    Yeah, was thinking about awards too, but I'm not sure what the "Oscars" of the genre are. I've Googled several different awards for fantasy and sci-fi, but I don't know which is the one to be asking about. Maybe some others know better.

    I don’t know much either but a couple I’ve googled won Locus awards. Dan Simmons being one I’m looking at but IMDb showing two screen writing credits

    If there's one thing I'm learning, it's that there's a lot more Fantasy and Sci-Fi authors I should be adding to my read list!!!

    Stephen Donaldson fits the bill for a little while yet. (As in The Gap is being adapted for the screen.)

    Is he known for fantasy specifically?
    For example Donaldson is well known for both science fiction and fantasy series (and is lesser known for crime fiction). Feist is known specifically for fantasy on the other hand.

    Fair enough! My favourites of his were the Empire trilogy he did with Janny Wurts.
