That said, Cimorelli were ideal and stellar musical performers
at The WIN Awards 2010. This singing sensation consists of six, smiling
sisters who blend their voices in perfect unison as they perform today’s
pop hits in an a capella style. In April, 2010 Universal Records signed
this stellar sister act to the delight of these lifetime collaborators
who are: Christina (20), Katherine (18), Lisa (17), Amy (15), Lauren (12),
and Dani (10).
Since 1993, Women’s Image Network (WIN) has produced

Inqlings: Suzanne Roberts
a WIN-ner
January 18, 2011|By Michael Klein, Inquirer
Columnist
Suzanne Roberts, the actress, TV host, and Comcast matriarch, is in Santa
Monica, Calif., to pick up a lifetime-achievement award Tuesday from the Los Angeles-based
Women's Image Network (WIN).
Roberts, 89, will share a stage with Elizabeth Taylor, who also will get an
award. Presenters include a gaggle of red-carpet-walkers, including Diane Lane,
Jennifer Aniston, Maggie Smith, Jane Lynch, Susan Sarandon, Jada Pinkett Smith,
Carl Reiner, and Mickey Rooney.
Not a bad comeback for Roberts, who broke her neck last summer in a freak
accident at home and underwent emergency surgery. She is the award's first recipient
from Pennsylvania and is the oldest recipient, to boot.

In
the midst of awards season comes an awards show with a greater purpose
* by Sarah Beston, Shine Staff,
on Fri Jan 14, 2011 1:13pm PST
With the glitz and glam of awards season
comes an award show refreshingly different from all of the others. And
while it may not compare to the glam of the Oscars, the excitement of the
Golden Globes or the hype of the Grammys, the Women’s Image Network
(WIN) Awards stand for something more than who is wearing what on the red
carpet.
WIN founder, Phyllis Stuart agrees: “While
it's glamorous to walk a red carpet, The WIN Awards are less about awards
and more about media advocacy. That said, our diverse 2010 nominee list
shows that women are able to express richness and depth at any age and
that their value transcends their “beauty” or the number of
candles on their birthday cake. This year, The WIN Awards uniquely demonstrate
that Girls Are Great from Nine to Ninety as our youngest nominee, Joey
King was nine years old when filming Ramona And Beezus, and as our most
senior female, our Lifetime Achievement Honoree, Suzanne Roberts, is nearly
90 years old. By supporting The WIN Awards, which celebrate film and television
artists who create dimensional, female media images, you help advance positive
public opinion about the value of women and girls”.
Since 1993, The WIN Awards have been celebrating
outstanding actors, artists, musicians, athletes and leaders who promote
gender parity through creativity and leadership.
This year’s awards, to be presented
on January 18th on the Broad Stage in Santa Monica, CA, will pay tribute
to two-time Academy Award winning actress and activist, Dame Elizabeth
Taylor. Taylor, in addition to staring in over fifty films has proven herself
as a leader in AIDS activism, including her founding role in the American
Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR), and establishment of The Elizabeth
Taylor AIDS Foundation (ETAF). Dame Taylor's National Velvet co-star, Mickey
Rooner, will present Taylor's tribute and accept the award on her behalf.
WIN will also present award-winning actress,
producer, television host and arts patron, Suzanne Roberts with its Lifetime
Achievement award. Breakthrough YouTube sensation “Cimorelli” will
be performing at the event. The group features six sisters ages 10-20 best
known for their extraordinary, multi-part harmonies who are currently recording
their major label debut album. Selena Gomez, Sally Kirkland, Rose McGowan,
Carl Reiner, Sara Rue, Kahi Lee and Lance Bass will also be on hand as
presenters, famed comedienne Wendy Liebman will host and country recording
artist Stephanie Quayle will perform.
Thirteen competing outstanding film and
television nominees will also receive WIN awards this year. The 2010 nominee
list includes films and shows such as Temple Grandin, Glee, Made In Dagenham,
Capturing Mary, Secretariat, You Don't Know Jack, and actresses Diane Lane,
Sally Hawkins, Hope Davis, Jennifer Aniston, Dame Maggie Smith, Jane Lynch,
Susan Sarandon, Jada Pinkett Smith, Sasha Alexander and Selena Gomez.

WIN
Awards Founder Phyllis Stuart ‘Bluffs Way to Success’
by Mari Cartel
on January 10, 2011 · HealthBistroLifeScript.com
 Phyllis
Stuart knew she was onto something when she founded the Women Image Network
(WIN) — she just couldn’t have known how time-consuming and
costly it would be.
WIN began as a simple women’s advocacy foundation, but didn’t
raise enough money to implement projects. Still, Stuart was able to spearhead
the foundation into an award luncheon for the likes of famed Spider-Man
producer Laura Ziskin.
“She’s one of the women on whose shoulders I stand,” Stuart
says. “These women in the ‘70s really had to fight. They were very
much in the minority of a male-dominated business, and they had to learn to get
along. I don’t know how they did it, but they broke through.”
And so did Stuart, as her small project grew. She eventually pitched her
WIN Awards to ABC and got it green lit – though she admits she winged
a lot of her proposal.
“I was asked questions, and I just bluffed my way through. ‘Was this
a clip show?’ and I said, ‘Yes it is.’ I did not know what
a clip show was and how expensive they are. I had to buy an hour of time and
raise $1.5 million, but we got the show on the air.”
This year the WIN Awards have a volume of notable women not only receiving
awards, but also presenting – and that’s a change for the better
that has made it all worthwhile for Stuart. The list of recipients and
nominees includes Dame Elizabeth Taylor, Jennifer Aniston, Susan Sarandon,
Jada Pinkett Smith, Jane Lynch and Dame Maggie Smith.
However, not all the studios were willing to supply her with screeners
(the movies distributed on DVD for award consideration). As a result, actress
Annette Bening, who has received kudos and has been recognized for her
performance by nearly every critics group in “The Kids Are All Right,” was
ineligible because Focus Features never sent the film out and no one in
the WIN organization had seen her film.
That was a huge disappointment for Stuart, but Bening, though confused
as to why she was overlooked, agreed to appear as a presenter.
“Annette was wondering why she wasn’t nominated, but it’s hard
to be the little engine that could,” Stuart says, but she’s also
pleased that the options for actresses have morphed considerably from the time
when women were cast in roles “as the babe, the bitch, the blonde or the
bimbo.”
Now, fans can get involved and even have a chance to attend the WIN Awards
via a contest.
“People just need to write down 200 words or less about why they value
dimensional female media images,” Stuart says. ”What they win is
a chance to interview one of our celebrities on the red carpet, tickets to the
show and the after party, and then their interview is shown on our YouTube channel.”

The WIN Awards take place Jan. 18 at The Broad Stage in Santa Monica, Calif.
Tickets are currently on sale.
