The Alliance for Women in Media Foundation (AWMF) has revealed the winners of the 47th Annual Gracie Awards, which return in-person on May 24 at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Los Angeles.

"Throughout this past year we have seen a number of remarkable projects by and about inspirational women," said Alliance for Women in Media Foundation Chair Heather Cohen.

"We are honored to shine a spotlight on these women, whose stories have driven cultural awareness, offered entertainment that has made us laugh, cry, and everything in between. This year, we will be returning to the Beverly Wilshire Hotel and are delighted to return to an in-person format so that we can properly celebrate together," added AWMF President Becky Brooks.
