Bet you never heard of this award show, the ICG Publicists Awards. Well, you should care about them, even just a little bit, because this is the award show that recognizes all the people behind the publicity and promotion of your favorite TV shows and movies. Hey, someone in Anchorage knows about Grey's Anatomy and people in Peoria are going to see the Oscar-nominated "The Queen" because of the efforts of entertainment industry publicists.
Jimmy Kimmel hosted the 44th Annual Publicists Awards show last week at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Over 1,000 people attended. Will Ferrell presented the Motion Picture Showmanship Award to Sony Pictures Entertainment Chairman and CEO Michael Lynton and Co-Chairman Amy Pascal. Julia Louis-Dreyfus presented Nina Tassler, President of CBS Entertainment with the Television Showman of the Year award.
