This Forgotten Hollywood site was awarded 3rd Place in the ENTERTAINMENT BLOG BY AN INDIVIDUAL. Congratulations to Sharon Waxman for her blog Waxword on The Wrap who won the trophy. 2nd Place was awarded to noted actor / blogger James Franco, who writes for the Huffington Post Media Group. As a Freelance blogger, I’m thrilled to receive immense national recognition.
A-List stars celebrated the career and charity work of the iconic Jane Fonda. Robert Redford and Jeff Daniels provided an entertaining narrative. Others on hand: Lily Tomlin, Melanie Griffith, and a co-star of Daniels and Fonda on HBO’s The Newsroom, Sam Waterston. The legendary actress received the inaugural Visionary Award for her professional and personal contributions to society.

CONGRATULATIONS to my dear friend Gary Lycan, and to all the award winners at tonight’s National Entertainment Journalism Awards gala! I echo the sentiments of the Los Angeles Press Club – Gary Lycan is one of the best Entertainment News Columnists in the nation! The judges observed: Gary Lycan, as he’s been doing for years, keeps Southland radio fans informed on what’s happening now and what’s happened to legends of the past.
