Home Box Office swept the 14th annual CableAce Awards for cable television excellence with 32 honors, including a leading four for its comedy series "Dream On."The Disney Channel was second with seven awards, Showtime received five, and four each were collected by the Arts & Entertainment Network, ESPN and MTV.
Twenty-eight top awards were presented in nationally televised ceremonies Sunday night at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood. Comedian Lily Tomlin was the host.
Fifty-three awards in technical categories were handed out at a non-televised proceeding on Saturday in Los Angeles.
The CableAce Awards are selected by a panel of peers and presented by the National Academy of Cable Programming. Formerly called the ACEs (Awards for Cable Excellence), the awards were renamed this year to avoid a conflict with the American Cinema Editors, who have their own ACE Awards.
