The 7th Emmy Awards, later referred to as the 7th Primetime Emmy Awards, were held on March 7, 1955 to honor the best in television of the year. The ceremony was held at the "Moulin Rouge Nightclub" in Hollywood, California. The ceremony, hosted by Steve Allen and broadcast on NBC, was the first Emmy Awards ceremony to be televised nationally. All nominations are listed, with winners in bold and series' networks are in parentheses.
New categories for this ceremony included awards for writing and directing, as well as one-time performances in anthology series, (not to be confused with the guest-acting awards that would be created years later). Studio One was the most successful show of the night, winning three awards.
