He held the record for the most Emmy nominations (47), and won 18 times, putting him at the top of his profession throughout the 1960s, 1970s, and well into the 1980s. He also won the Directors Guild of America's top TV award five times, six Ace awards and a Peabody award. CareerHemion began working in live television in New York City in the 1950s, particularly for the original The Tonight Show starring Steve Allen.[1] In the 1960s, Hemion began concentrating on musical-variety shows, working with producer Gary Smith on a popular series of Kraft Music Hall specials for NBC-TV. Smith-Hemion Productions arguably defined the fast-paced look and glamorous style of the American comedy-variety genre, and influenced scores of later generations working in television. Hemion had a knack for balancing both visual and musical elements that made him a master of directing concert performance specials. He worked with such major stars as Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Barbra Streisand, Paul McCartney, Bette Midler, Shirley MacLaine, Julie Andrews, Elvis Presley, Burt Bacharach, The Muppets, and Luciano Pavarotti. He also won Emmys for directing the Kennedy Center Honors in 1989 and 1990. ProductionsAmong the most memorable specials that Hemion produced and directed were: My Name Is Barbra (1965), A Man and His Music (1965), Peter Pan (a 1976 version with a new score, not to be confused with the musical starring Mary Martin), Baryshnikov on Broadway (1980), and The Concert (1994). Along with producing partner Gary Smith, Hemion later branched out into producing large conventions, including the nomination conventions for the Democratic Party as well as the inaugural ceremonies for Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton.[2] DeathHemion died of renal failure in Rectortown, Virginia, at the age of 81.[3] References1. ^{{cite magazine |url=https://variety.com/2008/scene/markets-festivals/tv-producer-dwight-hemion-dies-1117980021/ |title=TV producer Dwight Hemion dies |magazine=Variety |date=February 1, 2008 |issn=0042-2738}} 2. ^{{cite news |url=http://articles.latimes.com/2008/feb/02/local/me-hemion2 |title=TV director known for his musical specials |first=Mary |last=Rourke |newspaper=Los Angeles Times |date=February 2, 2008}} 3. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/30/AR2008013003985.html |title=Dwight Hemion, 81; Producer Of Glamorous TV Specials |first=Adam |last=Bernstein |newspaper=The Washington Post |date=January 31, 2008}} External links
