'Crash' wins Humanitas Prize for screenwriting.
(From AP Worldstream)
Byline: SANDY COHEN
Paul Haggis and Bobby Moresco, who won the original screenplay Oscar earlier this year for "Crash," collected another award for the film on Wednesday: the Humanitas Prize.
The screenwriting award honors work that helps "liberate, enrich and unify society." Eleven writers collected awards and their share of $145,000 (A115,354) in prize money at a luncheon at the Hilton Universal Hotel. Haggis and Meresco received $25,000 (A19,889).
"Crash," which also won the best-picture Oscar, tells the intertwining stories of an array of diverse characters over 36 hours in Los Angeles. The Humanitas judges commended it "for its call to reach out with respect and compassion to all of our brothers and sisters."
