But in the midst of the red carpets and the awards races, it can be easy to forget why the industry actually does this - what the whole point of an expensive awards ceremony for TV actually is. So in this Squiz Shortcut, we'll take a look at how the Emmys became the biggest awards ceremony for television, why winning one is such a big deal, and who's in the running this year…
Squiz Recommends:
Watching: Front runners The Pitt, Hacks and Widow’s Bay
Watching/Perusing: You can watch this year’s ceremony on Binge from 10am AEST on Tuesday 15 September. And here’s a guide to all of the nominees.

Squiz Recommends:

Reading: And this piece from the ABC is an interesting read where the reporter tries to outsmart the algorithm - without success…
