HANDS ACROSS
THE WATER

Lucian Grainge (or Lucian Grainge CBE, as he’s known across the pond) will receive the 2015 Creative Fusion Award at the BritWeek UKTI Business Innovation Awards.

This award, which is bestowed annually, "recognizes an individual who exemplifies the special creative relationship between the U.K. and California, and whose creative talents and business acumen have had a profound impact on the way we live, work, and play."

Previous Creative Fusion Award recipients include Simon Cowell and Paul Oakenfold.

By the way, BritWeek is an L.A.-based org founded by American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance producer Nigel Lythgoe and former British Consul-General in Los Angeles Bob Peirce.
