To win an Emmy Award is a spectacular achievement, a recognition that you are considered at the pinnacle of your profession by those that know your profession the best. With thousands of programs in competition for an Emmy Award, even making the list of nominees is a true accomplishment and worthy of a standing ovation. The tens of thousands of episodes of the thousands of Television Series and Specials have a crew that supports the finished product that is eventually viewed. Each Television Series or Special has a Makeup Department staffed by Professional Makeup Artists, it is these unseen Professionals that are integral parts of the finished productions. So much so that the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has multiple categories for which Primetime Emmy Awards are presented.
