After being rescheduled from its original September date — postponed due to the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas War — the 2023 Academy Museum Gala took place Dec. 3 in Los Angeles. Stars including Natalie Portman, Simu Liu, Dua Lipa, Lupita Nyong’o and Selena Gomez walked the red and pink carpet that ran from the entrance and led underneath the museum’s Sphere building. Many of the stars making an appearance have films that are looking to be top contenders in the Oscar race; the benefit has become, for many, a must-do pit stop along the awards circuit.
The evening — the third annual benefit for the movie museum, where current exhibits spotlight the works of director John Waters and Lourdes Portillo as well as the 1991 film Boyz n the Hood — honored four luminaries of the entertainment industry: Meryl Streep, Michael B. Jordan, Oprah Winfrey and Sofia Coppola.
Streep received the Icon Award, given to an artist whose career had a notable influence worldwide; Michael B. Jordan, with his sister Jamila Jordan accepting on his behalf, was honored with the Vantage Award, given to an emerging artist or scholar working to challenge and contextualize existing dominant narratives around film; Winfrey received the Pillar Award, recognizing leadership and support for the Academy Museum; Coppola received the Visionary Award, given to an artist or scholar whose innovations have advanced film as an art.
The co-chairs for the evening are Ava DuVernay, Halle Berry, Ryan Murphy and Dr. Eric Esrailian. One of the big moments on the carpet was when Streep and Winfrey stopped to pose together, holding hands for a joint photo. Below, see the best looks on the biggest stars at the 2023 Academy Museum Gala.
