Country music trailblazer Mickey Guyton is set to perform at the 51st annual Gracies Awards Gala on Tuesday, May 19, at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif.
Actress Andie MacDowell will receive the Gracies Icon Award. Actress, writer and producer Yvette Nicole Brown, best known for her role in Community, will host the event. The awards are presented by the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation (AWMF).
Guyton, 42, has received four Grammy nominations, including back-to-back nods for best country solo performance in 2021-22 for “Black Like Me” and “Remember Her Name,” respectively. In 2021, she performed “Black Like Me” on the Grammy telecast. She has received two Academy of Country Music Awards nominations and one at the Country Music Association Awards. In 2021, she co-hosted the ACM Awards with Keith Urban and performed “Hold On” on the telecast.
MacDowell has received four Golden Globe nods, most recently in 2022 for Maid, a Netflix limited series in which she acted alongside her daughter Margaret Qualley. Her previous nods were for her early hits Sex, Lies and Videotape, Green Card and Four Weddings and a Funeral.
“Andie MacDowell belongs in the company of the legends who have carried this award before her,” Becky Brooks, president of AWMF said in a statement. “She has shown us what it looks like to lead with integrity, to grow with intention, and to stay fully, unapologetically herself, and she has done it in a way that has opened doors for women across the industry.”
