43rd Primetime Emmy Awards
The 43rd Primetime Emmy Awards were held on Sunday, August 25, 1991. The ceremony was broadcast on Fox from the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, California. The network TNT received its first major nomination at this ceremony.

For its ninth season, "Cheers" won Outstanding Comedy Series for the fourth time, tying "All in the Family"s record. "Cheers" spinoff "Frasier" would later break this record, ultimately winning five in a row. "Cheers" also received the most major nominations (10) and major awards (4) during the ceremony. The drama field also saw a four-time winner crowned as "L.A. Law" won Outstanding Drama Series for the fourth time in five years. This tied the record set by "Hill Street Blues" whose four wins came consecutively. James Earl Jones joined an exclusive club, as he won two acting Emmys for his work on two different series.

John Gielgud's win made him the fourth person to become an EGOT.
