Created in 1946, the Edgar Awards, sponsored by the Mystery Writers of America (MWA), are the Oscars for mystery writers, honoring the best novels, non-fiction books, television show, and film in the mystery, crime, suspense, and intrigue fields published or produced during the previous year. The awards are named for MWA's patron saint, Edgar Allan Poe. Each year, 68 judges consider over 1,000 books, 500 short stories, as well as television programs, movies, and plays for the twelve categories and the Simon & Schuster Mary Higgins Clark Award.
