mrrpmurphy: I cannot tell you how humbled, thrilled and surprised I was this morning when Gold Derby’s Chris Beachum dropped me a kind note congratulating me on sweeping the Gold Derby TV Decade Awards. Gold Derby voters were asked to vote for the best of television from 2010-2019. Shows I produced and directed won Best Limited Series, Best TV Movie, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress – a clean sweep (we also nabbed Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy). Making this even more meaningful to me is the fact that the last time this happened, it was my idol Mike Nichols whose productions of “Angels in America” and “Wit” dominated these awards in the 2000-2009 period. I am so thankful to all the Gold Derby voters, Tom O’Neil and my producers and writers and actors and directors who worked so hard to make these productions not just great but impactful. This decade has just flown by. I remember 2010 when it all started with “Glee.” I felt so new to the game then, winning anything with one project let alone several seemed like an impossible dream to me. Thanks to everyone again, and here’s to the next decade.
