November 17, 2009: Stan Berkowitz Receives WGAW Lifetime Award

Hollywood Examiner reports that Emmy-winning writer Stan Berkowitz received the Writers Guild of America, West Animation Writers Caucus' twelfth annual Animation Writing Award, recognizing his prolific career and creative contributions to the craft of film and television animation writing, as well as his efforts to organize animation on behalf of the Writers Guild.

    "While Stan has built an acclaimed writing career bringing superheroes to the screen, he's a real-life superhero to the animation writing community - not only helping to raise the profile of animation writers through his many creative gifts, but also by playing a lead role in the Guild's ongoing efforts to organize animation writing," said WGAW President John Wells.

    A two-time Daytime Emmy winner (shared for Batman Beyond in 2001 and The New Batman/Superman Adventures in 1998, Outstanding Special Class Animated Program), seven-time Daytime Emmy nominee, and one-time Primetime Emmy nominee, Berkowitz has most recently served as Story Editor for the upcoming animated superhero series, The 99, which was written under a Writers Guild contract.

    Berkowitz's many animated TV writing and/or co-writing credits include Legion of Super Heroes, The Batman, Transformers: Animated, Superman, Spider-Man, Justice League, The New Batman/Superman Adventures, Batman Beyond, Static Shock, Ben 10, The Brave and the Bold, and Friends and Heroes, a WGA-covered animated series for the BBC on which he served as Story Editor for 39 episodes.

    Earlier this year, Berkowitz adapted Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness' Superman/Batman: Public Enemies graphic novel into an animated direct-to-DVD feature for Warners Animation, which debuted in September. Berkowitz's previous adaptation of Darwyn Cooke's graphic novel, Justice League: The New Frontier, became a best-selling direct-to-DVD animated feature last year.
