Ellies 2008: More Highlights, Plenty of Champagne
The Ellies ceremony clocked in at a very reasonable one hour and fifty-five minutes. As you may already know, National Geographic was the big winner taking home three awards and causing final presenter David Willey to remark that ASME might have to paint the Ellie yellow. Other highlights included:
- Padma Lakshmi informing the audience that fiction could engender “fire in the loins” (though, perhaps no longer the writers themselves).
- David Remnick accepting the award for General Excellence, 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 circulation saying he’d “almost forgotten how to do this.”
