The fifth annual ceremony of the Emmy Awards (before it was changed to the Primetime Emmy Awards) was held February 5, 1953 at the Hotel Statler in Los Angeles, I Love Lucy won Best Situation Comedy and Lucille Ball won Best Comedienne. Jimmy Durante won Best Comedian. Dragnet won Best Mystery, Action or Adventure Program and What's My Line? won Best Audience Participation, Quiz or Panel Program. Helen Hayes won Best Actress.
It's interesting to see how some things have changed, but others seem to haven't changed. I recognize very few of the shows nominated or the actors and actresses. Also, the presentations have changed. Helen Hayes won Best Actress, but appeared in only one movie in 1953: My Son John. Her movie is not mentioned in the Emmy program and imdb.com doesn't list her Emmy as a win for it. Weird.
