Adding to the evening’s allure, Rachel Platten is slated to perform, and Raegan Revord will serve as AWMF’s Digital Impact Ambassador.
This year’s content themes are centered on “Feminine Strength, both Large and Small,” as exemplified in acclaimed productions like Yellowjackets, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and We Can Do Hard Things. Among the distinguished winners are influential figures such as Michelle Obama, Gayle King, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Nicole Kidman, Angela Yee, and Rachel Brosnahan.
