Annette Bening, who recently starred in Netflix’s biopic “Nyad,” will receive a special Golden Medallion tribute award from the Telluride Film Festival on Jan. 6, 2024. Meg Ryan will present the award to her at Netflix’s Tudum Theater in Los Angeles. The event will also feature a conversation focused on her career trajectory, which Bening’s “Nyad” co-star Jodie Foster will moderate.
Due to the actors strike, Bening was unable to accept the honor at the Telluride Film Festival in September, marking the first time Telluride has presented an honor outside of the dates of the festival. Previous Golden Medallion recipients include Cate Blanchett, Anthony Hopkins and Kate Winslet.
Bening was recently nominated for a Golden Globe for portraying Diana Nyad. She has also received Oscar nominations for “The Grifters,” “American Beauty,” “Being Julia” and “The Kids Are All Right.”

Attorney Gloria Allred entered the 15th floor conference room of her law offices on Wilshire Boulevard earlier this week and took a seat behind a cluster of microphones cubed with logos from local, national and international news organizations: CNN, Reuters, Fox11, ABC7, Ktla, Inside Edition, Estrella TV and more.
“Today we’re filing a lawsuit against USC,” she declared solemnly, as camera shutters clicked and flash units fired.
It was Allred in her element, which is to say the famed lawyer skillfully addressing the media in a cause related to women’s rights, in this case a student who alleges USC gynecologist Dr. George Tyndall sexually violated her during a 2016 medical exam.
“We allege sexual battery in violation of California Civil Code 1708.5, also battery, gender violence in violation of California Civil Code 52.4, negligent hiring and retention,” Allred told the assembled reporters as her client sat next to her.

Famed women’s rights attorney Gloria Allred, an ardent foe of President Trump, might not welcome a comparison to him. But there is one thing they share in common: a mastery of the media.
As witnessed in the Netflix documentary Seeing Allred, now contending for Emmy nominations, when Allred calls a news conference on behalf of a client, reporters never fail to assemble. But filmmakers Roberta Grossman and Sophie Sartain point to what they say is a key distinction between Trump and Allred.
“I think it’s true that they both know how to use the media to their own ends, but the question is, what is the end?” Grossman tells Deadline. “Gloria is not using the media to call attention to herself—or only to herself insofar as when she accrues power through the media then that gets translated to her clients. She’s doing it in the service...

Allred, who had gone up against Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein and Donald Trump, is captured in a new film arriving at a highly opportune time
Early on in Seeing Allred, Roberta Grossman and Sophie Sartain’s documentary on the controversial lawyer Gloria Allred, the fierce equal rights advocate grooms herself for the camera in her oceanfront home, grabs a red blazer from her color-coordinated closet – mostly St John, size two – and speeds off towards the city in her black Porsche. “Power only understands power,” declares Allred, her maxim for decades of warfare that have seen her get called shrill, unliked, a media hound, and a lying, money-hungry ghoul.

Even if you don’t know exactly what infamous women’s rights lawyer Gloria Allred does, you have likely gleaned a few things from the cultural consciousness about her: She’s loud, attention-hungry and in “it” for the money. At least, that’s what numerous talk-show commentators and the U.S. president would like you to believe. Directors Roberta Grossman and Sophie Sartain, then, had an almost easy task of revealing the real Allred in their Netflix documentary “Seeing Allred”: if we really know nothing about the woman, then we’re certain to be surprised. And in this film, pleasantly so. The film opens with Allred selecting...

Seeing Allred, Sophie Sartain and Roberta Grossman's documentary about outspoken lawyer Gloria Allred's passionate advocacy, just had its debut at the Sundance Film Festival, and it seems like the film came at the right time.
With the rise of the #MeToo and Time's Up movements, women in entertainment and all over the world are starting to see change happening. But as executive producer Marta Kauffman told The Hollywood Reporter, the fight isn’t over yet.

Utterly and passionately hagiographic, the documentary Seeing Allred presents 96 minutes of reasons to stand and cheer for celebrated feminist lawyer Gloria Allred.
That means, of course, that for ultra-conservative lovers of Netflix documentaries, it's doubtful that Seeing Allred is going to dramatically change any opinions about her.
For people with more tempered views on the notorious attorney, Sophie Sartain and Roberta Grossman's documentary leaves a lot of questions unasked and tiptoes around plenty of other relevant conversations, but in its presentation of a career-in-full, it advocates persuasively for this advocate.

"There is a war on women... Women depend on me to be strong." Netflix has debuted the first trailer for a documentary titled Seeing Allred, premiering at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival this month. Directed by doc filmmakers Sophie Sartain & Roberta Grossman, the film profiles activist and women's rights attorney Gloria Allred, who has become even more prominent in the last few years with so many high profile sexual assault cases. The doc features key interviews with Gloria Steinem, Don Lemon, Alan Dershowitz, Allred's daughter Lisa Bloom and many others. Seeing Allred is described as "a portrait of a woman everyone thinks they know, at a time when women need her the most." This looks like a powerful, timely, very important film that goes beyond just profiling the life of a candid activist, by also holding up a mirror to society today.

Dr. Lexie Grey is back! Well, what I really mean is actress Chyler Leigh will be returning to the small screen for the NBC comedy pilot Holding Patterns. The series will follow “a group of friends whose lives are altered after surviving a plane crash.” And no, I’m not kidding. Leigh has been cast as “Leah, the irresponsible, absent-minded, perpetually late slacker. Her life’s a mess and she lacks direction, but she’s not a loser; she’s intelligent, funny, and genuinely values her friends, even when sarcastically mocking them.”
