As Summer comes to a close, we're celebrating some of the most widely acclaimed voices who shaped this past year, from film to theater, to cooking and the written word.

First, one of the year's defining writers, Pullitzer Prize-winning Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha speaks to Christiane about his award-winning poems and the dire conditions his family members continue to face in Gaza since he managed to escape.

Then breakout star and Oscar winner Mikey Madison talks about playing a Brooklyn sex worker in "Anora" and how she prepared for the role which won her Best Actress at the Oscars.

Also, three-time James Beard nominee for Best Chef, Iranian-born Nasim Alikhani discusses her contemporary spin on Iranian cuisine, her journey to the U.S. and what it was like cooking for the Biden White House.

Plus, actors Jessica Hecht and Bill Irwin, stars of "Eureka Day," talk to Christiane about the Broadway play that satirizes vaccine skepticism and took home the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play.
