Congratulations to the National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Nominees

The nominations for the the Los Angeles Press Club's 13th annual National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards have been announced and some of the nominees are people you definitely read if you're into films and awards. There are many categories so several journalists are double, triple, or quadruple nominated, in that they're honored for their overall work and then for specific articles or podcasts  or whatnot.  Like any awards body the Press Club mostly only honors very high profile work so if you look at the nominees you'll notice that The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Hollywood Reporter (33 nominations), and Variety (99 nominations) are all over the place. 

Congratulations to all the nominees! We've shared six categories that we think might interest you most after the jump... 

Journalist of the Year

  • Kyle Buchanan, The New York Times
  • Makeda Easter, Los Angeles Times
  • Amy Kaufman, Los Angeles Times
  • Benjamin Mullin, The Wall Street Journal
  • Chris Willman, Variety 

Journalist of the Year - Online 

  • Jem Aswad, Variety
  • Scott Feinberg, Hollywood Reporter
  • Tim Teeman, Daily Beast
  • Elizabeth Wagmeister, Variety
  • Sharon Waxman, The Wrap

Tim Teeman won this award last year and is nominated again.

Film Critic

  • Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
  • Owen Gleiberman, Variety
  • Angie Han, Mashable
  • Eric Kohn, IndieWire
  • Sheri Linden, Hollywood Reporter

Yay, Justin! His writing is so wonderful and he was a guest on the Smackdown during our recently completed supersized lockdown season. As far as we can tell this is only the fourth year of this category (before that all critics were lumped into one cateegory and only nominated for a specific article (?). In the three previous years of this award Justin has won twice and Gleiberman once. 

TV Critic

  • Lorraine Ali, Los Angeles Times
  • Daniel D'Addario, Variety
  • Caroline Framke, Variety
  • Inhoo Kang, The Hollywood Reporter
  • Ben Travers, IndieWire

And because we love "personality profiles" which are an artform in and of themselves, here are the nominees in that category...

Personality Profile, Film, Under 2500 Words 

Personality Profile, Film, Over 2500 Words

P.S. There's also a category called Movie Industry Feature Over 1000 Words and one of the nominees is the excellent "Mad Max Fury Road: The Oral History of a Modern Action Classic" by Kyle Buchanan and the announcement came very recently that it's going to be a whole book and Kyle has already written it. It's going to come out sometime this fall...

 

 

Cannot wait. Kyle won this same category last year for the article "How Will the Movies (As We Know Them) Survive the Next Ten Years"?

Nathaniel, thank you so much for this fascinating piece. As an awards junkie, I'm brimming with shame for not knowing about this specific journalism honor. What a wonderful opportunity to single out such great work in this field.

I agree with you about Justin. His writing is consistently brilliant. His piece on Green Book several years ago was the definitive argument about that more than a little problematic movie.

Good luck to all the nominees!

Never heard of any of the people

Claudio was robbed!

Kyle Buchanan made a career out of predicting the most obvious winners the loudest.

Justice for Claudio!!!!!

February 16, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterMarta

Guess Bakalova wouldn't be the biggest snub this season. Your work speaks for itself Claudio, screw awards.

February 16, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterJulio

Adam -- well, he's also a damn good writer.

February 16, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterNATHANIEL R

I feel he lacks any depth and now that people have pointed out the snub of your very own superstar Claudio it's extra egregious.

The entertainment industry is developing very rapidly today. It is very important to find your target audience and create high-quality and interesting content, taking into account the abundance of entertainment. I've researched this topic and looked at a bunch of resources, including https://samploon.com/free-essays/entertainment/ for a better understanding. This resource for students has a lot of interesting free articles on any topic. To my mind, it's a kind of interesting job to observe the entertainment sphere. Such competitions make to be better and more professional. I hope that I can become a good journalist in the future, so now I try to do my best.
