ESPY Awards (short for Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Award) are considered the equivalent of Academy Awards for sports and are an accolade , to recognize individual and team athletic achievement and other sports-related performance during the calendar year preceding a given annual ceremony.
As the similarly styled Grammy (for music), Emmy (for television), Academy Award (for film), and Tony (for theater), the ESPYs are hosted by a contemporary celebrity; the style, though, is lighter, more relaxed and self-referential than many other awards shows, with comedic sketches usually included.
