THR Leads, While Variety Is Nominated for 62 Arts and Entertainment Journalism Awards
Different nomination totals reported
The headline names Variety and says it is nominated for 62 Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards. The story itself reports that The Hollywood Reporter received 96 nominations for the National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards, a total it describes as higher than any other outlet’s.
The story calls the 96 nominations a record for THR at the awards. It says the publication is a finalist for best publication and best website, along with two journalist of the year honors. The conflicting outlet names and totals are not reconciled.
THR nominees across categories
Scott Feinberg is nominated for best anchor or host in the radio and podcast section. THR’s other nominations cover categories including cover art, photography, investigative stories and illustrations. The story also lists Gary Baum’s nomination for “Why UFC Boss Dana White Is the Most ‘Untouchable’ Whale in Vegas.”
Ceremony and special honors
Madeleine Brand of KCRW has been selected for the Los Angeles Press Club’s 2026 Luminary Award for Career Achievement. Brandi Carlile, described as a singer, songwriter, author and human rights activist, will receive the Visionary Award for Humanitarian Work.
