Our own Holly Gleason (although we share her) has been showered with nominations—nine in all—by the National Entertainment Journalism Association, four of them wholly or partly in recognition of her writing for HITS. These noms include the org’s highest honor, Journalist of the Year.

Journalist of the Year (freelance)
Music Critic of the Year (HITS/hitsdailydouble.com)
Diversity in the Entertainment Industry (HITS), for “Nashville Pride: A Joyful Resistance”
Online Columnist (freelance)

Holly’s in esteemed company—journalists from such publications as The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Rolling Stone and Artnet News.

Another of her noms is for Y'ALL EAT YET: Welcome to the Pretty B*tchin Kitchen, the cookbook she co-wrote with Miranda Lambert.

Oddly enough, she’s up against Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in two categories.

Overall, it's a powerful look for Holly, and we’re extremely proud of her.
