Reality Maven Cashes in On Awards Season

The Producers Guild of America has announced the winner of its Norman Lear Award, a TV producers' award that in years past has gone to Lorne Michaels, Jerry Bruckheimer, Dick Wolf, and, last year, David Chase. And the 2009 winner, to be presented at a gala ceremony Jan. 24th is ... drumroll please ... Mark Burnett. It's a bit of a stretch to get worked up into a lather over the man who brought you Pirate Master, but there you have it. [The Wrap]
