LA Press Club's 2nd Annual National Entertainment Journalism Awards
I just got a note than Shawn Edwards and have Russ Simmons won Best TV Film Critic, the second year in the row the the pair have been honored as Best TV Film Critics.
This is the only winner I know of, as the awards winners, given out last night, have not been announced anywhere I can find on the web, including the LAPC website.
In any case, this win made me curious about who was in the running...

I wonder how many people enter this contest. Like most associations, they charge a fee just so you can enter. But unlike most, there's no prestige (yet) tied to a win.

Way to go, LYT!

TMJ: Well, gee, how much is the fee?
Posted by: Joe Leydon at March 28, 2009 06:29 PM
Fee was $30 per entry, I think (which is half what the big Press Club awards cost). I didn't even get top three, but at least the food and drinks were free (some truly odd Russian beers, for some reason), and Shawn Edwards wasn't top 3 in my category either, so maybe he didn't do better.
Tom Tangney won in my category, and he was so excited and happy that there was no way I or anyone else could feel too bad about it. Real nice guy.
