AND PRESENTING OUR NEXT AWARD--HE WROTE ABOUT SPIES, SHE PLAYS ONE ON TV--NORMAN MAILER AND JENNIFER GARNER: NBC and Vivendi Universal have announced plans for the "Quills," which attempts to cross the National Book Awards with "American Idol," and which will be broadcast in October on the 14 NBC owned and operated TV stations in a "star-studded" ceremony. Categories include "Rookie of the Year," which is apparently the Quill equivalent of "Best New Artist," "Literary Fiction," and "Graphic Novel of the Year." Somehow, I expect this is going to be a little more accesible than the average book awards--expect Stephen King and John Grisham to clean up.
