The Stars Align at the Academy Museum
After nearly a decade of anticipation, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures will open on Thursday, September 30, in Los Angeles. To toast the occasion, on Saturday night, a room of COVID-compliant Oscar winners, historymakers, and hopefuls took a trip down the green carpet, a right past Dorothy’s ruby slippers, and a left under a massive fiberglass shark from Jaws, before crossing over the Barbra Streisand bridge to the top floor of the Renzo Piano–designed glass dome for the opening-night gala. Britt Hennemuth and Greg Williamswere also there to capture the moment for Vanity Fair—including a Lady Gaga rendition of “New York, New York” that inspired Cher to stand, Tiffany Haddish to twerk, and Regina King to scream, “We love you, Gaga!”
Elsewhere in HWD, Richard Lawson reviews Joel Coen’s new take on Macbeth, starring Denzel Washington; Yohana Desta interviews the legendary Ethiopian filmmaker Haile Gerima; Joy Press chats with Warner Bros. chairman and CEO Ann Sarnoff; and Savannah Walsh recommends what to watch on Netflix in October.
