The latest award nominations for House and for Hugh Laurie are for Prism Awards. They are for performances and shows that accurately show drug abuse and mental health issues. Both House and Hugh are nominated, but not for the more obvious episode dealing with mental illness, Broken. Go figure.
Are you like me and would like a bit more information about what the award is awarded for? Here’s the official description:
The Entertainment Industries Council, Inc. (EIC) annually presents, in collaboration with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), FX Network, and News Corporation, the PRISM Awards™, a nationally-televised awards show recognizing the accurate depiction of drug, alcohol and tobacco use and addiction in film, television, interactive, music, DVD, and comic book entertainment. Established in 1997, the PRISM Awards honor productions that are not only powerfully entertaining, but realistically show substance abuse and addiction, as well as mental health issues.
