Patrick Stewart To Receive Television Showperson Of Year Award

The ICG Publicists Guild will honor Patrick Stewart with the 2024 Television Showperson of the Year Award.

The Star Trek: Picard star will receive the award at the 61st Annual ICG Publicist Awards luncheon at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel on March 8.

The Television Showperson of the Year award honors an individual whose accomplishments in television best represent that special spirit traditionally defined as showmanship.   

“We are honored to celebrate Stewart’s venerable career, including the recently-completed final season of CBS Studios/Paramount+’s Star Trek: Picard, in which he reprised his signature role, first appearing in 1987, in the TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation,” said Publicists Award Chairs Tim Menke & Sheryl Main in a joint statement.

Stewart’s career spans more than six decades. A classically trained theater artist who got his start at the Royal Shakespeare Company before breaking into film and television, Stewart’s performances have garnered three Olivier Awards plus Emmy, Golden Globe, SAG, Critics Choice and Tony Award nominations. He’s best known for his portrayals of Star Trek’s Jean-Luc Picard and X-Men’s Professor Charles Xavier.

In 2023, he became an instant New York Times best-selling author with the debut of his memoir, Making It So.

Previous recipients of the Television Showperson of the Year Award include Norman Lear, Ava DuVernay, Greg Berlanti, Quinta Brunson, Ryan Murphy, John Landgraf, Shonda Rhimes, Chuck Lorre, Steven Bochco, Aaron Spelling and Bob Hope.
