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]

The soap opera holds the record for the most awards, winning on thirteen occasions (including Dunlap's wins), also The Bold and the Beautiful tied in 2011 with the soap, which was the first tie in this category.
