Charlize Theron, John Carpenter and Colman Domingo were honored as Hollywood gathered for a night of film, fashion and a special performance by Swift.
It was a celebration of Hollywood past and present at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on Saturday night, where stars gathered to honor three of the industry’s leading figures — John Carpenter, Charlize Theron and Colman Domingo.
The sixth annual gala brought together actors, filmmakers and fashion personalities, with guests including Demi Moore, Kim Kardashian, A$AP Rocky, Kate Hudson, Jacob Elordi, Sabrina Carpenter and Pamela Anderson. The evening, presented in partnership with Rolex, raised more than $14 million to support the museum’s exhibitions, educational initiatives and public programming.
On the red carpet, horror was a recurring topic of conversation, given the opening of the museum’s new exhibition, “The Horror Show,” and its recognition of Carpenter, the filmmaker behind, among others, “Halloween,” “The Thing” and “Escape From New York.”
“My dad was in ‘The Shining,’ so I feel like I really identify with Danny,” said the actor, son of Jack Nicholson, with a laugh, referring to the young boy in Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 classic. “I feel in part like I was growing up in a horror film myself. So it’s too close to home for me often, but I do enjoy it.”
Dressed in a black suit by The Row, Nicholson was looking forward to reuniting with his “The Mosquito Bowl” castmates, including Nicholas Galitzine, Bill Skarsgård and Tom Francis.
“But my answer that I have to tell is that I’m excited to see Taylor Swift the most, obviously,” he smiled.
