The first Primetime Emmy Awards were held on January 25, 1949 at the Hollywood Athletic Club. It was a Los Angeles-only affair, but the event quickly expanded as television sets began popping up in living rooms all across America. It took the Emmys nearly twenty years to sort through their category issues before they decided in 1966 on a split between "comedy" and "drama." For performers, there are four major categories: Best Actor/Actress in a Comedy, and Best Actor/Actress in a Drama. Who won the year you were born? That depends on how the Television Academy divvied up the awards. Even after they got their act together, they didn't necessarily get it right. Take a stroll through Emmy history with us, and decide for yourself!
