Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

O'Neil fills a vital information gap regarding television's most prestigious award. His book is both a reference work (all winners and virtually all nominees are listed) and a history of the Emmys--and by extension, the TV Academies (the Los Angeles branch of which hands out the prime time awards, while the New York branch awards the daytime, news, sports, and international statuettes). His brief introduction makes a convincing case for the Emmys to be taken as seriously as the more ballyhooed Oscars, Grammys, and Tonys. Although lacking in the behind-the-scenes gossip that characterizes so many books on the Oscars, this volume offers even the most casual fan an excellent introduction to the way TV awards have evolved. An index would be most helpful for future editions of this valuable book.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's the best of 50 years of TV!, October 24, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Emmys (Paperback)
Great! All the winners are here plus nominees in top categories and year-by-year essays that give you all the Hollywood dirt and are fun to read. Best part: the HUGE trivia section in the back of the book is broken down into easy bits that make you an Emmy expert fast.

2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but lacking quite a bit, August 20, 2001

This review is from: The Emmys (Paperback)
You can see a list of most every nominee and winner of any TV award ever bestowed, including sports, news, and daytime Emmys. That much is certain. But what you can't find is anything close to a complete index. Apparently, only the "big" winners and nominees are listed in the index. Even if a performer was nominated for a writing award, you'll find only his or her performance nominations indexed.

It's a good bathroom or coffee table book, but if you hope to use this book for research, you'll end up creating your own crossreferences, so what's the use? The only reason to purchase this one is because there isn't an alternative.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE EMMYS deserves an AWARD, November 12, 2001
By 
"awardsguru" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Emmys (Paperback)
I really enjoy Tom O'Neil's other two books -- "Movie Awards" and "The Grammys" -- and now that I have "The Emmys," too, I'm THRILLED. All three books are full of really really interesting info, lists, trivia, photos, all that -- but JUICY DISH. WOW. Some of the stories he tells are OUTRAGEOUS! Hilarious! The best part: Every one of O'Neil's books is superbly written. They're a joy to read and full of laughs. I cannot recommend these books stronger to you guys. I'm addicted to them. Get all three -- you'll thank me. (...) Get these books and follow along
