The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures' gala in Los Angeles, now in its fourth year, was a veritable showcase of cinematic splendor on Saturday night. With a "black tie" dress code, this prestigious evening celebrated the illustrious careers of 92-year-old legend Rita Moreno, rising star Paul Mescal, and acclaimed director Quentin Tarantino. It provided a golden opportunity for celebrities to channel their inner Hollywood glamour.
