In Case You're Wondering Who Actually Gets to Keep That Emmy Award . . .

When The Handmaid's Tale won Sunday night's Emmy for outstanding drama, an army of women and men stood behind showrunner Bruce Miller as he delivered the acceptance speech. This kind of parade is the norm when ensemble shows score an award, but does each and every person on stage actually take home an Emmy?

According to the 69th Emmy Awards Rules & Procedures booklet, the Emmy(s) go to "producer(s) whose specific screen credit is Executive Producer, Co-Executive Producer, Supervising Producer, Producer or Produced by." For those who don't have that title, there's still hope. "Commemorative Emmy Awards can be ordered on behalf of the studio, production company, or network that was principally involved with the winning program or individual achievement," states the rulebook. "Commemorative Emmys cannot be ordered for individuals. (Generally, a total of three commemorative Emmys may be ordered per win.)"

So, no Emmys for individual actors, eh? Nope, these are more for show. "The intent of issuing commemorative Emmys is to give studios, production companies and networks the opportunity to display, in a corporate or public space, the Emmy Awards for programs that they produced or broadcast. All commemorative Emmy orders are subject to the approval of the Primetime Awards Committee."
