Other honourees include The Affair’s Maura Tierney (Actress in a Supporting Role – Drama), Elizabeth Perkins from Sharp Objects (Actress in a Supporting Role – Made for TV Movie or Limited Series), Rachel Bloom (Actress in a Leading Role – Comedy or Musical for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), and Connie Britton, who will receive the Producer – Entertainment – Limited Series award, alongside Alexandra Cunningham, for Dirty John.
The annual ceremony is presented by officials at the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation (AWMF) and celebrates women’s work in radio, TV, and web-based media.
“In the more than four decades since the inception of the Gracie Awards, what stands out in 2019 is bravery,” AWMF board chair Christine Travaglini shares in a statement. “The courage of storytellers to share poignant, relevant and compelling content. This will be a year of true celebration.”
The ladies will all be recognised at a special Los Angeles gala on 21 May (19).
