America Ferrera, Eva Longoria, Greta Lee, Yara Shahidi, Celine Song and Linda Yvette Chávez will be feted at the 2023 WIF Honors.

The annual benefit will be held on Thursday, Nov. 30, in Los Angeles, as WIF (formerly known as Women in Film, Los Angeles), celebrates 50 years of working for gender equity in Hollywood. There, Jane Fonda will present Ferrera with the Jane Fonda Humanitarian Award, while the filmmaking duos of Longoria and Chávez (“Flamin’ Hot”) and Lee and Song (“Past Lives”) accept the Crystal Award for Advocacy. Shahidi is set to be honored with the Max Mara Face of the Future Award.

“The work of this year’s honorees exemplifies outstanding creative vision and the change WIF has worked to create in its 50 years as an organization,” said WIF Honors committee co-chairs Monica Levinson and Talitha Watkins. “Our industry is better because of these women and their commitment to spurring lasting impact in Hollywood, both in front of and behind the scenes.”

Regarding the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, a release noted that WIF worked directly with the guild to “ensure this year’s event adheres to strike guidelines and is sensitive to striking workers, their unions, and their allies, while still celebrating outstanding contributions to advocacy and collaboration that moves the needle towards gender equity in our industry.”

Fonda, for whom WIF’s humanitarian award was renamed in 2021, personally selected Ferrera as this year’s honoree, saluting her for her longtime activism. The “Ugly Betty” Emmy winner and “Barbie” star is one of the co-founders of Poderistas, a nonprofit launched to inform, affirm, and inspire Latinas to leverage their power and transform their lives, their community and their nation; in 2016, following the presidential election, Ferrera also launched Harness, a community of artists, influencers and grassroots leaders who aim to leverage art and storytelling to power change and create a more equitable world.

The Crystal Award for Advocacy pairs will sit in conversation during the ceremony, with their partnerships described as “a demonstration of what we can accomplish together when we make films by women.” Longoria is saluted for her 20-year career, both in front of and behind the camera as a producer and director, including her recent collaboration with “Flamin’ Hot” screenwriter Chávez. Lee is honored alongside playwright and filmmaker Song for their collaboration on the critically acclaimed A24 film “Past Lives,” which has established itself as an early awards season contender.

Shahidi’s Face of the Future honor — presented by Max Mara, which returns to sponsor the awards for a 20th year — recognizes both her acting and producing work (including “Black-ish,” “Grown-ish” and “Sitting in Bars with Cake”), as well as her fight for inclusivity and equity in the industry and beyond.

“This year’s honorees show the strength and power of collaboration, inclusion, and how uplifting stories that have gone untold for too long make this industry better,” said WIF CEO Kirsten Schaffer. “With our industry in a moment of upheaval, which too often disproportionately impacts women and people of color, we need these women leading the way now more than ever, as we continue to fight for gender equity. WIF is grateful to shine a light on these formidable honorees as we celebrate our 50th anniversary.”

The 2023 WIF Honors is designed and produced by Anchor Street Collective’s Carleen Cappelletti; additional presenters and participating talent will be announced in the coming weeks, with tickets available for sale at womeninfilm.org. Joining Levinson and Watkins on the WIF Honors committee are Eryn Brown, Esther Chang, Michelle Lee, Tracy McNight and Ida Ziniti.

The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday announced its inaugural Latin Power Event, set to take place Nov. 8 at Soho Beach House in Miami.

The afternoon event will honor Latin executives, talent and makers who have been leaders across film, television and music. Panelists and honorees include four trailblazers who are being recognized for their contributions in the following areas: America Ferrera, for advocacy and representation; Cris Abrego, chairman of Banijay America Group, president and CEO of Endemol Shine Holdings and co-founder and CEO Hypenate Media Group, for executive leadership; Danny Trejo, for entrepreneurship and philanthropy; and Emilio and Gloria Estefan, for lifetime achievement in the arts.

In a joint statement, THR co-editors-in-chief Nekesa Moody and Maer Roshan said: “We couldn’t be more excited to host our first ever Latin Power event in Miami, bringing together world-class talent and business leadership. Our shared goal is to create a platform to hear inspiring stories, celebrate leadership and shine a light on the undeniable momentum being created by Latin’s Power Players. We are also proud to have a dedicated issue that recognizes these influential leaders in the Latin community.”

The event coincides with THR’s Latin Power issue, which takes a fresh, business-forward look at the Latin executives, talent and makers having an impact on global audiences while driving business forward. The issue’s power list and accompanying features will tell a story, not of language or country of origin, but about the content that drives billions in revenue.

October 21, 2023 Jennifer Comments Off on America Ferrera Named A “Woman of the Year” by Glamour

America Ferrera has been named as one of GLAMOUR’S Global Honourees at this year’s Women of the Year Awards in partnership with Samsung, where she called for a ceasefire in Israel and Gaza.

During her powerful speech, Ferrera called for the conflict to end, and for women and children to “live in peace”.

“All of our sisters are not safe,” she said. “Like all of you, my heart is broken and heavy with the weight of what our sisters around the world endure every day. And as we sit here tonight celebrating, our sisters and their families in Gaza and Israel are living through horror.

“The brutality of terror and war is unfolding before our eyes. Entire families have been and continue to be erased.”

The war in Israel in Gaza began on 7 October, with Hamas militants crossing into Israeli territory and killing civilians. Israel then retaliated, which has now resulted in over 4,000 deaths and thousands of people injured and displaced.

“The one thing we know about war? It never benefits women,” America Ferrera added. “What are our voices if not to cry out on behalf of our sisters? In this moment, we can stand together and call for an end to all violence.

“We can demand that hostages be released and safely returned to their families. We must demand that our world leaders deliver a ceasefire and an immediate humanitarian response in Gaza and Israel. We must save our sisters. We must let the children live in peace. May we all find the courage to use our voices.”

Ferrera wasn’t the only GLAMOUR winner to call for peace in Israel and Gaza. Our Entertainer of the Year, Hannah Waddingham called for people to “pull together for a larger cause”.

“If any of us can give whatever you can. However small to the women in the world who are fighting to keep their children,” she said. “Then if you could do that one thing tonight, if you could just do it before you go to bed, anything then I would be eternally grateful.”
