Annette Bening, Katie Holmes, CBS President Nina Tassler, director Pamela Fryman, and cinematographer Reed Morano have been recognized as leaders in their fields by Women in Film.

The nonprofit group honored the women Thursday at its annual Crystal and Lucy awards ceremony in Beverly Hills.

In accepting her award, Bening hinted at some interesting projects in the coming year. Holmes thanked her parents, who were in the audience, and husband Tom Cruise, “whose commitment to his work and family inspires me daily.”

Tassler oversees programming at CBS. Fryman is a director of How I Met Your Mother. Morano’s credits include 2008’s Frozen River.

Women in Film was established in 1973 to help women succeed in the entertainment industry by providing scholarships, classes, and other services and support.
