New York Women in Film & Television recently held its 44th annual Muse Awards in New York City, where over 700 guests gathered at Cipriani 42nd Street to honor notable figures in the entertainment industry. The event celebrated the achievements of distinguished individuals such as Fran Drescher, Alex Borstein, Kyra Sedgwick, Tantoo Cardinal, Latasha Gillespie, Millicent Simmonds, Michèle Stephenson, and Oscar-winner Raney Aronson-Rath.
One of the highlights of the evening was SAG-AFTRA executive vice president Linda Powell accepting an award on behalf of Fran Drescher, who was unable to attend due to a recent family tragedy. Powell shared a statement from Drescher, highlighting the challenges faced during the historic Hollywood strikes and emphasizing the importance of standing up against misogyny and gender expectations in the industry.
