Taylor Swift, Charlize Theron, Colman Domingo and Many More Stars Help Academy Museum Gala Raise Over $14M
The Academy Museum Gala once again brought out some of Hollywood’s biggest names for its annual fundraising event on Saturday, this year raising over $14 million and landing Taylor Swift as its headlining performer.
The sixth annual event — which is put on in partnership with Rolex and supports the museum’s exhibitions, education initiatives and public programming — handed out special awards to Charlize Theron, Colman Domingo and John Carpenter, while also welcoming a slew of A-listers to back up its nickname as the “Met Gala of the West Coast.”
The gala was co-chaired by Tom Ford, Robert Rodriguez, Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw, and saw Jamie Lee Curtis and Rodriguez present Carpenter with the Luminary Award. Sigourney Weaver was on hand to present the Icon Award to Theron, and following dinner, Judd Apatow and Ford gave the Vantage Award to Domingo.
