Academy Museum of Motion Pictures 2nd Annual Gala Honoring Julia Roberts Presented by Rolex

The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, which held its second annual gala, raised $10 million to support the museum’s access, education, and programming initiatives. Dedicated to the arts, sciences, and artists of moviemaking, the gala was generously presented by Rolex—founding supporter and official watch partner of the Academy Museum. The celebratory evening was a star-studded affair that honored four Hollywood icons for their contributions to film both past and present. George Clooney presented Academy Award-winning actor Julia Roberts with the inaugural Academy Museum Gala Icon Award for her decades-long career in cinema and her significant global cultural impact. The Visionary Award was presented to Academy Award-winning actor Tilda Swinton by longtime friend and collaborator Luca Guadagnino for her extensive body of work that has advanced the art of cinema. This year’s Vantage Award was presented by Daniel Kaluuya to Academy Award-winning director, producer, and writer Sir Steve McQueen for his work helping to contextualize and challenge dominant narratives around cinema.

Now in its second year, the Academy Museum Gala is an annual celebration that reflects the museum’s mission to advance the understanding, celebration, and preservation of cinema and to expand knowledge and conversation about cinema as a global art form and cultural force. The event was attended by some of Hollywood’s most prolific and notable actors, filmmakers, and industry executives as well as members of the event’s host committee who came together to support the museum. Guests included: Adrien Brody, Alana Haim, Alexa Demie, Amal and George Clooney, BJ Novak, Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham, Christina Ricci, Derek Blasberg, Diego Boneta, Eddie Redmayne, Eiza González, Emma Stone, Este Haim, Evan Ellis Ross, Gia Coppola, Hailey Bieber, Jeremy Scott, Jessica Chastain, Joe Jonas, Judd Apatow, Kaia Gerber, Keke Palmer, Kerry Washington, Laura Dern, Leslie Mann, Lena Dunham, Lily Collins, Mindy Kaling, Natasha Lyonne, Olivia Wilde, Rebel Wilson, Academy Museum trustee Ryan Murphy, Selena Gomez, Selma Blair, Sophie Turner, Spike and Tonya Lewis Lee, and many more. Following a cocktail hour in Fanny’s Restaurant, the RAISE choir led guests to a Wolfgang Puck-inspired dinner on the Dolby Family Terrace. In a room inspired by the Hollywood landmark restaurant, Perino’s, guests were treated to a special musical performance by the iconic Diana Ross.
