13 Pictures Of The 2022 Emmy Award Winners In Their First Significant Roles And The Categories They Won In

by Maryjane

The American and international television industries are recognized for artistic and technical excellence through the Emmy Awards, or Emmys. Throughout the course of the year, a number of annual Emmy Award ceremonies are conducted, each with its own set of regulations and award categories.

The Primetime Emmy Awards and the Daytime Emmy Awards, which honor excellent work in American primetime and daytime entertainment television, are the two events that draw the most media attention. In order to recognize programs on broadcast television across the country, the ATAS expanded the Emmys into a national ceremony in the 1950s.

And in order to serve its members on the East Coast, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) was established in New York City in 1955. In present times, we’ve watched and seen different stars emerge as Emmy winners.

Sheryl Lee Ralph, for example, has been in the industry since the 1970s, although she didn’t receive her first Emmy until 2022. There’s Quinta Brunson, who won Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series, and there’s Lee Jung-jae, who won Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his role as Gi-hun in Squid Game.

There are so many of them, and we’ve put together a list of the then and now 2022 Emmy winners, so keep scrolling and enjoy.
