#FIRSTLOOK: BRITTANY SNOW TO PRESENT IMPACT AWARD TO MALIN ȦKERMAN AT THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER GALA

Acclaimed film and television actor Brittany Snow will take the stage at The Hollywood Reporter Women in Entertainment Canada to present the IMPACT Award to Malin Ȧkerman in what promises to be one of the most memorable moments of the May 28, 2026 event at Toronto’s Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

Known for her dynamic performances across film and television, Snow brings both star power and a deep connection to the honouree, making her an especially meaningful presenter for this prestigious recognition.

Snow and Akerman co-star in the Netflix, Lionsgate and 3 Arts smash hit The Hunting Wives, where their on-screen chemistry and compelling performances have generated significant buzz and turned the series into a cultural phenomenon.

Their collaboration adds a personal dimension to the IMPACT Award presentation, underscoring a shared commitment to bold, character-driven storytelling and the kind of creative partnership that continues to propel the series’ unbridled success. The Hunting Wives season one is available for streaming on Crave in Canada, and will be released on Netflix in Canada on April 21, 2026.

The IMPACT Award recognizes Akerman’s outstanding career and influence across film and television, as well as her ability to lead with authenticity, versatility, and global appeal, while maintaining her Canadian roots.

As the Hollywood Reporter Women in Entertainment Canada continues to spotlight the voices defining the entertainment industry, Snow’s participation further elevates the gala — bringing together two accomplished artists in a celebration of talent, impact, and enduring creative influence on the world stage.

The IMPACT Award is presented in partnership with Lionsgate.
