Michael Schneider Variety Editor at LargeI’ve long banged the drum that television is better than film, yet even now, the TV industry still carries a bit of an inferiority complex.It’s why those of us who cover TV cringe at filmmakers who finally enter the episodic world — only to proclaim their series is actually a “10-episode movie.”It comes from decades of the small screen being seen as the stepping stone to true stardom and success in the movies.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at LargeThrough the years, there have been countless creators, producers, directors and actors who have gone without an Emmy Award.
