Variety Nominated for 100 SoCal Journalism Awards, Including Four Nods for Journalist of the Year

A golden trophy sparkling in a spotlight, representing journalism awards.
  • Variety snagged 100 nominations.
  • Four journalists are up for top honors.
  • The vibe? Totally electric!

You won’t believe what we just heard! Variety, the big name in entertainment news, is making some serious waves. We’re talking HUGE news here.

They just snagged a massive 100 nominations. Yes, you read that right. One hundred! This is for the Los Angeles Press Club’s annual SoCal Journalism Awards. Pretty neat, huh? It’s a huge pat on the back for their incredible work during the 2025 calendar year.

And get this: four of their amazing journalists are up for ‘Journalist of the Year.’ Talk about a clean sweep! Daniel D’Addario is a finalist for print journalism (that’s for publications over 50,000 readers, by the way). Brian Steinberg got a nod for online journalist of the year. And Brent Lang and Chris Willman are also in the running. Big names, big talent.

The whole vibe around these awards feels electric, almost like a bright spotlight shining on truly great storytelling. You can practically see the vibrant energy buzzing around their newsroom right now. It’s a fantastic aesthetic for celebrating hard work!

Speaking of media pros making waves, remember how the ‘Morning Joe’ & ‘Squawk Box’ Hosts Took NBC Upfront Stage? That was another big media moment! It just goes to show how much goes on behind the scenes.

Sometimes, though, the media can create its own drama, like when ‘Media created this’: Rakul Preet Singh, Sara Ali Khan deny sidelining Wamiqa Gabbi. There’s always something happening!

But it’s not all serious headlines. Sometimes, it’s just about genuine connections, like Palak Tiwari celebrating her emotional bond with King. We love those Lukkhe vibes!

Our Take

We at BuzzMedia Times are seriously impressed. This isn’t just about awards. It’s about setting a really high bar for journalism. It shows that dedicated reporting still matters a lot. Variety has shown everyone how it’s done. They truly deliver stories that stick with you. Well played, team!
