(12 Nov 2019) CHARLIZE THERON, MARGARET ATWOOD, AVA DUVERNAY AMONG THOSE HONORED AT GLAMOUR WOMEN OF THE YEAR AWARDS
Glamour's annual "Women of the Year Awards" welcomed a diverse array of A-listers onto its New York red carpet, Monday (11 NOVEMBER 2011).  2019 honorees included actress Charlize Theron, director Ava DuVernay, Tory Burch, author Margaret Atwood and soccer star Megan Rapinoe.
Theron, who was given an American Cinematheque Award Friday (8 NOVEMBER 2019) and is also getting Oscar buzz for her upcoming film "Bombshell," said she's filled with gratitude.
"It's pretty amazing—I'm super grateful. Yeah, I don't take any of this for granted. I've been on the other side of it, so I know how special this is. And making a film is really tedious and it's a lot of time and energy that you have to put in toward something. And you're always hoping at the end of that journey, that people will tap into it the way you tapped into it. And that's what's happening for us right now. And I'm really grateful for that."
"Bombshell" depicts Fox News employees speaking up against founder Roger Ailes' alleged sexual harassment, which eventually leads to the mogul's resignation.
Theron said although the story centers around Fox News, viewers loyal to the network shouldn't be turned off.
"Maybe Fox viewers will watch it because it's Megan Kelly and it's people that they know," Theron said. "And I think that the early buzz from this is saying that we-we really tried to put a fair story forward and really, ultimately in our acknowledgment of maybe being liberal, we're saying that through our differences, we're acknowledging how important this story is. Because ultimately, this is a nonpartisan issue. Women should be able to go to work and feel safe. And that's ultimately what this story is about. It's not about the right or the left or about Fox or CNN. It's about women feeling safe. That's an important story to tell."
Also honored was Margaret Atwood, author of "The Handmaid's Tale" novels.  She spoke of how her new sequel, "The Testaments," is inspiring the younger generation, much like her original novel moved women of that time period.
"It gives us some hope, doesn't it? Because unless young people get inspired, that's sort of it (for us). And they're being inspired along several lines, one of them is the climate crisis that we're experiencing right now, and that's young people that started the extinction rebellion and a lot of older people are being inspired by them."
"The Handmaid's Tale" actress Samira Wiley, who presented the award to Atwood, marveled at how the author can peek into the future.
"I don't even understand how she does what she does. The amazing thing is to be able to have that new audience, but it's not just the new audience. I have heard so many women in my mother's generation, everyone talking about returning to Margaret with this new book, 'The Testaments.' And her ability to bring those multi-generations together is something that you don't really see often," said Wiley. "I just don't understand how she stands on the cutting edge of everything. She's just always on the forefront."
And while "The Good Place" actress Jameela Jamil was excited to attend the event, she pointed out it shows there is still some way to go for women in the industry.
And while Jamil says those two movements have helped women in Hollywood, they seem to be less visible today than in the past couple of years.
While the perception may be that #MeToo and "Times Up" were only fleeting Hollywood moments, DuVernay insists that is not the case.
