SISTER, SISTER: "You are the sister I always wanted, and I wanted so much lucky to be able to play a sister in 'Euphoria' with you and that you can be my best friend," Sydney Sweeney told Maude Apatow.

Sweeney was among eight women honored, the others being Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Yeoh, Ariana DeBose, Zoë Kravitz (who was not present), Anne Hathaway, Issa Rae and Olivia Wilde.

Nominated for two Emmy Awards this year, for her roles in "Euphoria" and "The White Lotus" , Sweeney said his success came after years of rejection. Reading a letter to herself younger, she said: "'Turn that negativity and pain into motivation. Be kind to yourself as you grow and allow forgiveness when you fail. ”

Hosted by Nick Kroll and held at the Getty Center in Los Angeles, CA on Monday, attendees include presenters Charlize Theron, Naomi Watts, Mindy Kaling, Keke Palmer, Kristen Bell, Kerry Washington and Kate Berlant, who introduced Wilde.

Wilde, actress and director of "Don't Worry Darling", also spoke about the power of resilience .

"We are facing a very massive opposing force which for centuries has been trying to contain," Wilde said. "And when one of us backs down, we all back down. So no matter how much the patriarchy relies on us to cut each other off in order to weaken our collective power, we We have to resist the urge to play by their selfish rules and remind the world, and especially our daughters, that we are not so easily manipulated."

DeBose got emotional as she took the mic. She thanked Washington, who introduced her. The two worked together on "The Prom", before DeBose's success in "West Side Story".

"She was literally like, 'Hi, I'm Kerry. I'm here for you.'… Not only did she make me feel like I belonged on this set, but she made me see that I actually had something to offer,” DeBose said.

DeBose received the first Amyris Impact Award, given to celebrate the impact she has had in outside of cinema by championing diversity, inclusion, equality and fairness.

"Impact is kind of what you make of it," she said to the crowd. "You can accept a compliment and let it feel safe or you can accept a negative comment and let it live in your heart forever. Or you could turn that negativity into fuel and throw it into the fire of your creativity." /p>
