Spotlight Falls on Davies & Pratchett at Writers' Guild Awards 2009Notizia pubblicata in rete il 29/11/2009 20:00, tempo medio di lettura previsto 3 minuti e 19 secondiLONDON, November 29 /PRNewswire/ -- The Writers' Guild of Great Britain tonight announced the winners of the 13 awards made annually for outstanding script writing in the UK. This year the spotlight fell on Andrew Davies, the master of UK TV adaptations, who won recognition for Lifetime Achievement and Sir Terry Pratchett, best-selling creator of Discworld, who was honoured for his Outstanding Contribution to Children's Writing. These prestigious annual awards recognise talented UK scriptwriters across a range of disciplines including TV, theatre, film, radio and video games. Presented during a reception this evening (29 November 2009) at London's new Free Word Centre, The Writers' Guild Awards are sponsored by the Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS), BBC Writersroom, BBC Talent Rights Group and HW Fisher & Company, the accountants with many clients in the entertainment and media world. Andrew Davies is best known for his 1995 BBC television adaptation of Pride and Prejudice starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle and the screenplay of the 2001 cinema hit Bridget Jones's Diary. Earlier TV successes included A Very Peculiar Practice and House of Cards, and he is currently working on a new film version of George Eliot's Middlemarch. Sir Terry Pratchett - knighted this year for his services to literature - is honoured for his outstanding contribution as a children's writer, although his Discworld series of comedy fantasy novels has hooked readers of all ages. His first published novel, The Carpet People, was written for children and other works for the young include The Bromeliad Trilogy and Nation, published last year - a reading from this novel formed part of the award presentation.
