The Hollywood Reporter led the nominations for the 19th National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards, with 96 nods—more than any other outlet and a record for the publication at these awards. Its nominations include best publication and best website, as well as two journalist of the year categories. Variety received 62 nominations, including recognition for its journalists, critics, cover stories, reporting, photography and profiles.
Among The Hollywood Reporter’s individual nominees, Steven Zeitchik is shortlisted for print journalist of the year and Carly Thomas for online journalist of the year. Daniel Fienberg, Angie Han and David Rooney are among its nominees for critic awards, while Scott Feinberg is in contention for radio or podcast host. The publication’s entries also span visual work and reporting, including photography, cover art, illustration and investigative journalism.
Variety’s nominees include Chris Willman for print journalist of the year and Ethan Shanfeld for online journalist of the year. Owen Gleiberman is recognised in film and music criticism, and Daniel D’Addario in theatre and performing arts criticism. Variety also highlighted several shortlisted cover stories, alongside reported features on subjects including the television industry and the Diddy trial. The Los Angeles Press Club is due to present the awards at a ceremony on 6 December at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.
The ceremony will be dedicated to Dolly Parton, who received the Press Club’s Public Service Award for Contributions to Civic Life in 2018. The organisation has also named KCRW presenter Madeleine Brand its 2026 Luminary Award recipient for career achievement, and singer, songwriter, author and human rights activist Brandi Carlile will receive a humanitarian honour. The reports describe the event and Carlile’s award using slightly different names: one calls it the Visionary Award for Humanitarian Work, while the other refers to a Humanitarian Award.
