OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network will air Essenceโs 11th annual โBlack Women in Hollywood Awardsโ as a primetime special event on Saturday, March 3 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.ย For over a decade, the star-studded celebration has been at the forefront of honoring Hollywoodโs most creative and accomplished African-American female visionaries, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes.
The annual Oscar-week awards celebration, which will air for the fourth year in a row on OWN, will honor four Hollywood Game-Changers: actress/award-winning playwright Danai Gurira (โBlack Pantherโ); comedian/award-winning actress Tiffany Haddish (โGirls Tripโ), actress/activist Tessa Thompson (โWestworldโ) and Emmy award-winning writer/actress Lena Waithe (โMaster of Noneโ). This yearโs event, held at the famed Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, will shift back to a daytime luncheon.
