This year it went to Tina Fey. On Tuesday night everyone from Betty White, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon, Steve Martin, Jane Krakowski, and many more came out to celebrate Tina's work. This is the 13th year for the MTP and Fey is only the 3rd woman to receive the prestigious honor.
The night before the event a dinner took place in the Capital building with speakers like Nancy Pelosi and Lorne Michaels. The dinner was in Statuary Hall which is comprised of 2 statues of significant people from the first 13 colonies, although originally each state had 2 statues but when a museum was opened for the capital building most of the statues were transferred there.
Many people came out to celebrate the many talents of Tina Fey and this turned out to be the highest grossing show yet making 1.3 million. The sold out show will be on PBS on Sunday November 14.
Anna - I think you need to really think about what makes something an interesting piece of writing. When you read, what interests you? What is the writer doing that draws you in? In a blog post, when way you draw the reader in is voice. That's something you could work on. What is your style as writer? This piece gives the reader a few basic pieces of information about the fact that Tina Fey won this award, but it doesn't make a very compelling case for why we ought to care. It's not that the topic is bad, just you haven't presented it to us in a manner that will pique interest. Is there something about the award itself that is interesting? About Fey receiving it? Was your reason for being there compelling?
