The Ewwy Award (pronounced /ˈjuːwi/ or /ˈʔjuːwi/), also spelled EWwy, is a television production award created by Entertainment Weekly (EW) to honor worthy actors and series not nominated for the Primetime Emmys. Its logo and slogan ("We turn the Emmys upside down") refer the physical resemblance of "Ewwy" to "Emmy"; in addition, the statuette portrays a ewe.

The Ewwy is awarded in ten categories and no person nominated for an equivalent Primetime Emmy is eligible. Votes and nominations are cast online by anyone who chooses to participate. The categories are: Best Drama Series; Best Comedy Series; Best Actor in a Drama Series; Best Actor in a Comedy Series; Best Actress in a Drama Series; Best Actress in a Comedy Series; Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series; Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series; Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series; and Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.
