Past winners include All in the Family, ER, Hidden Figures, black-ish, Encanto, Good Will Hunting, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Hacks, The Bernie Mac Show and NYPD Blue.
This year’s awards will be held Sept. 9 at Avalon Hollywood and hosted by writer-comedian Ashley Nicole Black. My So-Called Life creator and Wicked co-writer Winnie Holzman will receive the Kieser Award, which recognizes writers who have devoted their work to stories that celebrate common humanity.
