The awards ceremony that took place at the Beverly Hills Hilton last night looked, at first glance, like any other awards ceremony: lots of celebrities (Holly Hunter, Sofia Coppola, the cast of Mad Men), a big ballroom (the Golden Globes are also held there), and some forced chuckles for the host between the handing out of awards. Only it was different. The audience, the honorees, the emcees were all (OK, well, mostly) women, gathered for the 40th annual Women in Film Crystal & Lucy Awards.
