Belinda Acosta Austin Chronicle After the debacle that was last year's Emmy Awards ceremony, the awards show recognizing excellence in prime-time TV came back with a gentle roar last Sunday. Dec 30, 2019 Full Review James Poniewozik TIME Magazine The Emmys, hosted with song and wit by Neil Patrick Harris, was the funniest and most entertaining TV awards-cast in recent memory. Dec 20, 2019 Full Review Sarah Hughes Guardian These weren't results you could quibble with, but they did carry more than a strong whiff of déjà vu. So strong in fact that it only served to highlight the biggest problem with the Emmys: the awards' voters are incredibly set in their ways. Dec 20, 2019 Full Review Josh Jackson Paste Magazine The other winners of the night were Neil Patrick Harris, who did more than a respectable job hosting, and Jimmy Fallon, whose AutoTuned awards presentation provided for the night's funniest moment. Rated: 7.7/10 Dec 20, 2019 Full Review Charlie Toft MTV Harris was predictably strong. His good-natured enthusiasm that never sounds phony is a perfect stance for an awards night. Dec 20, 2019 Full Review Curt Wagner RedEye A brisk, mostly entertaining show pulled along by Harris' unstoppable energy and obvious popularity with the audience at the Nokia Theatre in Hollywood.
