LESLI LINKA GLATTER<br />
The BMW Dorothy Arzner<br />
Directors Award<br />
Glatter, whose stellar reputation<br />
has been built on such series<br />
as “Homeland,” “ER” and “Mad<br />
Men,” couldn’t be happier about<br />
female directors, showrunners,<br />
and executive producers<br />
taking the lead. “Even on a<br />
bad day, I love my job. I love<br />
being a storyteller and getting<br />
to work in this incredible<br />
‘team sport’ with so many<br />
extraordinary artists,” she says.<br />
“I am profoundly grateful to<br />
WIF for this amazing honor<br />
especially now, where issues<br />
regarding women directors are<br />
at the forefront of the cultural<br />
conversation.”<br />
Making a Point<br />
Executive producer and director<br />
Lesli Linka Glatter and director of<br />
photography David Klein work on<br />
the set of “Homeland.”<br />
NATALIE DORMER<br />
The Women in Film Max Mara<br />
Face of the Future Award<br />
As Queen<br />
Margaery Tyrell<br />
on “Game of<br />
Thrones,”<br />
Dormer plays a<br />
powerful and clever royal, not far<br />
from her Anne Boleyn in<br />
Showtime’s “The Tudors.” The<br />
actress has a lot on her docket,<br />
including more “Thrones” and<br />
Stefan Ruzowitzky’s “Patient<br />
Zero.” “I am proud to be part of<br />
the movement pushing forward,”<br />
she says.<br />
HYLDA QUEALLY<br />
The Sue Mengers Award<br />
Named after<br />
groundbreaking<br />
superagent Sue<br />
Mengers, who<br />
guided the<br />
careers of Barbra Streisand,<br />
Steve McQueen, and Faye<br />
Dunaway, among others, the<br />
award has been presented only<br />
once before. CAA’s Queally has<br />
earned it, representing some of<br />
the top talent in the film industry,<br />
including Marion Cotillard, Cate<br />
Blanchett, Kate Winslet, Lupita<br />
Nyong’o, Jessica Chastain, Rose<br />
Byrne, and Daisy Ridley.<br />
TARAJI P. HENSON<br />
The Lucy Award for Excellence<br />
in Television<br />
Henson has<br />
become one of<br />
the most<br />
recognizable<br />
names in TV<br />
and film. Her role as Cookie Lyon<br />
on Fox’s “Empire” earned the<br />
actress a Golden Globe award<br />
and an Emmy nom. “I couldn’t be<br />
more honored or thrilled to<br />
receive an award from women<br />
and with the name Lucy attached<br />
makes it perfect,” she says. “After<br />
playing so many very dramatic<br />
roles, I hope this means someone<br />
thinks I can be funny.”<br />
