The glitz and glamour of Hollywood will converge at the fourth annual star-studded gala at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles on October 19, as it honours the exceptional contributions of Paul Mescal, Rita Moreno, and Quentin Tarantino to the world of cinema.
This fundraising event, celebrating the museum's third anniversary, aims to raise funds in support of museum exhibitions, education initiatives, and public programming, confirmed The Hollywood Reporter.
