As the Emmy Awards celebrated 75 illustrious years, the Television Academy made the decision to give the iconic statuette an update, honouring its timeless significance. Drawing inspiration from Halley's Comet, which graces us with its presence once every 75 years, the enhanced statuette pays homage to the realms of art, history, and talent.
Talking about the unveiling of the new statuette ahead of the 75th Emmy Awards, Television Academy President and CEO Maury McIntyre said “We were trying to find a way to honour the historic nature of the anniversary. Emmy is all about celebrating excellence, and it has been for three-quarters of a century. Those standards really haven’t changed significantly regardless of what era the greatest medium on Earth has been in. In that spirit, we didn’t want to veer too far with Emmy herself.”
Tune into Lionsgate Play on September 19 to watch Television’s most glamorous night unfold at the 75th Emmy Awards.
