AND SO ON...The prime-time Emmy awards have yet to air on CBS, but Showtime already has big plans for the 54th ceremony. The pay network hopes to shake up next year's best movie category with The Believer, a Grand Jury Prize winner at this year's Sundance Film Festival that stars Ryan Gosling (Remember the Titans) as an orthodox Jew-turned-neo-Nazi. The TV Academy recently clarified its rules to allow submission of films initially intended for theatrical release, as The Believer was before Showtime snapped it up earlier this year. Originally set to debut this month (but postponed because of the terrorist attacks), the film will now air in March. "Emmys are about awarding excellence on television," posits Showtime programming president Jerry Offsay. "People don't care what the source was or who initiated the programs they watched."
