Variety honorees for the upcoming Power of Women issue on Wednesday, Oct. 23, and event on Thursday, Oct. 24, are Amy Adams, Bela Bajaria, Carol Burnett and Zoe Saldaña. The event, in partnership with Lifetime, celebrates the Power of Women honorees, who will each appear on the cover of the issue, as well as the accomplished women profiled in the annual Women’s Impact Report, which highlights leaders in the entertainment industry.

At the event, six-time Oscar-nominated and Golden Globe-winning actor Amy Adams, who will star in Searchlight Pictures’ upcoming “Nightbitch,” will support The RightWay Foundation which helps foster youth in Los Angeles build sustaining adulthoods through supportive housing, mental health, employment and community; chief content officer of Netflix Bela Bajaria will highlight the work of Room to Read’s Girls’ Education Program, supporting children’s literacy and girls’ education across Asia and Africa; Emmy, Golden Globe, Tony and Grammy award-winning comedian, actor and singer Carol Burnett, who recently starred in the Apple TV+’s “Palm Royale,” will discuss the The Hereditary Disease Foundation, which funds innovative research to cure Huntington’s disease and impact other brain disorders; and actor and producer starring in some of the highest-grossing films of all time, Zoe Saldaña, who stars in Netflix’s upcoming “Emilia Pérez” and Paramount+’s “Lioness,” will support Baby2Baby, which provides necessities to children in need.

Variety will also honor actor Sarah Hyland with the first-ever Variety Courage Award, presented by Purina, which celebrates the entrepreneur and proud dog mom for her outspoken advocacy for survivors of domestic violence. The award builds on Purina’s Purple Leash Program, an innovative initiative with the nonprofit RedRover, that provides resources and support to help domestic violence shelters across the U.S. become pet-friendly, so that survivors with pets can escape abuse and heal together. Currently, fewer than 20% of domestic violence shelters in the U.S. allow pets, but Purina and RedRover are on a mission to change that and have given more than 50 grants to help increase the number of pet-friendly shelters so that no survivor has to choose between their own safety and the safety of their pet.

The event will be hosted by Emmy-nominated actor and comedian Leslie Jones, who recently voiced a role in Marvel’s “Hit-Monkey” for Hulu.

“The Power of Women franchise continues to be one of our most highly anticipated events of the year. We are honored to celebrate outstanding women who continue to defy barriers and push the industry forward,” said Variety CEO and group publisher, Michelle Sobrino-Stearns. “We are grateful to our wonderful partners at Lifetime for their longstanding support.”

“What each of these honorees have shown us is that what we do for others is the true essence of being a powerful woman,” said Elaine Frontain Bryant, EVP and head of programming, A&E, Lifetime & LMN. “Lifetime is honored to continue celebrating these luminaries with Variety.”

Lifetime is the Presenting Partner of the event and Purina is the Premier Partner of the event.

Exclusive, curated gift bags will be given to honorees and guests at the event with entertainment, beauty, health and fashion products, from companies including Sol de Janeiro, Elemis, OUAI, Bombas, Tarte Cosmetics, Supergoop!, Barry’s and more.
