The British Academy Film Awards are presented in an annual award show hosted by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), as the British equivalent of the Oscars. The ceremony used to take place in April or May, but from 2002 onwards it takes place in February in order to precede the U.S. Academy Awards.
The David di Donatello Award (Italian: Ente David di Donatello), named after Donatello's David, is a film award presented each year for cinematic performances and production by L'accademia del Cinema Italiano (ACI) (English: The Academy of Italian Cinema). There are 24 categories as of 2006. Italy is also famed for its annual Venice Film Festival.
The Emmy Awards, considered as a TV equivalent to the Academy Awards for film in US, are presented by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS), the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) and the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in various sectors of the television industry including entertainment programming, news and documentary shows. Currently three annual ceremonies are held; for Primetime Emmy (since 1949), Daytime Emmy (since 1974) and International Emmy awards (since 1973).
