00:00The first Emmy Awards ceremony was held January 25, 1949.
00:10The party was thrown at the Hollywood Athletic Club and tickets cost only $5.
00:14Just six awards were handed out that night.
00:17The first one was given to ventriloquist Shirley Dinsdale for the Judy Splinter Show.
00:21The name for the awards ceremony comes from the word Emmy, an image tube in classic TVs.
00:26It was soon changed to Emmy because of the feminine award.
00:29There were 47 design proposals for the original statue, all of which were rejected.
00:34Louis McManus created the award we know today, a woman with wings holding an atom.
00:38His design was modeled off of his wife Dorothy and would continue to be the symbol for years to come.
00:43Statuettes cost $400 and take five and a half hours to create.
00:47Each golden lady is molded then coated in copper, nickel, silver and gold.
