Viola Davis, Priyanka Chopra and More Turn Out for ELLE's 6th Annual Women In TV Celebration

It's a great time to be a woman on TV. While Hollywood continues to take on criticism for its lack of diversity in roles and executive positions, TV—in its rapidly expanding streaming platforms—has provided roles for women that look like real life: they come from diverse backgrounds and their lives are complicated, messy, and fun.

On Wednesday night at the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood, ELLE honored over 50 of these women in TV, including its February cover stars: Viola Davis, Priyanka Chopra, Olivia Wilde, Taraji P. Henson, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. As Robbie Myers, ELLE's EIC said when she addressed the room last night, "Powerful women in and on television—because of the nature and intimacy of the medium—are the biggest influence on how women see themselves, and how the world sees women." Indeed.
