Each year, the Animation Writers Caucus of the Writers Guild of America, West presents a trophy called the WGAW-AWC Animation Writing Award. It's kind of a "life achievement" award and this year, there will be two, both presented posthumously. In a ceremony on November 17, the late Dwayne McDuffie and the late Earl Kress will be honored for their careers and accomplishments. I will be making the presentation for Earl, which will be accepted by his wife Denise. If you're a member of the caucus, you should have received your invite by now.
