The Hollywood Reporter says it leads arts journalism awards with 96 nominations
The outlet says its nomination count is a publication record. Variety reports 62 nominations, and winners are due to be announced in Los Angeles on Dec. 6.
The Hollywood Reporter said on Oct. 27 that it had received 96 nominations for the 19th National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards, more than any other outlet. The Los Angeles awards recognize arts and entertainment journalism, with winners scheduled to be announced on Dec. 6.
The Hollywood Reporter described the 96 nominations as its record at these awards. Its tally includes nominations for best publication and best website, alongside individual honors for its journalists, critics and contributors across print, online and broadcast categories.
Who is nominated at The Hollywood Reporter
Steven Zeitchik is nominated for print journalist of the year and Carly Thomas for online journalist of the year, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The outlet also named Daniel Fienberg, Angie Han and David Rooney among its nominees for critic awards in different categories.
Scott Feinberg is up for best anchor or host in the radio and podcast section, the outlet reported. Its nominations also span cover art, photography, investigative stories and illustration, showing that the tally extends beyond reporting and criticism to visual work.
How Variety’s 62 nominations compare
Variety separately reported 62 nominations. It named Chris Willman as a print journalist of the year nominee and Ethan Shanfeld as an online journalist of the year nominee. The two outlets reported their own totals, rather than independently verifying each other’s counts.
Variety said Owen Gleiberman was nominated for both film and music criticism, while Daniel D’Addario was nominated for theater and performing arts criticism. Those categories put their work alongside the broader range of journalism and criticism recognized by the awards.
Several Variety cover stories also reached the finalist stage, the outlet said, including covers featuring Jodie Foster, Jamie Lee Curtis, Miley Cyrus and Charlie Hunnam. Shanfeld’s account of the scene outside the Diddy trial was nominated in a music and performing arts industry feature category.
Variety reported that it won 20 prizes at the previous year’s awards. That figure describes an earlier result, while this year’s 62 nominations identify work still awaiting a decision from the judges.
When the journalism awards winners are announced
Both outlets place the awards ceremony on Dec. 6 at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles. Variety said Brandi Carlile will receive the Humanitarian Award there; The Hollywood Reporter said the ceremony will be dedicated to Dolly Parton, a past recipient of a Los Angeles Press Club public service award.
