DGA, Publicists and BAFTA awards updates
Notes from the day ...
-- Longtime Kennedy Center kudos producer Michael Stevens (right) will chair the 2013 DGA Awards, succeeding 17-year veteran of the event Howard Storm.
-- The 2013 Publicists Awards luncheon, presented by the International Cinematographers Guild, will take place on Feb 22., as usual two days before the Academy Awards.
This will be the 50th anniversary of the Publicist Awards, which have been chaired by Henri Bollinger for the past 31 years.
-- BAFTA has appointed its deputy chairman and TV exec John Willis as its new chairman, succeeding Tim Corrie, reports Diana Lodderhose of Variety. Corrie will now serve as deputy chairman.
A native of Los Angeles raised by two parents and "Hill Street Blues," Jon Weisman ankled his scriptwriting career and began working for Variety in 2004, subsequently serving as associate editor of features and television reporter before becoming awards editor. He promises not to use this platform to retroactively campaign for Oscars for “The Misfits,” though he’d feel justified in doing so.
