To the staff:
It’s a pleasure to report that Kenny Turan has been honored with the Los Angeles Press Club’s Luminary Award for Career Achievement.
In recognizing Kenny at the 6th Annual National Entertainment Journalism Awards last night, the Press Club cited “his insightful and influential movie reviews” that readers in L.A. and across the country have come to depend on.
“Turan has made a career of being bold and willing to go against the grain,” the Press Club’s Jane Engle wrote in the program notes. She added that Kenny “especially champions lesser-known, accomplished movies that can get lost amid Hollywood’s blockbuster mania.”
Kenny has been a mainstay of The Times’ cultural coverage since he joined the paper in 1990. Previously, he was a staff writer for the Washington Post and TV Guide. He is a graduate of Swarthmore College and Columbia University’s graduate school of journalism.
Please join me in congratulating him on this richly deserved honor.
