Don’t Look Up, Black-ish, Pachinko and more among 46th annual Humanitas Prize winners

The writers behind Adam McKay’s satire Don’t Look Up, ABC’s Black-ish, Apple TV+’s Pachinko and Disney’s Oscar-winning Encanto are among the winners of the 46th annual Humanitas Prizes.

According to Variety, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and hosted by comedian Larry Wilmore, the 46th annual Humanitas Prize event centered on awards and $10,000 cash prizes to screenwriters across ten categories.

In addition, Humanitas board president Jenny Bicks presented Filmmakers for Ukraine with the Kieser Award “in recognition of their work to connect the Ukrainian film and TV community impacted by the Russo-Ukrainian War with resources, jobs, and funding to meet basic needs.”

Other winners included Nanfu Wang for her documentary In the Same Breath, Matt Harris for writing the script for Ted Melfi’s The Starling starring Melissa McCarthy and Kevin Kline, and Marissa Jo Cerar for penning the ‘Mother and Son’ episode of ABC’s anthology series Women of the Movement.

The Humanitas Prizes event raises funds to support program and events initiatives, including the New Voices Fellowship and College Screenwriting Awards, which support underrepresented film and television writers through the early stages of their careers.
