Hollywood’s brightest stars gathered on Saturday for the fifth annual Academy Museum Gala — Los Angeles’s answer to the Met Gala. Held at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, the event raised funds for the museum’s exhibitions, education initiatives, and community programmes. Honourees included Bowen Yang, Penélope Cruz, Walter Salles, and Bruce Springsteen, who performed inside the museum after receiving the inaugural Legacy Award. The night delivered its usual dose of glamour with Something Extra fave Kerry Washington walking the carpet in Giorgio Armani. Here are the highlights.
