Last night Vogue took home Magazine of the Year at the annual National Magazine Awards, while The New Yorker and New York tied for the most awards, with three each. (New York won for magazine section, design, and columns by art critic Jerry Saltz, and we’re grateful for each Ellie statue.) Sixty-six magazines were nominated, and there were six first-time winners: The Atavist, The Hollywood Reporter, Pacific Standard, the Texas Observer, Nautilus, and Vice. Congratulations to all of the winners listed below, and anyone looking for some excellent reading material.
