- Variety amassed 62 nominations for the Los Angeles Press Club’s 19th annual National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards.
- Chris Willman was nominated for Print Journalist of the Year, music critic, online columnist of the year, print columnist of the year and a headline award.
- Ethan Shanfeld was nominated for Online Journalist of the Year, tied to an organization, plus the “Baywatch” casting-call feature and his investigation into the Diddy trial “circus.”
- Owen Gleiberman received nominations for film critic and music critic.
- Variety placed four cover stories among the finalists: Daniel D’Addario’s Jodie Foster and Charlie Hunnam covers, Trish Deitch’s Jamie Lee Curtis cover and Ethan Shanfeld’s Miley Cyrus cover.
- Daniel Doperalski was nominated for portrait photography for Variety’s “KPop Demon Hunters” cover.
- Brandi Carlile will receive the Humanitarian Award when winners are revealed Dec. 6 at the Biltmore Hotel; Variety won 20 prizes at the previous awards.
Why it matters: Variety’s 62 nominations give its writers and the publication visibility across criticism, reporting, photography and industry analysis before the Dec. 6 ceremony. The 20 prizes won last year add the key benchmark, showing this slate extends an already strong awards record rather than representing a first return to the finalists.
