Julian Fellowes

Julian Fellowes is a creator I find endlessly impressive because of his range. He's an English writer, novelist, producer and director, and a Conservative peer, which is an unusual combination of artist and establishment figure. The accolades back it up: an Academy Award for original screenplay, two Emmys, and nominations stretching across BAFTA, Golden Globe, Olivier and Tony territory. That breadth, screen, page and stage, is rare. Born in Cairo in 1949 and Oxford-educated, he clearly understands the world of manners and class he writes about so precisely. To me he's a master of period drama who makes social hierarchy feel like high-stakes storytelling.
