The Hollywood Reporter was named best entertainment publication at the 15th annual National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards, which were handed out at a gala Sunday night at the Sheraton Universal Hotel in Universal City.
THR landed several other big wins during the night, including best columnist for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, best anchor/host for Lesley Goldberg and Daniel Fienberg, and best multimedia package for its Sustainability Issue.
Also at the ceremony, the Los Angeles Press Club handed out several honorary awards. Byron Allen received the Impact Award for contributions to culture and society, Ryan Seacrest accepted the Luminary Award for career achievement, and Marla Gibbs was honored with the Legend Award for lifetime achievement and contributions to society. The Distinguished Storyteller Awards, for excellence in storytelling outside of journalism, were presented to Walt Disney Animation Studios chief creative officer Jennifer Lee (film) and Tanya Tucker (music).
In addition, the Press Club paid tribute to Angela Lansbury, who died in October, with a video retrospective of her roles and footage of her appearance at the 2016 NAEJ Awards.
