Emmy category (5)
I believe the answer is:
drama
'emmy category' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for drama that I've seen before include "Plays as a genre" , "Emotional sequence of events (made out of a crisis?)" , "Serious play" , "Series of events involving conflicting forces" , "Theatrical entertainment" .)
