The inaugural The EDDYS was staged on July 8, 2017 at the Kia Theatre (now New Frontier Theatre) and was telecast on ABS-CBN. It was hosted by father and son Edu Manzano and Luis Manzano.[6]

In 2018, The EDDYS collaborated with Globe Studios as major presenter while the awards night was produced by FM station, Wish 107.5. For the first time, The EDDYS staged a Nominees Night on June 3, 2018 at Valencia Events Place in Quezon City. It was co-sponsored by the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP), headed by Chairman Liza Diño.[7]

The 2nd EDDYS was held at Theatre at Solaire in Parañaque City on July 9, 2018.[8] The show was directed by Paolo Valenciano and was hosted by siblings Ruffa Gutierrez and Raymond Gutierrez.

The third edition of the annual awards was held on July 14, 2019 at the New Frontier Theatre in Cubao Quezon City. The awarding ceremonies was telecast on Colours Channel. It was hosted by broadcast journalist and Rated K host Korina Sanchez with Lourd de Veyra as segment host.

In its 4th edition, EDDYS was supposed to introduce four additional categories to include local films that first premiered on streaming services like Netflix, iflix, iWant, and HOOQ. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, the awards night, which was slated on July 5 and to be hosted by Boy Abunda, was cancelled. [9]
