The Fourth Annual Academy Museum Gala took place on October 19 in Los Angeles, celebrating film and fashion in a black-tie event. This prestigious gathering honored notable figures in the film industry, including veteran actress Rita Moreno, Gladiator II star Paul Mescal, and acclaimed director Quentin Tarantino, who received the Icon Award, the Vantage Award, and the Luminary Award, respectively.

The gala aims to raise funds for the Academy Museum's exhibitions, educational initiatives, and public programs. Rolex, a founding supporter of the museum, provided significant backing for the event. This year's gala was co-chaired by Academy Museum Trustee Dr. Eric Esrailian, Academy Award-nominated actress and producer Salma Hayek Pinault, Academy Award-winning actress Nicole Kidman, actress and director Eva Longoria, and filmmaker Tyler Perry.

The red carpet was a highlight of the evening, featuring a dazzling array of stars, including members of the Kardashian clan. The event attracted Hollywood's biggest names, showcasing stunning black-tie fashion that captivated onlookers.

The Academy Museum Gala, now in its fourth year, serves not only as a fundraiser but also as a celebration of cinematic talent. This year, honoree Paul Mescal received the Vantage Award for his contributions as an emerging artist, while Rita Moreno added the Icon Award to her impressive collection of accolades, and Quentin Tarantino was recognized with the Luminary Award.

With a blend of film and philanthropy, the gala has become a significant event in Hollywood, often compared to the Met Gala for its star-studded red carpet. Co-chairs Kidman, Hayek, Longoria, Perry, and Esrailian were joined by a host committee that included stars like Kirsten Dunst, Ariana Grande, Zoë Kravitz, Demi Moore, Saoirse Ronan, and Jennifer Lawrence. The evening was marked by stunning fashion, showcasing looks from the spring 2025 runways, exquisite jewelry, and statement watches, setting the stage for the upcoming awards season.
