Troféu Imprensa

Troféu Imprensa (English: ''Press Trophy'') is an award presented annually by SBT, to honor the best Brazilian television productions, including telenovelas. Until 2014, it is claimed to be the "Oscar of Brazilian Television". Even though it is more in common with the Emmy Awards than the Academy Awards itself, the award presented a replica of the Oscar statuette up until 2017.

History

The Troféu Imprensa is the oldest Brazilian award and is regarded as one of the most prestigious in the country. Following the end of the São Paulo magazine ''TV'', Plácido transferred the rights to the Troféu Imprensa to presenter and businessman Silvio Santos. From 1970 up until the last ceremony until his death in 2024 (2022), Santos has been responsible for organizing, producing, and hosting the award, which is broadcast annually by SBT. On February 26, coinciding with Carnival Sunday, SBT registered the Troféu Imprensa for copyright protection. This move aimed to prevent copyright-related incidents that had occurred in previous productions.
