what do the judges for the following awards normally look for when choosing a winner?

pen/faulkner pulitzer prize for fiction national book critics circle National book awards in other words what makes the winners for each award distinct? does anyone have a source where i can find this information out? thanks!
Answer: Well, from what I found, it looks like the criteria are subjective. There is no list. Each judge finds the books that appeal to them (of course they have to be well-written, good grammar, etc.), and then the panel corporately decide the winner from each judge's short list. There are some things that factors that prejudice the judges, however. This book reviewer talks about them on this link. http://flcenterlitarts.wordpress.com/2010/02/24/handicapping-the-penfaulkner-shortlist-without-actually-reading-any-of-the-books/ The PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction is a national prize which honors the best published works of fiction by American citizens in a calendar year. Three judges, chosen annually by the directors of the PEN/Faulkner Foundation, select five books from among the more than 300 works submitted, making this the largest peer-juried award in the country. The winning writer and four finalists are honored at a ceremony held in Washington at the Folger Shakespeare Library in May. http://www.penfaulkner.org/award_for_fiction.php National Books Critics Circle (the process) http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Hu-WBPCPhzoJ:bookcritics.org/blog/archive/how_we_pick_our_awards/+national+book+awards+how+the+board+selects+titles+for+the+awards.&cd=4&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us Conflict of Interest http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/18/national-book-awards-conflict-of-interest-question-arises-in-young-readers-category/

What is the difference between the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, if any?

Why are the fiction winners list so vastly different?
Answer: They're two different organizations, each selecting its own nominees and from them, their own winners. Think Golden Globes vs. People's Choice vs. Academy Awards.

Regis Philbin Looks Back at a Long, Unscripted Career

In Regis Philbin’s office at the studios of WABC television on the Upper West Side, the shelves were about half empty last week, as he wound down the days to his final appearance, Friday morning, on “Live With Regis and Kelly.” A few Notre Dame mementos were still up. So was the life-size cutout of Dean Martin. But Mr. Philbin was - By BILL CARTER

Is there video/photos of Adrienne Rich rejecting the 1974 Natl Book Award with Alice Walker and Audre Lorde?

In 1974, her collection Diving Into the Wreck received the National Book Award for Poetry; Rich, however, refused the award individually, instead joining with two other female poets (Alice Walker and Audre Lorde) to accept it on behalf of all silenced women.
Answer: I've definitely never found or heard of any video or photos of this event, unfortunately. The most coverage I could find was a 1974 New York Times article on the awards, and I'd pay the $3.95 to read it if I thought it might have included a picture of her speech, but I suspect it doesn't. I believe she and Lorde took the stage together when they accepted it (I don't think Walker came). The speech Rich delivered, written together with the other women, has been published in snippets and quotes in a few different places, but the entirety, as far as I know, can only be found in the books "Inviting Transformation: Presentational Speaking for a Changing World" by Foss (page 148) and "Women's Voices in Our Time: Statements by American Leaders" by Victoria Defrancisco (in the epilogue). Too bad; one good thing about this age is that our living history is captured in all sorts of media. It would have really been something to see her deliver that speech live! Anyway, in case you don't have it, the gist of it was (patched together from several sources): "We, Audre Lorde, Adrienne Rich, and Alice Walker, together accept this award in the name of all women whose voices have gone and still go unheard in a patriarchal world, and in the name of those who, like us, have been tolerated as token women in this culture, often at great cost and in great pain...We believe that we can enrich ourselves more in supporting and giving to each other than by competing against each other; and that poetry - if it *is* poetry - exists in a realm beyond ranking and comparison. We symbolically join together in refusing the terms of patriarchal competition and declaring that we will share this prize among us, to be used as best it can for women. We appreciated the good faith of the judges for this award, but none of us could accept this money for herself, nor could she let go unquestioned the terms on which poets are given or denied honor and livelihood in the world, especially when they are women...We dedicate this occasion to the struggle for self-determination of all women, of every color, identification or deprived class: the poet, the housewife, the lesbian, the mathematician, the mother, the dishwasher, the pregnant teenager, the teacher, the grandmother, the prostitute, the philosopher, the waitress, the women who will understand what we are doing here and those who will not understand yet...the silent women whose voices have been denied us, the articulate women who have given us strength to do our work." (They ended up donating the $1000 prize to to the Sisterhood of Black Single Mothers in NYC.)

CULTURED TRAVELER; New Vistas Emerge for Burmese Artists

OH, please let me go to heaven! Kyee Myintt Saw, a Burmese artist, was joking as we chatted in his sweltering studio on the ground floor of a laundry-festooned apartment building in Yangon, Myanmars largest city.

How good or bad is the movie "National Treasure: Book of Secrets "(2007)? Is it worth seeing on the big screen

Is the movie "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" (2007) any good?What was the plot of this movie? Was it a good movie or bad movie? Who all stars in this movie ? Did it win any awards or anything? How well did it do with movie critics and moviegoers?Is it worth buying on DVD ? Is worth paying $2 to go see on the big screen?Please give me your opinion on the movie, not links to see it free online. Thank You.
Answer: I saw the movie and I liked it. The actors aren't too old to be acting. Not as good as the first movie, but good none the less The plot of the movie is that Ben Gates grandfather was being accused of being part of the assassin of Abraham Lincoln. He has to go out and prove that his grandfather is innocent by kidnapping the president to find the book of secrets that only the president's know about. The stars are Nicholas Cage, Justin Bartha, Diane Kruger, Helen Mirren, Ed Harris and Jon Voight. It didn't win any awards and it is worth going to see. Critics give it a 7/10 and I agree.

Whats a good book that has won an award?

Heres the list of possible awards: -Pulitzer Prize -National Book Award -Booker Prize -Nobel Prize -National Book Critics Circle Award. Thanks!
Answer: Life of Pi by Yann Martel won the Booker Prize. I loooved that one. Its such a bizarre story but its so accessible and warm. You really feel like Pi lives in your head at the end. Or there's Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides which won a Pulitzer. He is known better for The Virgin Suicides which is also very good, but it doesn't have the same epic style story telling that Middlesex does. Its absolutely captivating. Angela's Ashes won something, I forget what, but I love its stream of conciousness style, it makes it feel so much more Irish (if you can handle it, read Ulysses ASAP)But its also pretty much the saddest book Ive ever read. I will also always go to bat for Stephen King, I love the horror genre though, but he writes other great stuff too!! Ever wonder why the Shawshank Redemption is such an amazing film? Its becasue they EXACTLY followed Stephen Kings story. Perfectly, Too the T. Play by Play.
