      Emmy.
      Oscars are for theatrical [film] releases, Emmy's are for television and made-for-tv movies and miniseries, like Roots. And golden globes cover both tv and movie theaters. SAG may possibly cover both, also, but idk.
      ....And Cable ACE awards no longer exist, but would have only been for cable programming like dream on (hbo) or monk (usa), i think.

He was in my hometown for Christmas to visit family and came to our Key Club table in a book store to have some books he just purchased wrapped. I was too nervous to ask for an autograph but I said Hi and how nice it was to meet him and shook his hand. So handsome in person!
