Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance
|
The Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance is a creative arts Primetime Emmy that is awarded by a committee. There are no nominations and sometimes there are multiple recipients in one year, and other times there are none. Usually the winner is a voice actor on an animated show, but some narrators of live action shows have won.
Starting in 2004, each entrant is screened by a panel of Academy of Television Arts and Sciences members (from the Animation branch as well as members of the Acting branch with voiceover credits). Each entrant with majority approval goes on to a second panel. Emmy winners must be unanimous choices of this second panel, except that for every 12 persons or fraction thereof on the panel, one "no" vote is allowed, except from the head of the panel.
Various voice actors from The Simpsons have won a combined 12 Emmys. Of those, Hank Azaria and Dan Castellaneta have each won three, followed by Ja'Net DuBois, who has won two for her work on The PJs. Voice actors from shows on FOX have won 15 (The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Family Guy and The PJs).
