| Yay, Kelly! |
Last night the
Los Angeles Press Club held its 53rd Annual Southern California Journalism Awards at the ornately appointed Millennium Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. We know you have some burning questions: Did award presenter and
Mary Tyler Moore Show thespian
Ed Asner really ask KPCC personality
Patt Morrison if she would adjourn the stage so they could make love? Was Morrison aware of the massive, satellite-attracting head wear she had donned? Did
OC Weekly take any awards or honorable mentions?
The answers are a big fat yes, probably, and yes.

Aside from the occasional sighting of media-universe glitterati (
Chuck Henry!), the evening's main event, for us at
least, was the announcement that former
Weekly Art Director
Kelly Lewis took first place in the Design category for a paper with over 50,000
circulation. Lewis was honored for her layout of
Gustavo Arellano's March 2010 "Hot Licks" cover story about Offspring singer
Dexter Holland's hot-sauce business. Other honors went to staff
writer
Matt Coker who took second place in the Entertainment Feature
category for his "Douchebag Does Sundance" article.
Former staff
writer
Spencer Kornhaber was a finalist in the Personality Profile category for his article "Toil and Trouble," and the Weekly staff--especially web editor
Vickie
Chang--were finalists for the overall excellence of our website.
Congratulations to us--and to our friends from the
Colossus of Culver City, who earned several nods, most notably for
Patrick Range McDonald as Print Journalist of the Year.
