The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures held its fifth annual star-studded fundraising gala Saturday at its Wilshire Boulevard campus. <\/p>\n

An unrecognizable Kim Kardashian, Selena Gomez, Demi Moore and Elle and Dakota Fanning were among the celebrity guests at the event, which debuted in 2021<\/a> upon the film museum\u2019s long-awaited opening. The gala raises funds for museum exhibitions, education initiatives and public programming. The Academy Museum collected over $12 million from the event.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s gala honorees included actor Pen\u00e9lope Cruz<\/a>, director Walter Salles<\/a>, comedian Bowen Yang<\/a> and musician Bruce Springsteen<\/a>, who was presented by Martin Scorsese with the inaugural Legacy Award and performed live at the ceremony. A biopic<\/a> about the rock legend, starring \u201cThe Bear\u2019s\u201d Jeremy Allen White, hits theaters Oct. 24. <\/p>\n

Springsteen and Cruz, the recipient of this year\u2019s Icon Award, are both Academy Award winners, the former for his original song \u201cStreets of Philadelphia\u201d \u2014 which he wrote for Tom Hanks\u2019 1993 legal drama \u201cPhiladelphia\u201d \u2014 and the latter for her role in \u201cVicky Cristina Barcelona\u201d (2008).<\/p>\n

Salles, presented by Wim Wenders with the Luminary Award for innovative filmmaking, last year gave Brazil its first Academy Award for international film with his moving family drama \u201cI\u2019m Still Here.\u201d Fernanda Torres was also nominated for her role as the Paiva family matriarch in the 2024 movie. <\/p>\n

Yang received from Jon M. Chu the Vantage Award<\/a>, \u201chonoring an artist or scholar who has helped to contextualize and challenge dominant narratives around cinema.\u201d The \u201cSNL\u201d darling and \u201cLas Culturistas\u201d podcast host will return as Glinda\u2019s sidekick Pfannee in \u201cWicked: For Good,\u201d hitting theaters Nov. 21. <\/p>\n

The gala 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.<\/p>\n

Gala attendees spared no expense with their donations or their ensembles, with Jenna Ortega wearing a futuristic Grace Ling halter top, Rachel Zegler channeling Old Hollywood in Tamara Ralph Couture, Olivia Rodrigo sporting vintage Giorgio Armani Priv\u00e9 and Eva Longoria rocking Elie Saab.<\/p>\n
