Prism Awards Held Last Week

Jeff Bridges can now add another award next to his recently acquired Oscar trophy. He, along with "Crazy Heart" co-star Maggie Gyllenhal received Prism Awards last Thursday night for their roles in the film about an alcoholic singer. The Prism Awards were established in 1997 and honor actors, movies, and TV shows that "accurately depict and bring attention to substance abuse and mental health issues." Other winners included Hector Elizondo and Tony Shalhoub for the TV show "Monk," the film "The Soloist," and television shows "How I Met Your Mother," "Law and Order," "Breaking Bad" and "The Celebrity Apprentice." The awards are produced by the Entertainment Industries Council Inc. in collaboration with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the FX Network. The award ceremony took place at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
