The American television series Miami Vice received numerous accolades during its five seasons on the National Broadcasting Company between 1984 and 1990. Starring Philip Michael Thomas, Don Johnson and Edward James Olmos (pictured), the police procedural focuses on the lives of two undercover Metro-Dade police officers, Ricardo Tubbs (Thomas) and James "Sonny" Crockett (Johnson). Miami Vice's nominations include twenty at the Emmy Awards, seven at the Golden Globe Awards, two People's Choice Awards and two Grammy Awards. Although Thomas coined the phrase "EGOT" for his ambitions to win Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Awards, only Johnson and Olmos won acting awards for their work on the series, while composer Jan Hammer earned two Grammy awards for his composition for the show's opening credits, "Miami Vice Theme". Of a total of thirty-three nominations earned by the series, it went on to win ten awards. The series spawned several successful soundtrack albums, with both Miami Vice and Miami Vice II charting in several countries worldwide. (Full list...)
