The Academy Museum hosted its star-studded signature gala<\/a> on Saturday night, honoring Pen\u00e9lope Cruz, Bruce Springsteen, Bowen Yang and Walter Salles while also raising over $12 million to support its exhibitions, education initiatives and public programming.<\/p>\n The fifth annual event, presented in partnership with Rolex, was co-chaired by Jon M. Chu, Common, Viola Davis and Julius Tennon, Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey, Jennifer Hudson, and Academy Museum Trustee Alejandro Ram\u00edrez Maga\u00f1a. It kicked off with remarks from the Downeys before handing out this year\u2019s awards.<\/p>\n More from The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n Wim Wenders presented I\u2019m Still Here director Salles with the Luminary Award, given to an artist whose singular contributions have expanded the creative possibilities of cinema, and Chu honored Yang with the Vantage Award, for an emerging artist or scholar who is helping to contextualize and challenge dominant narratives around cinema. Zoe Salda\u00f1a presented the Icon Award \u2014 for an artist whose career has had a significant global cultural impact \u2014 to Cruz, and Martin Scorsese gave Springsteen the inaugural\u00a0Legacy Award, for an artist whose body of work has inspired generations of storytellers and deeply influenced our culture.<\/p>\n Springsteen, who has been making the Hollywood rounds in support of his biopic Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, also closed out the night with a special performance \u2014 following an intro by George Clooney \u2014 of his hits \u201cStreets of Philadelphia,\u201d \u201cAtlantic City\u201d and \u201cLand of Hope and Dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n The A-list guests included a number of Oscar winners along with those who are on this year\u2019s awards circuit<\/a>, including Adam Sandler (in a rare suited-up moment), Adrien Brody, Ayo Edebiri, Channing Tatum, Dwayne Johnson, Jacob Elordi, Jeremy Allen White, Jeremy Strong, Joel Edgerton, Kate Hudson, Kathryn Bigelow, Mikey Madison, Regina Hall, Ryan Coogler, Sydney Sweeney and Will Arnett.<\/p>\n This year\u2019s Academy Museum Gala also welcomed a strong contingent of music stars and internet favorites, including Addison Rae, Charli XCX, Ed Sheeran, Hailey Bieber, Hilary Duff, Kendall Jenner, Jenna Ortega, Olivia Rodrigo, Role Model and Selena Gomez.<\/p>\n The event\u2019s red carpet \u2014 which this year went blue \u2014 is always a major fashion moment, with this year\u2019s buzziest look likely being Kim Kardashian in a nude face-covering mask, paired with a matching strapless corseted gown from the\u00a0Maison Margiela Fall 2025 Couture\u00a0collection. She was the last one to arrive on the carpet and needed help to navigate her way inside. Strong also turned heads with his bright red suit<\/a>, matching sunglasses and lightened hair, a color palette that he said paid tribute to Springsteen\u2019s Nebraska album.<\/p>\n Newlyweds Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco made their first appearance as a married couple<\/a> at the event \u2014 sneaking off right after taking their carpet photos \u2014 while Demi Moore and Lucy Liu\u00a0shared some laughs on the photo line, and Scorsese and Ben Stiller each brought their daughters as dates.<\/p>\n And in celebration of this year\u2019s films, The Hollywood Reporter asked guests their favorite of 2025 so far, with Sinners, One Battle After Another and Hamnet the most common answers. Stars also offered up what prop or costume from their own past projects they would like to see put in the museum, as Hudson suggested Penny Lane\u2019s Almost Famous jacket, Chu pitched Glinda\u2019s bubble dress or one of Elphaba\u2019s upcoming looks from Wicked: For Good, Eli Roth teased a torture chair from his film Hostel \u2014 joking it was a nice fit for the families who visit the museum \u2014 and Da\u2019Vine Joy Randolph named her glasses from The Holdovers.<\/p>\n Best of The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for THR’s Newsletter<\/a>.
