Meryl Streep, Oprah, Michael B. Jordan to be honored at Academy Museum's 2023 gala

LOS ANGELES — The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures will pay tribute to Meryl Streep, Oprah Winfrey, Michael B. Jordan and Sofia Coppola in its annual fundraising gala on Oct. 14, the museum announced Tuesday.
The Academy Museum Gala has become a key fundraising event for the Los Angeles movie museum since its opening in 2021. This year's event, the third such gala, received a greenlight from the striking actors and writers guilds. 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.
"We are excited to gather again at our third annual Academy Museum Gala to celebrate the power, global impact, and indelible importance of cinema," said Jacqueline Stewart, director and president of the Academy Museum, in a statement.
Julia Roberts, Tilda Swinton, Steve McQueen and Miky Lee were last year's honorees. The A-list-studded gala reportedly raised $10 million for the museum.
After years of delays, the $484 million, Renzo Piano-designed Academy Museum has established itself as a cultural mainstay in Los Angeles since opening in September 2021. It encompasses a 300,000-square-foot campus, which includes two buildings and spans seven stories, on the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles.
The Academy Museum is "the largest museum in the United States devoted to the arts, sciences, and artists of moviemaking" and "tells complete stories of moviemaking — celebratory, educational, and sometimes critical or uncomfortable," according to its website.
