介绍:
Cate Blanchett, Kerry Washington honored at the Crystal + Lucy Awards
The annual Crystal + Lucy Awards praising women's power in Hollywood have been handed out.
First presented in 1977 by the 'Women in Film' organization, the awards are set to honour women in communications and media.
Oscar-winning actress Cate Blanchett won the Crystal Award for Excellence in Film.
Blanchett says there are still many efforts to be made on the path to gender equality in Hollywood.
"Well when you look at the statistics I think of all those so-called blockbusters, which are mainstream filmmaking, it's between five and nine percent of those are being directed by women and that's not a big percentage when you think about it and when you think about the talent pool out there. There's a lot of doors that still need to be opened, not because women don't have the ability but simply because there's a lack of imagination you know."
Meantime, new mom Kerry Washington brought home the Lucy Award for Excellence in Television.
Actress and producer Eva Longoria was honored for her charity work.
The 'Desperate Housewives' star says her humanitarian efforts are the most challenging and most rewarding part of her life.
"The most challenging would be my philanthropy. I mean there's just so many problems that we need to solve in the world and so much inequality that to go about tackling it in a new way, and interesting way, in a sustainable way, is hard. But it's the work that brings me the most joy and it's definitely the most rewarding of anything that I do."
During the ceremony, late author and poet Maya Angelou was remembered.
Angelou died last month at the age of 86.
She was best known as a literary pioneer and civil rights champion.
Last night's show also serves as a fundraiser for Women in Film.
