From the lips of the Humanitas Foundation to, um, God’s ears? (Well, ours anyway.)
by Team TVWriter™ Press Service
40 years ago, the Humanitas Prize was created to honor television and film writers “whose work explores the human experience in a way that both entertains and enlightens.” A worthy goal if ever there was one. This year, 31 writers, including some genuine Big Names, are finalists in eight interesting – and quite specialized – categories for the 40th annual Humanitas Prize. These writers are competing $90,000 in prize money to be handed out at the annual luncheon January 16 at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.
