Jennifer Aniston and More Stars Honored

Jennifer Aniston, Holly Hunter, Catherine Hardwicke, Elizabeth Banks and more of Hollywood's finest ladies are recognized. It was a who's who of women in TV and film Friday night as Women in Film held its annual Crystal and Lucy awards. Comedienne Chelsea Handler hosted the festivities, as Jennifer Aniston was awarded the Crystal Award, which, according to the organization, "honors outstanding women who, through their endurance and the excellence of their work, have helped to expand the role of women within the entertainment industry." Holly Hunter was rewarded with the Lucy Award (presented to her by Jodie Foster), which is given to "women and men and their creative works that exemplify the extraordinary accomplishments [Lucille Ball] embodied; whose excellence and innovation have enhanced the perception of women through the medium of television." The Lucy Award is given in association with Ball's estate. Other honorees included 'Twilight' director Catherine Hardwicke, who received the Dorothy Arzner Director's Award, and Elizabeth Banks, who was awarded the MaxMara Face of the Future Award.
