Live Tweets And Results From The National Magazine Awards
Here is a full list of results from last night’s National Magazine Awards and just below you can find a blow-by blow Tweet account (ie. Martha Stewart’s very high shoes, Brooke Shields very green dress, David Remnick’s very pink tie) from last night’s big event at Alice Tully Hall at the Lincoln Center (more than a few people, by the way, aimed for the Time Warner center by mistake, where it has been held in recent years past).
A couple of highlights. After last year’s “annus horribilis” (more than one editor congratulated the room on surviving 2009) last night felt like a return to better and more familiar times. Also very familiar faces. New York, an Ellie favorite, walked away with the most awards of the evening (four). The New Yorker snagged three, losing out to Men’s Health in the General Excellence category, much to editor Dave Zinzenko’s obvious (and funny) enjoyment. The big winner of the night, however, was Glamour, which snapped up the brand new Magazine of the Year that awards both print and digital efforts. In her acceptance speech editor Cindi Leive noted how nice it was to seen women’s magazines recognized in the top categories.
