'The Good Wife' Producers Michelle and Robert King and 'Game of Thrones' Director Alex Graves Named 2014 Caucus Honors Award Winners by The Caucus for Producers, Writers and Directors
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Michelle and Robert King (The Good Wife) were awarded the 2014 Caucus Honors for Producer, and Alex Graves (Game of Thrones) won the Caucus Honors for Director at The Caucus for Producers, Writers & Directors 32nd Annual Awards Dinner honoring outstanding creative television and new media, announced Norman S. Powell, Chair of The Caucus, and Chuck Fries, President of the Foundation.
Host Fred Willard (Modern Family) presented the Producer Honors Award to Michelle King. "We're lucky to have an amazing, talented cast led by Julianna Margulies, a room full of some of the smartest writers in the business, a terrific roster of directors like Rosemary Rodriguez, and a fantastic hardworking crew," said King. "Thank you so much for honoring the 22 episodes a year of fabulousness."
Alex Graves was presented with the Director Honors Award by Charles Floyd Johnson (NCIS) and described a somewhat typical day of shooting Game of Thrones. "We had nine minutes to do the seven minute sunset shot, and we went out and got it," said Graves. "Whether it's the cast of 40 major characters and crew of a couple hundred in Croatia, Iceland, Northern Ireland, Africa, and now Spain, the one word you never hear on that show is 'can't'."
Caucus Award recipients also celebrated were executive producer Vin Di Bona, creator of America's Funniest Home Videos, currently in its 25th year, for Lifetime Achievement; Sony Pictures Television President Steve Mosko for Executive of the Year, producer and director Lee Miller (The Tony Awards) for the Chair's Award, producer Scott Carrey for Distinguished Service, and Variety Co-Editor-in-Chief Andrew Wallenstein for Journalism.

The Television and New Media Award went to Chapman University - Dodge College of Film and Media Arts for Sharp Left Turn.
