No, my mistake. it was an Emmy. Read the info at their website:

Quite an honor nonetheless, for hard work and dedication to an ideal. It's a shame few know that RCA had also won the Emmy for the three-gun CRT (1956) and a videotape cartridge design (1974). Remember, it was Americans who prepared the media onslaught, along with government apathy, that delivered the one-two punch ending thousands of manufacturing jobs we still haven't replaced today.

Even fewer people know of this amazing (for its time) device:
