BritWeek honored Julian Fellowes, creator of the hit PBS Masterpiece Classic, Downton Abbey, and Gareth Neame, executive producer, at a press lunch today and shared big news about BritWeek 2013. Michelle Dockery, who has a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in the TV Drama, also attended the lunch.
“BritWeek celebrates the huge influence of UK creativity in California. We see Downton Abbey as a shining example of this and congratulate them on their many achievements,” said Bob Peirce, Chairman of BritWeek, speaking at the BritWeek Golden Globes press luncheon. Fellowes agreed and added, “California is a wonderful, tolerant and encouraging host, for ideas and for people of every denomination, and it is no surprise to me that we should find such a marvelous celebration of the achievements of the British under its azure skies. I am proud to be part of this year’s BritWeek.”
BritWeek announced today that its 2013 program, which will run from April 23 to May 6 in Los Angeles, will be its biggest year yet. The seventh annual BritWeek will once again include its signature red carpet events, such as the star-studded launch reception at the British Consul General’s Residence and the annual charity gala at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.
