Television Eligibility:

1, 1999 and December 31, 1999.

Programs originally exhibited in motion
picture theaters, or initially sold or rented for
viewing on home video equipment, are not eligi¬
ble for awards in the television categories.
The definition of a regular
drama series is a minimum of three

comedy or
original pro¬
grams that aired during the awards year. The
theme, story line or principal characters must be
predominantly featured in multiple episodes. The
series must be presented under the same tide and
each program must be related to the others. A se¬
ries must have a continuity of executive supervi¬
sion and/or production personnel so that it is
thought of as a whole rather than individual parts.
To be eligible, the cinematographer must have
completed at least two episodes out of the
entire series,

created and aired in the calendar

period. A group of programs that carry a main
tide (e.g. "tent" or "umbrella") but are, in fact,
composed of various sub-units, will not be consid¬
ered eligible as "a series."
The criteria for eligiblity in the mini-series,
movie-of-the-week or pilot category is as follows:
A mini-series consists of two or more origi¬
nal programs based on a single theme, storyline or
principal characters that tell one story with a be¬
ginning, a middle and an end. The mini-series
must have aired
during the awards year and may
not be
eligible for consideration in any other year.
The episodes must be presented under the same
tide with
