Gracie Awards 2023: Celebrating Women’s Voices with Megan Thee Stallion and Cristin Milioti
Ah, the Gracie Awards—where the glitz and glam of Hollywood meet the impactful narratives spun by women who actually have something to say. This year, as we don our fanciest frocks for the 50th anniversary of this prestigious celebration, we can’t help but marvel at the stellar lineup of honorees, including the likes of Cristin Milioti, Megan Thee Stallion, and the incomparable Kathy Bates. The Alliance for Women in Media Foundation is not just handing out trophies; they’re crafting a legacy of empowerment that’s been redefining the media landscape for half a century. Becky Brooks, President of AWMF, hit the nail on the head when she said this is a movement, not merely an awards show. It’s a bold declaration that women’s voices will continue to rise, echoing through the realms of television, audio, streaming, and digital platforms.
The gala, set for May 20 at the swanky Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Los Angeles, will be hosted by the ever-hilarious Fortune Feimster—because why not add a sprinkle of humor to a night dedicated to serious storytelling? Among the winners, we find impressive achievements spanning various genres, from the impactful reporting of Lisa Ling to the profound performances of Milioti and Bates.
These women aren’t just names on a list; they’re shaping narratives that resonate with audiences and challenge the status quo. Previous Gracie winners include icons like Oprah and Michelle Obama, proving that this award is more than just a shiny bauble—it’s a testament to the power of storytelling. So as we celebrate, let’s remember: these women are not just making waves; they’re creating tsunamis of change in an industry that desperately needs it.
Class dismissed. Don’t forget to champion the voices that dare to defy the ordinary.
