00This year, the star-studded event — which coincided with the publication of THR’s annual Women in Entertainment Power 100 — honored Nicole Kidman with the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award, highlighting a woman who is a pioneer in her field. Selena Gomez was also recognized with the Equity in Entertainment Award, honoring her work amplifying the voices of underrepresented communities in the entertainment industry.
Nikki Glaser kicked off the morning, joking, “What better time to honor women than at 8 a.m., before the industry is even awake, in that coveted post-Thanksgiving pre-Christmas Hollywood dead zone? We are women in Hollywood, hear us roar!”
“Let’s just take a moment right now to really appreciate the firepower in this room. Look around — this is the Power 100. The most powerful women in Hollywood, assembled here together in the same room. We’re like the Avengers of people who haven’t seen The Avengers,” Glaser joked, while also admitting it can be hard to be encouraging when the industry pits women against each other.
THR deputy editorial director Jeanie Pyun and writer-at-large Lacey Rose then took the stage alongside THR president Joe Shields and senior vp entertainment, digital sales and strategy Lori O’Connor as they congratulated this year’s honorees and thanked the event sponsors. The group brought up Molly Shannon, who was on hand to present Gomez with the Equity in Entertainment Award.
Shannon, who worked with Gomez on season four of Only Murders in the Building, gushed, “From the moment we met, I knew I was in the presence of someone truly extraordinary. Yes, she’s an incredibly talented actress, a multiplatinum Grammy-nominated recording artist and a history-making producer. But more than that, someone who genuinely cares about people and the world around her. She uses her platform to make a real, lasting impact.”
