The lifetime achievement honor will be presented Thursday night at the AWC's annual awards ceremony at WGAw headquarters in Los Angeles.

In live-action, Berkowitz has written for "Dragnet: The 90's," "Power Rangers: Space Patrol Delta," "The New Adam 12," "Mike Hammer," "T.J. Hooker" and "The Adventures of Superboy and Cover Up." His screenwriting credits include "Street Corner Justice" and "Acapulco Gold." "While Stan has built an acclaimed writing career bringing superheroes to the screen," said WGAw president John Wells, "he's a real-life superhero to the animation writing community -- not only helping to raise the profile of animation writers through his many creative gifts, but also by playing a lead role in the Guild's ongoing efforts to organize animation writing." Recent AWC Writing Award recipients include Brad Bird, Jules Feiffer, Alan Burnett, Michael Reiss and Linda Woolverton.
