“Tiny Beautiful Things”, “Grey’s Anatomy” & “Station 19” Win At The Sentinel Awards
The 2023 Sentinel Awards took place on Wednesday evening at the Writers Guild Theater in Beverly Hills, and Disney’s studios picked up several awards for its shows, including “Grey’s Anatomy”, “Station 19”, and “Tiny Beautiful Things”
The final 11 honorees are submitted by broadcast, cable, and streaming networks and represent a range of topics on health, safety, and security. The presentation was hosted by Larry Wilmore and is hosted by the Hollywood, Health & Society (HH&S), a program of the USC Annenberg Norman Lear Center.
Sadly, Norman Lear passed away on the same day, and his wife, Lyn, sent a statement to be read aloud to those in attendance.
“I would have been there tonight if not for the passing of our beloved Norman. He was so proud of the work of The Lear Center and Hollywood, Health and Society. And he would not have wanted all of us to mourn. He would want us to celebrate the important shows you are honoring tonight, and most of all, he would have want us to laugh.”
