Village Voice film critic Stephanie Zacharek has been named a 2015 Pulitzer Prize finalist for criticism. The Pulitzer citation says Zacharek’s criticism “combines the pleasure of intellectual exuberance, the perspective of experience and the transporting power of good writing.”
Alt cartoonist Dan Perkins, a.k.a. Tom Tomorrow, was named a finalist in the editorial cartooning category for “cartoons that create an alternate universe — an America frozen in time whose chorus of conventional wisdom is at odds with current reality.”
