The Emmy Awards, or Emmys, are an extensive range of awards for artistic and technical merit for the television industry. A number of annual Emmy Award ceremonies are held throughout the year, each with their own set of rules and award categories. The two events that receive the most media coverage are the Primetime Emmy Awards and the Daytime Emmy Awards, which recognize outstanding work in American primetime and daytime entertainment programming, respectively.

In addition, the International Emmy Awards honor excellence in TV programming produced and initially aired outside the United States.

Since the category change in 1989, a total of 34 actresses were awarded for their performances.
