The National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) held its own version of the Oscars for neat freaks and anti-clutter experts, with its fifth annual Los Angeles Organizing Awards hosted by actress Kim Coles. The event, which took place Saturday, January 30th at The Raleigh Studios in Hollywood, paid tribute to the A&E's hit reality series Hoarders with two awards, including The Los Angeles Organizing Awards version of the Cecil B. DeMille Award, The Avery Dennison Special Recognition Award, while one of the show's featured Organizer's and producers, Dorothy Breininger, was honored as 2010's Most Innovative Organizer.
Hoarders' recognition should come as no surprise. In 2009 Hoarders received A&E's highest rated season premiere ever, attracting 3.2 million viewers, even beating out A&E's other Monday night hit Intervention. Breininger informed TV Guide Magazine of a new twist coming up on season 3 of Hoarders; "We've got follow-up shows coming. That is what the public has requested." The Hoarders star also noted, "It hasn't been clear to the audience, but A&E has really taken a lot of care to give to every single hoarder. This has been throughout season 1 and season 2. Aftercare, every single one of these Hoarders has been given aftercare. That's money toward either organizing, or therapy and for those folks who turn down the therapy, they're not successful" she explained.
With the show's success, Hoarders continues to raise awareness of this debilitating disease affecting over 3 million Americans each year. The number of reported cases "keeps growing," according to Breininger, which means that because of the show's popularity, people will continue to come forward and get the help they so desperately need.
Former star of TLC's Clean Sweep, and Oprah Winfrey's personal organization guru, Peter Walsh, presented The Raising the Bar Award at the event and was also nominated for Best TV Show Incorporating Organizing for his work on Oprah's Clean up Your Messy House. The award went to HGTV Canada's hit Neat instead.
Walsh is the latest recurring guest of the talk show Queen getting his own spinoff series produced by Winfrey. The Professional Organizer hinted at the premise for his upcoming collaboration with Oprah as, "a show that helps people really reassess their relationship to their stuff, a show that focuses far more on the quality of people's lives, than on the quantity of their stuff," he said. According to Walsh his new show is set to premiere on Winfrey's new Own Network in early 2011.
Walsh played coy when TV Guide Magazine asked who should replace the great Miss Oprah Winfrey. "I don't think there is anyone who can fill those stilettos. I couldn't even begin to speculate. I have no idea," he gushed.
