The awards "recognize exemplary programming created by, for and about women in radio, television and interactive media."
Michelle Williams, Amy Poehler, Natasha Lyonne, Tamron Hall, Naomi Watts, Angela Yee, Norah O'Donnell, Niecy Nash, Stephanie Beatriz and Soledad O’Brien are among the honorees for the 45th annual Gracie Awards, which recognize women in television, radio and digital media.
The awards, announced by the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation on Wednesday, "recognize exemplary programming created by, for and about women in radio, television and interactive media." Honorees are chosen from national, local and student markets, including both commercial and non-commercial outlets.
"We want to thank those on the front lines telling the important stories still impacting our world," said Becky Brooks, executive director of the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation. "It is our distinguished honor to recognize the reporters, hosts, producers and media executives who are working to ensure the public is informed. We know everyone in media has been impacted in some way, and we continue to salute this outstanding list of honorees for their award-winning passion, energy and perseverance."
Details on how the winners will be celebrated will be announced soon, the organization added.
Some of the honorees recorded special messages, which can be seen in the video below.
