At last night's National Magazine Awards, where the industry's top editors get all "snazzed up" and hope to walk away with an elephant-ish award, it wasn't so much about who won the awards – National Geographic, Vanity Fair, Back-frickin'-packer – but who didn't. Namely, Adam Moss' New York, which last year cleaned up the ceremony with five Ellies; this year, he took home only one, for "Leisure Interests." Even his foodie blog, the excellent Grub Street, got snubbed.
No matter though, since it'll all be a distant memory until this time next year, especially when the night included Annie Liebowitz, whose Hollywood issue photos gave VF a win in "Photo Portfolio," ducking questions about Miley Cyrus during the cocktail hour, to one particularly interesting scenario in the men's bathroom at the Jazz at Lincoln Center event.
Which top magazine editor needed help finding a little baggy of white powder he dropped in the men's bathroom? The gentleman using the sink who volunteered to join the search party didn't know what he was helping to look for until he found it in front of the urinal. The editor issued a muffled "thanks" and tucked the contraband into his coat pocket on the way out the door.
