Your 50th Annual Gracie Awards Winners
• The Alliance for Women in Media Foundation (AWMF) this morning unveiled the winners of the milestone 50th Annual Gracie Awards, celebrating five decades of amplifying women’s voices, stories, and achievements in media. This landmark anniversary marks not only a reflection on past trailblazers but also a declaration of the continued power of women shaping the cultural and media landscape.
The winners will be honored at the Gracie Awards Gala on May 20, at the Beverly Wilshire, a Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles, hosted by actress, comedian, and podcaster, Fortune Feimster. Local and student award recipients will be recognized at the Gracie Awards Luncheon on June 18 at Cipriani’s in New York City.
“For 50 years, the Gracie Awards have honored the storytellers who push boundaries and redefine what’s possible,” said Becky Brooks, President of AWMF. “This is more than an awards show — it’s 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.”
