The Sherry Lansing Leadership Award “recognizes leaders and philanthropists in entertainment and media.” The award was created “in honor of Sherry Lansing, the first woman to head a Hollywood studio.”

Helen was already a winner in 2010. Previous honorees also include Charlize Theron, Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Barbra Streisand, Oprah Winfrey and Viola Davis.

In a statement released ahead of the gala, editors-in-chief Nekesa Mumbi Moody and Maer Roshan called the Someone Like You singer “one of the greatest of all time.”

The full statement read: “We are extremely pleased that Adele will be our Sherry Lansing Leadership Award recipient at this year’s Women in Entertainment event.”

“Adele has had a groundbreaking career that has made her one of the all-time greats: a brilliant songwriter, a stunning singer, a world-class performer and an artist whose talents know no bounds.”

“She has set standards not only as a female performer, but also as a performer.” Her awards – from multiple Grammys to Emmys and Oscars – are testament to this.”
