This season, the Emmy Awards celebrates its 75th Anniversary and the nominations were streamed live from the place it all began in 1949, the famed Hollywood Athletic Club.

That ceremony, which featured just five awards categories and $5 admission tickets, has evolved into a large scale ceremony available for viewing around the world.

Now, the Emmys celebrate the age of “peak TV” by highlighting close to 600 original scripted series, the nominations recognizing the importance of the performers, producers, writers, directors, craftspeople, and all those who worked on television programs in the past year.

There are more than 20,000 voting members of the Academy and this year’s nominations marked the highest voter participation in Emmy history.
