognizes excellence in the television industry, and corresponds to the Academy Award (for film), the Tony Award (for theatre), and the Grammy Award (for music). Because Emmy Awards are given in various sectors of the American television industry, they are presented in different annual ceremonies held throughout the year. The two events that receive the most media coverage are the Primetime Emmys and the Daytime Emmys, which recognize outstanding work in American primetime and daytime entertainment programming, respectively. Other notable Emmy Award ceremonies are those honoring national sports programming, national news and documentary shows, national business and financial reporting, and technological and engineering achievements in television.
艾美奖是美国一项用于表彰电视行业杰出人士和节目的奖项，其地位与电影界的奥斯卡金像奖、音乐界的格莱美奖以及戏剧界的托尼奖同等重要。艾美奖需要表彰电视行业的不同领域，因此会在每年的不同时期举办不同领域的年度颁奖仪式。其中备受媒体关注的是黄金时段艾美奖和日间时段艾美奖，它们分别表彰美国电视黄金时段和日间时段的优秀节目。而其他的艾美奖还包括对全国性体育节目、全国性新闻及纪录片节目和全国商业及财经节目的表彰，以及对电视行业在技术和工程方面成就的奖励。

The Emmy statuette, depicting a winged woman holding an atom, was designed by television engineer Louis McManus, who used his wife as the model. The TV Academy rejected a total of forty-seven proposals before settling on McManus' design in 1948. The statuette has since become the symbol of the TV Academy's goal of supporting and uplifting the art and science of television: The wings represent the muse of art; the atom the electron of science. The highly acclaimed drama Mad Man , the late-night sketch comedy Saturday Night Live , the comedy 30 Rock and the political drama The West Wing are all frequent winners of this award.
艾美奖奖杯的样子是一个长着翅膀的女人举着一颗原子，它由电视工程师路易·麦克马纳斯以他的妻子为原型设计。1948年美国电视学院排除47个设计方案后，最终决定采用麦克马纳斯的设计代表美国电视学院支持鼓励电视艺术和科技发展的决心：翅膀代表艺术女神缪斯，原子代表电子科学。饱受美誉的电视剧《广告狂人》、夜间综艺节目《周六夜现场》、喜剧《我为喜剧狂》和政治题材剧《白宫风云》都是艾美奖的大赢家。
