LACMA’s Art + Film Gala

Los Angeles, Nov. 2

Art and Soul

LACMA’s ninth Art + Film

gala earned the “Met Gala

of the West” nickname for

its A-list mix of fashionistas

(thanks to sponsor Gucci),

movie stars (Leonardo

DiCaprio, Jared Leto)

and museum backdrop

($4.6 million was raised).

“It’s very chic and a dif-

ferent group of people,”

says Salma Hayek, who

singled out honorees

Alfonso Cuarón (1) and

artist Betye Saar (5). “It’s

a rough moment we’re in

— a year to the elections,

California is on fire, and it

all can get you down,” said

Liz Goldwyn. “It’s nice to

come here and experience

joie de vivre.” After dinner,

Billie Eilish (4) introduced

Anderson .Paak (3), who

gave a nightcap perfor-

mance. “It’s so much more

than a fashion moment,”

added Yara Shahidi (6)

of the Met Gala nod. “It’s

fashion supporting film,

supporting art, supporting

music — and all mediums.”

Oscars of Science

Despite the ongoing

controversy surrounding

political ads on Facebook,

Mark Zuckerberg (10)

took center stage at

the Breakthrough Prize

ceremony and was teased

by host James Corden

as being among “the

smartest minds and the

worst haircuts in history.”

Dubbed the “Oscars of

Science,” the event, of

which Zuckerberg and his

wife, Priscilla Chan, are

sponsors, awarded more

than $20 million in recogni-

tion of achievements in

science and math this year.

A-list presenters included

Drew Barrymore (11) and

Allison Janney, and Lenny

Kravitz (10) and will.i.am

took the stage for the

evening’s performances.

Outside the NASA Ames

Research Center, Edward

Norton (12) spoke of

the award’s importance,

saying that kids tend

to look up to celebrities

rather than scientists and

to “create a ceremony

around that — at the same

level of the Academy

Awards — is a great idea.”
