  • Why we think this news is a big deal!

You won’t believe what just happened! We just heard some truly fantastic news that got us all cheering at BuzzMedia.

Variety, the big name we all know for entertainment news, totally swept the floor. They bagged a massive 16 first-place awards at the Southern California Journalism Awards. Yep, sixteen!

It was the 68th year for these awards, and Variety showed up big time. Their critics really nailed it. We love seeing such dedication get recognized.

Think about the pure vibe of great writing. It’s like a vibrant painting, sharp and clear. Jem Aswad, Variety’s music chief, took home an award for his music criticism. Can you imagine the passion in those words?

Owen Gleiberman also won for his film criticism, especially for pieces under 1,000 words. Getting your point across in a short, powerful way? That’s true skill. And Aramide Tinubu grabbed a win for her TV criticism too.

It’s like when Sylvia Rhone dropped that truth bomb about making the algorithm – these critics are shaping how we see stories! So many wins for such talented people. It really makes you appreciate the art of good journalism, right? It’s not just reporting; it’s an art.

Our Take

We think this is huge for Variety. It shows that honest, sharp criticism really matters. It’s inspiring to see so much talent celebrated. Cheers to them!
