Cristin Milioti, Megan Thee Stallion and Kathy Bates are among the recipients of this year’s Gracie Awards by the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation.
This year’s celebration marks the 50th anniversary of the awards and will highlight the impact of women’s voices across television, audio, streaming, and digital platforms. Previous honorees of the Gracies have include Ava DuVernay, Carol Burnett, Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, Marlo Thomas, Michelle Obama, Nicole Kidman, Oprah Winfrey, and Sandra Oh.
“For 50 years, the Gracie Awards have honored the storytellers who push boundaries and redefine what’s possible,” said Becky Brooks, President of AWMF, in a statement. “This is more than an awards show—it is a movement that has championed inclusion, representation, and truth in the media. The women we celebrate today are shaping the next 50 years, ensuring that our narratives are not just seen or heard, but felt and remembered. And we are excited to have Fortune Feimster join us as the host for our Golden Anniversary Gala in Los Angeles, bringing her incredible wit and energy to this unforgettable celebration.”
The Gracie Awards Gala is set for May 20 at the Beverly Wilshire in Los Angeles. Comedian Fortune Feimster will emcee. Do Great Projects and Mythical Creators with Kristin Whalley will executive produce.
