Acclaim short drama seen in 60 Minutes (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

honour

'acclaim' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'short drama seen in 60 minutes' is the wordplay.
'short' means to remove the last letter.
'drama' becomes 'noh' (Noh or No is a Japanese masked drama).
'seen in' indicates putting letters inside.
'60 minutes' becomes 'hour' (synonyms).
'noh' with its last letter taken away is 'no'.
'no' placed into 'hour' is 'HONOUR'.

(Other definitions for honour that I've seen before include "Deference or accolade." , "Integrity or outward symbol of distinction" , "prize" , "Reputation" , "Award conferred as a mark of respect" .)
