62nd Emmy Awards nominations

The first Emmy® Awards ceremony was held on January 25, 1949, at the Hollywood Athletic Club, and was devoted solely to programming that originated from Los Angeles, where the Television Academy was founded. Over time, the Emmys expanded to include programming aired throughout the United States.

Today, the Primetime Emmy® is a symbol of peer recognition from over 15,000 Television Academy members. Members from more than two-dozen peer groups vote for the category of competition in their field of expertise.

Official nominations for the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards were announced on May 12, 2010 followed by the official awards ceremony which aired live from Las Vegas on CBS on Sunday, June 27 at 9PM ET.

Last Thursday, July 9th, nominations have been announced live from the Leonard H. Goldenson Theatre. Most of the votes were for THE PACIFIC (24 nominations), GLEE (19 nominations) and MAD MEN (17 nominations).
