The Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series Directing Team is an award presented annually by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) and Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS). It was first awarded at the 1st Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony, held in 1974 when the award was originally called Outstanding Individual Director for a Drama Series. Therefore, between 1974 and 1978; the award only honored individual directors.^[1][2] In 1979, the award was renamed Outstanding Direction for a Drama Series before using its current title years later.^[3] Since then, the award has honored the performances of the entire directing team participating in a form of a daytime drama.^[1] The awards ceremony was not aired on television in 1983 and 1984, having been criticized for lack of integrity.^[4][5] The Emmy was named after an "Immy," an affectionate term used to refer to the image orthicon camera tube.^[3] The statuette was designed by Louis McManus, who modeled the award after his wife, Dorothy.^[3] The Emmy statuette is fifteen inches tall from base to tip, weighs five pounds and is composed of iron, pewter, zinc and gold.^[3]
