Women's Image Network Announces The WIN Awards 2010 Nominees & Sophia Loren Living Legend Honoree
Women's Image Network (WIN), announces its plans to celebrate Academy Award winning actress, Sophia Loren with its Living Legend Honor at The WIN Awards 2010 on November 12th in Los Angeles. The same evening WIN celebrates Ms. Loren, they also will award dozens of extraordinary film and television competing nominees whose work either boasts a female protagonist or which is directed or produced by a woman.
Beverly Hills, CA, October 02, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The WIN Awards applaud media that provides dimensional, accurate and powerful images of women that reaches the broadest audiences to shape positive public opinion about the value of women and girls. Although since its 1993 inception WIN has frequently been confused with Women In Film, (a Hollywood-based woman’s networking group that produces The Crystal and Lucy Awards to honor high-achieving female media individuals), WIN stands apart as the only organization to honor female media images. The WIN Awards celebrate both men and women in the media who promote gender parity through both their creativity and leadership.
Its lighthearted leader Phyllis Stuart says: “I don't simply produce The WIN Awards to encourage better roles for actresses, even though I do prefer seeing female film and television characters in 3-D, not just Double-D. And I may be ahead of the curve, but I believe that if women and girls are portrayed well in the media, all women may soon be well treated.”
To that end, in addition to honoring one or more invited honorees, WIN celebrates dozens of producers, directors, films and television shows which compete for this coveted tribute.
