The Academy Award for Best Actress is an award presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ( AMPAS ) . It is given in honor of an actress who has delivered an outstanding performance in a leading role while working within the film industry . The award is traditionally presented by the previous year 's Best Actor winner . The 1st Academy Awards ceremony was held in 1929 with Janet Gaynor receiving the award for her roles in 7th Heaven , Street Angel , and Sunrise . Currently , nominees are determined by single transferable vote within the actors branch of AMPAS ; winners are selected by a plurality vote from the entire eligible voting members of the Academy . In the first three years of the awards , actresses were nominated as the best in their categories . At that time , all of their work during the qualifying period ( as many as three films , in some cases ) was listed after the award . However , during the 3rd ceremony held in 1930 , only one of those films was cited in each winner 's final award , even though each of the acting winners had two films following their names on the ballots . The following year , this unwieldy and confusing system was replaced by the current system in which an actress is nominated for a specific performance in a single film . Starting with the 9th ceremony held in 1937 , the category was officially limited to five nominations per year . One actress has been nominated posthumously , Jeanne Eagels . Since its inception , the award has been given to 76 actresses .

Dark Shadows originally aired from 1966 to 1971 and has aired in syndication for nearly 40 years . Curtis was responsible for the 1991 remake of Dark Shadows , which was canceled because of low ratings due to station pre-emptions concerning the Gulf War . For the general audience , Curtis is also known as the director and producer of the two epic 1980s miniseries The Winds of War and War and Remembrance , based on two novels by Herman Wouk , which follow the lives of two American families through the entirety of World War II .
Herman Wouk ( /woʊk/ WOHK ; May 27 , 1915 - May 17 , 2019 ) was an American author best known for historical fiction such as The Caine Mutiny ( 1951 ) which won the Pulitzer Prize . His other major works include The Winds of War and War and Remembrance , historical novels about World War II , and non-fiction such as This Is My God , an explanation of Judaism from a Modern Orthodox perspective , written for Jewish and non-Jewish audiences . His books have been translated into 27 languages . The Washington Post called Wouk , who cherished his privacy , the reclusive dean of American historical novelists . Historians , novelists , publishers , and critics who gathered at the Library of Congress in 1995 to mark Wouk 's 80th birthday described him as an American Tolstoy .
The Winds of War is a 1983 miniseries , directed and produced by Dan Curtis , that follows the book of the same name written by Herman Wouk . Just as in the book , in addition to the lives of the Henry and Jastrow families , much time in the miniseries is devoted to the major global events of this period . Adolf Hitler and the German General Staff , with the fictitious general Armin von Roon as a major character , is a prominent subplot of the miniseries . The Winds of War also includes segments of documentary footage , narrated by William Woodson , to explain major events and important characters . It was followed by a sequel , War and Remembrance , in 1988 , also based on a novel written by Wouk and also directed and produced by Curtis . With 140 million viewers of part or all of Winds of War , it was the most-watched miniseries at that time .
The Primetime Emmy Award is an American award bestowed by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences ( ATAS ) in recognition of excellence in American primetime television programming . First given out in 1949 , the award was originally referred to as simply the Emmy Awards until the first Daytime Emmy Award ceremony was held in 1974 and the word prime time was added to distinguish between the two . The Primetime Emmy Awards generally air in mid-September , on the Sunday before the official start of the fall television season . They are currently seen in rotation among the four major networks ( ABC , CBS , FOX , NBC ) . The ceremony is typically moved to late-August if it is broadcast by NBC ( such as in 2006 , 2010 , and 2014 ) , so that it does not conflict with NBC 's commitment to broadcasting Sunday-night NFL games ( due to another conflict , this time with the MTV Video Music Awards , the 2014 ceremony was also shifted to a Monday ) . However , the 2018 ceremony , broadcast by NBC , was moved back to September and aired on a Monday . They are considered television 's equivalent to the Academy Awards ( film ) , Grammy Awards ( music ) , and Tony Awards ( theater ) . The awards are divided into three categories : Primetime Emmy Awards , Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards , and Primetime Engineering Emmy Awards .
The Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Limited Series represents excellence in the category of limited series that are two or more episodes with a total running time of at least 150 minutes . The program must tell a complete , non-recurring story , and not have an ongoing storyline or main characters in subsequent seasons .
