The debut for the Slammy Awards was on December 1987. However they did not have a category for "Woman of the Year" until the second year. This took place on December 1988 at Caesars Atlantic City in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The winner of the award was Miss Elizabeth who beat out Sherri Martel, The Fabulous Moolah, Dolly Parton and Yoko Ono. The award was presented by The Honky Tonk Man and Jimmy Hart.
It varies from year to year. Sometimes the presenter is the Best Director winner from the previous year. Other times, the presenter is an actor or actress or esteemed director. When Martin Scorsese won the 2006 Best Director award for "The Departed," he was presented the Oscar by good friends and fellow directors Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola. When Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to win the award (for "The Hurt Locker"), the presenter was Barbra Streisand.
