For most of us, the closest we have gotten to an award show is sitting in front of the television watching it in our living room. With our eyes glued to the screen, we feel like we are really part of the experience. We’re the ones commenting and remarking the dresses on the red carpet, and waiting in anticipating for the winners to be announced. We dive deep into the experience that we feel like we are there. In reality, it’s a whole other world at these award shows and we will never actually know what it’s like unless we experience it for ourselves. Fortunately for you, we have the inside scoop on all award shows right here!

Origin Of The Emmys
In the late 40’s the founder of the Emmy Awards show, Syd Cassyd suggested “Ike,” but the television academy was afraid this would remind people of the WWII Hero Dwight Eisenhower, and thus would involve politics too much. However, then the word “Immy” was thrown out, which is a name for a piece of TV technology. The team decided to morph this into “Emmy,” which corresponded with the feminine statuette.
