Victoria Gold, formerly co-publisher of the Hollywood Reporter, will join Variety next month as senior VP of entertainment and special projects.
The move marks a homecoming for Gold, who previously spent eight years with Variety prior to her 14-year tenure at the Reporter, where she rose to co-publisher in 2021. In her new role, Gold will succeed Dawn Allen, the respected Variety sales executive who is retiring after a 35-year career.
“We are thrilled to have Victoria rejoin our winning team as the No. 1 entertainment business news organization in the world,” said Michelle Sobrino-Stearns, CEO and Group Publisher of Variety. “Victoria’s expertise in the film industry coupled with her history with Variety makes her a natural choice for the role.”
Gold’s appointment is effective May 15. In announcing the transition, Sobrino-Stearns paid tribute to Allen and the legacy she leaves at the industry’s most-read entertainment news outlet.

Kerry Washington was also recognized with the Equity in Entertainment Award, honoring her work amplifying the voices of underrepresented communities in the entertainment industry.
Inside the breakfast — this year held at the Beverly Hills Hotel — Will Ferrell kicked off the event, declaring right off the bat, “Isn’t it just time for women to run the planet? I’m serious, I’m not just trying to placate you I swear, but I don’t know what else to do because we, men, have run the show since what, 10,000 BC, and we’re not doing so good.

CAA’s Ted Chervin joined The Hollywood Reporter senior business editor Ashley Cullins on Wednesday for a keynote conversation at THR’s annual Power Business Managers event to discuss the intertwining of Hollywood and the sports world.
Chervin acknowledged that there’s been a breakdown of barriers between sports and entertainment, and even within entertainment itself, because of “a combination of the democratization of information with social media and other ways that people have of accessing both information and opportunities,” as well as the realization that sports is, essentially, entertainment.
The success of Ted Lasso and the resulting increased American interest in soccer was one such example, as Chervin — who counts Ted Lasso co-creator Bill Lawrence as his first client — recalled that when trying to sell the show they encountered “a lot of skepticism.”
“Nobody wanted it: Netflix passed, Amazon passed, HBO Max passed, Apple bought it I would say reluctantly.

“As you can tell, there’s a writers strike on, so I didn’t write shit,” Taika Waititi joked upon grabbing the mic at The Hollywood Reporter’s second annual Raising Our Voices luncheon on Wednesday, teasing he initially had chatGPT take a first pass at his speech and it quickly pointed out Hollywood’s issues in diversity and representation. “Now if AI can do that in eight seconds and it gets it, what’s taking so long? This thing can tell me what the problem is and what we need to do to fix it in eight seconds, and there’s a lot of people in this town who still don’t get it and still kind of refuse to get it and want to be told.”
Waititi, who also appeared on this week’s THR cover, served as keynote speaker for the luncheon, where Eva Longoria and Niecy Nash-Betts were honored as 2023 Trailblazers.

CAA chief metaverse officer Joanna Popper knew Anthony Hopkins’ first non-fungible token drop would be popular but didn’t anticipate it selling out in seven minutes.
Popper joined The Hollywood Reporter senior business editor Ashley Cullins on Wednesday in a keynote Q&a at THR’s annual Power Business Managers event. She discussed topics ranging from the evolution of the internet to capitalizing on opportunities in the metaverse to the Bored Ape Yacht Club.
Popper explained that the metaverse is the “next wave of the internet.” First was the dotcom boom and then came the “social, mobile, cloud disruption where we started to use our phones for everything.” She said this wave will be “more interactive, more immersive, more 3D and more real time.” It’s not gaming, she elaborated, but a “gamified experience” that emphasizes connection.
