The Gracie Awards recognize exemplary programming created by women, for women and about women in all facets of media and entertainment. They also acknowledge the individuals who have made inspirational contributions to the industry.
Named after the late Gracie Allen, the Gracie Awards acknowledge outstanding team leadership and individual achievement. The Gracies focus on women who are making positive change and who further the discussion of what a fulfilling career in media looks like.
The Kelly Clarkson Show is included among the honorees. The American Idol OG winner and The Voice coach acknowledged the honor on social media. Kelly Clarkson and her show are also up for several Daytime Emmys.
