The Writer’s Guild of America has selected the late Harold Ramis to receive the Laurel Award for Screenwriting Achievement.
“Harold Ramis changed the face of comedy,” said WGA West VP Howard A. Rodman. “His death last year deprived us of his unique way of seeing the world, at once hilarious and wise. From his early work with National Lampoon and SCTV through ‘Animal House,’ ‘Meatballs,’ ‘Caddyshack’ and ‘Ghostbusters,’ Ramis’ voice was strong, clear, outrageous in all the best ways.”
The award will be presented to his family at the WGA Awards ceremony on February 14th.
