The 47th annual event, presented by the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation, will honor talented women in TV, radio and digital media.

This year’s awards will also recognize entertainment and news programming that highlighted female-driven stories and culturally relevant topics including 48 Hours, 60 Minutes, NBC Nightly News, The New York Times Presents, Pose and Maid.

“Throughout this past year we have seen a number of remarkable projects by and about inspirational women. 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,” Alliance for Women in Media Foundation president Becky Brooks said in a statement. “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.”

The 47th Annual Gracie Awards are set to take on May 24, 2022 in Los Angeles. Local and student award winners will be honored at the Gracie Awards Luncheon on June 22 in New York City.
