The Primetime Emmy Award is an American accolade bestowed by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in recognition of excellence in American primetime television  programming. First given in 1949, the award was originally referred to as simply the "Emmy Awards" until the first Daytime Emmy Award ceremonies were held in the 1970s, and the word "primetime" was added to distinguish between the two. Emmys are considered the television equivalent to the Academy Awards (for film), Grammy Awards (for music) and Tony Awards (for stage).

The 66th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, will be held on Monday, August 25, 2014 at the Nokia Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles, California, and will be hosted by Seth Meyers of NBC's "Saturday Night Live". The 66th Creative Arts Awards ceremony will be held on Saturday, August 16, 2014.
