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.
