Variety's OwenGleiberman picked up an entertainment journalist of the year honor and a first-place prize for film criticism at last night's LAPressClub SoCal Journalism Awards
Saturday night, including an entertainment journalist of the year honor for film critic Owen Gleiberman, repeating his win in that top category from two years ago.
Of Gleiberman’s win for entertainment journalist, the judges said, “Owen Gleiberman’s perceptive movie reviews, coupled with his profiles of filmmakers and actors such as the late Chadwick Boseman and his insights on the pandemic’s effects on movie theaters, makes for compelling reading and understanding. Gleiberman is, indeed, the Entertainment Journalist of the Year.
Senior entertainment writer Angelique Jackson scored a first-place trophy for her article “Man of Action: Tyler Perry on Producing During the Pandemic and why He’s Weighing In on Politics” in the film/TV personality profile category. The judges said: “‘Man of Action’ is a work of art — well written and informative throughout. The multiple sources cited grows the audience’s interest, but does not distract from the main story line. Well-formed for a compelling story that reads like a novella.
Executive editor Ramin Setoodeh won in the online lifestyle feature category for his article “Barneys, Fabulous Department Store for Movie Stars, Closes at 97.” “When something is deeply felt, researched and experienced, the writing shines and compels the reader to experience it,” the judges wrote. “This is what lifestyle writing should be.”
