Jordan and Sofia Coppola in its annual fundraising gala on October 14, the museum announced on Tuesday. The Academy Museum Gala has become a key fundraising event for the Los Angeles movie museum since its opening in 2021.

SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild have limited what promotion activities their members can do during the ongoing work stoppages. Streep, Winfrey, Jordan and Coppola will each be given awards celebrating their careers at the gala, which is being co-chaired by Ava DuVernay, Ryan Murphy, Halle Berry and museum trustee Eric Esrailian. Paul Rudd and Meryl Streep Bring the Dance Floor to Life on the Sets of Only Murders In The Building Season 3!
