The 2009 Emmy Awards mark the 61st annual ceremony, which honors primetime TV productions. The Emmy Awards are to the television industry what the Academy Awards are to film, and what the Grammy Awards are to music. This year HBO took the most nominations, just one short of 100 at 99; NBC was next with 67; ABC had 55; CBS had 49; FOX had 42; Showtime had 29; AMC had 23; Comedy Central had 13; Bravo and FX had 11 each; and TNT had 10.

This year’s Emmy Awards will be held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on September 20th; CBS will broadcast the event live. DISH Network packages featuring local programming, available for just $5/month, provide access to great events such as the Emmy Awards.
