Yesterday while I was taking editor in chief Peter Bart to the woodshed for his sexist comments about Jane Campion and Kathryn Bigelow the paper that he runs, Variety, was about to honor a plethora of women (including both Campion and Bigelow) for their contributions as women working in the business in its annual “Women’s Impact Report” which this year included a luncheon.

A bunch of high profile women were honored for their charitable work including:

Maria Bello- women’s rights and genocide

Christina Aguilera- world hunger

Christina Applegate- breast cancer

Anne Hathaway- volunteerism

January Jones- protecting the oceans

Sigourney Weaver- non-profit theatre

Sherry Lansing & Laura Ziskin- cancer

Check out the full impact report for profiles of leading actors, directors, executives, creatives, agents, lawyers and many others.
