The 49th annual Gracie Awards winners are here. Presented by the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation, the awards honor achievements by women across media, from TV performances to behind-the-scenes action.

Among the winners are TODAY and "The Kelly Clarkson Show," as well as performances from Nicole Kidman and Shanola Hampton; work from Michelle Obama and Maria Shriver; and shows like "Yellowjackets" and "The Marvelous Mr. Maisel."

The Grand Award, which "signifies a distinct level of achievement, acknowledging the extraordinary talent, dedication, and production involved in creating these exceptional pieces" was given to "Cancer Straight Talk Podcast from MSK."

In a statement given to TODAY.com, the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation provided insight as to how the awards are chosen: "The Gracie Awards undergo a rigorous evaluation process by experts across various media platforms. Each entry is independently assessed based on criteria such as compelling delivery, engaging content, and innovative approach."
