Joan Rivers Quotes

The Emmys are flat-out fun.

Ultimately the Emmys are a popularity contest.

The Emmys is great, but the Golden Globes, you have the stars of television and the stars of movies in one place.

The Emmys seem like an entity unto themselves that have an agenda that sometimes corresponds to quality, sometimes doesn't.

I'm most excited to meet Jon Hamm at the Emmys.

The Emmys are in good hands with Andy Samberg. Disgusting, dirty hands.

I had been watching the Emmys since I was probably 5 years old. Those shows, when you're a kid, it all seems like such a big, big deal, and only special certain people would win one of these big things like a Tony or an Emmy or an Oscar.

I was at the Emmys, and someone told me that I'd gotten more applause than Brad Pitt. I said, 'Who's he?'

I've watched the Emmys for almost my whole life, so it was crazy to finally be there in the audience clapping and actually going on stage. Hopefully one day I'll get to be actually nominated.

For any of you who don't know, the Golden Globes are just like the Oscars, but without all that esteem. The Golden Globes are to the Oscars what Kim Kardashian is to Kate Middleton. A bit louder, a bit trashier, a bit drunker, and more easily bought.

I don't know why I don't watch the Oscars. It's not bitterness or anything; it just seems weird.

Generally with the Oscars or the Emmys there isn't much you can do until the nominations are announced. Then you know what kind of year you're dealing with - what's been overlooked, what the issues are.

I mean, the competition is really created by the buzz around the Emmys. It's a totally subjective thing.

Are you kidding? This is crazy, man. I thought I was Mr. Pre-Televised awards.

Well, certainly at the Golden Globes, during every commercial break everyone gets up and schmoozes with each other.

I honestly never really watch the Emmys.

Television is a huge industry, and actors down south are aware of it.

I've always been a fan of the VMAs, and I've always worked hard just to get a ticket to go to the VMAs.

It's great to be up for 'Best Newcomer' and 'Sexiest Male.'

The Academy Awards for people in Hollywood is like the Super Bowl, the presidential inauguration and winning the NBA championship rolled up into one.

It was pop culture, entertainment, Hollywood, award shows - these are the things that really captivated me as a kid. I would watch the Oscars and every award show with my parents. I would make lists of who was going to win.

The (Academy Award) ceremonies are a two-hour meat parade, a public display with contrived suspense for economic reasons.

I didn't watch the Emmys because - well, for one, I have been to awards shows, and I understand how it works. For another, sour grapes. Actually, that's probably number one.

[Preparing for award shows] gets insane. The dress, the hair, the makeup...I end up always picking the dress at the last second.
