It took a little patience and a lot of good humor to get the 2012 Humanitas Prize kudos handed out on Friday.
Technical difficulties, human error and the propensity of scribes to hog the microphone made for a three hour-plus affair at the Montage hotel in Bev Hills, where the luncheon ceremony was hosted by Bill Lawrence. When all was said and done, “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Rescue Me” and “Modern Family” claimed the top top series honors.
“Beasts of the Southern Wild” screenwriters Lucy Alibar and Benh Zeitlin took the org’s Sundance indie film award. James Solomon and Gregory Bernstein won for feature film for “The Conspirator.”
ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” (Stacy McKee) and FX’s “Rescue Me” (Denis Leary and Peter Tolan) tied for hourlong series category. ABC’s “Modern Family” (Abraham Higginbotham and Dan O’Shannon) won the half-hour heat. HBO’s “Cinema Verite” (David Seltzer) prevailed in the 90-minute telepic category.
