The 57th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards were held Sunday, September 18, 2005, hosted by Ellen DeGeneres. The 2005 Primetime Emmy Awards show was broadcast on CBS.

The show, which aired three weeks after Hurricane Katrina hit, featured a mini-telethon for Habitat for Humanity and gave DeGeneres more opportunity to use the show to somberly remember the victims of the gulf Coast. The show featured tributes to the late ABC-TV anchor Peter Jennings presented by rival anchors Dan Rather and Tom Brokaw and to the late chat-show host Johnny Carson (who died January 2005). Also, the show featured Emmy Idol, five segments in which famous TV stars performed popular TV theme songs in a format like American Idol.
