Emmy Awards


The Emmy Award, often referred to simply as the Emmy, is a television production award, similar in nature to the Peabody Awards but more focused on entertainment, and is considered the television equivalent to the Academy Awards (for film), Grammy Awards (for music) and Tony Awards (for stage). They are presented in various sectors of the television industry, including entertainment programming, news and documentary shows,
The 2010 Emmy nominations include nods for Archie Panjabi of 'The Good Wife' and Andre Braugher of 'Men of a Certain Age.' Only two other minorities were nominated in the top categories.

The Emmy awards have a lot of "Glee," but not much color.

A total of four minorities were nominated in the major categories of the 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards on Thursday, only one of them in one of the top four categories.

Lebanese actor Tony Shalhoub returned for the eighth consecutive year to be nominated for best actor in a comedy series for "Monk." The 56-year-old actor has won the same award three times (2003, 2005 and 2006).

Another Emmys mainstay, Andre Braugher, was nominated for best supporting actor for his role in "Men of a Certain Age." The African-American star has won two Emmys in the past, one for "Homicide: Life on the Street" in 1998 and for FX's "Thief" in 2006.
