LOS ANGELES, October 19, 2025 – The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, which held its fifth annual gala tonight, raised over $12 million to support the museum’s exhibitions, education initiatives, and public programming, including screenings, K-12 programs, and access initiatives in service of the general public and the local community of Los Angeles. Dedicated to the arts, sciences, and artists of moviemaking, the gala was generously presented in partnership with Rolex—Founding Supporter and Official Watch Partner of the Academy Museum. The company has been with the museum since the beginning. Its recognition of excellence and achievement in cinema is the basis of its long partnership with the Academy. The gala was co-chaired by Jon M. Chu; Common; Viola Davis and Julius Tennon; Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey; Jennifer Hudson; and Academy Museum Trustee Alejandro Ramírez Magaña.

The celebratory evening, commemorating the acclaimed museum’s four-year anniversary, was a star-studded affair that honored four Hollywood icons for their contributions to film both past and present. Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey kicked off the programming for the evening, introducing Director and President of the Academy Museum, Amy Homma, who welcomed guests to the special fundraiser event before introducing Academy Museum board chair Olivier de Givenchy who toasted the honorees of the evening.

After the dinner service, Viola Davis and Julius Tennon made their way to the stage to welcome the next presenter Zoe Saldaña, who presented the Icon Award to Academy Award®-winning actress Penélope Cruz. The final award, the inaugural Legacy Award, was presented by Martin Scorsese to Academy Award®-winning singer, songwriter, and musician Bruce Springsteen. Before the night was over, George Clooney introduced a special musical performance by Bruce Springsteen, where he closed out the evening singing “Streets of Philadelphia,” “Atlantic City,” and “Land of Hope and Dreams.”

The Vantage Award honors an emerging artist or scholar who is helping to contextualize and challenge dominant narratives around cinema. The Icon Award celebrates an artist whose career has had a significant global cultural impact. The Luminary Award is given to an artist whose singular contributions have expanded the creative possibilities of cinema.

特朗普政府将为哈巴担任新泽西州最高检察官任期辩护

10月19日新泽西州特伦顿报道,联邦上诉法院将于10月20日审理关于特朗普总统的前律师哈巴(Alina Habba)是否自今年早些时候以来一直担任新泽西州最高联邦检察官举行听证会。 第三巡回上诉法院已安排在费城就哈巴的任命举行听证会。一位下级法院法官曾在今年8月份表示,哈巴的任命是通过“一系列新颖的法律和人事变动”完成的,她并非合法担任新泽西州的联邦检察官。 法官的命令称,哈巴自今年7月份以来的行为可能被宣布无效,但暂停了该命令,以便美国司法部可以上诉。 特朗普政府在10月20日听证会前的法庭简报中表示,根据允许哈巴担任第一助理检察官的联邦法规,哈巴正在合法地担任这一职务。哈巴是由特朗普政府任命的。 美国内华达州也出现了类似的情况,一名联邦法官取消了特朗普政府任命的内华达州联邦检察官的资格。 在哈巴案中,美国地区法官布兰恩(Matthew Brann)的裁决是在几名在新泽西州被控犯有联邦罪行的人,对哈巴任期的合法性提出质疑之后做出的。他们试图阻止指控,认为哈巴在120天的临时美国检察官任期结束后无权起诉他们的案件。 布兰恩法官的裁决称,特朗普总统的任命仍然受联邦法律规定的时间限制和权力分享规则的约束。 在特朗普总统连任之前,哈巴曾担任其刑事和民事诉讼的私人律师。在特朗普总统于3月任命她为联邦检察官之前,她曾短暂担任白宫顾问。 哈巴在被任命后不久的一次采访中表示,她希望帮助“让新泽西州变成红色”,这是检察官中罕见的公开政治表达,并表示她计划调查该州的民主党州长和司法部长。 随后,她对纽瓦克市长巴拉卡(Ras Baraka)提起非法侵入指控,指控其访问联邦移民拘留中心,但最终被撤销。 哈巴随后又以同一事件为由,指控民主党众议员麦克伊弗(LaMonica McIver)袭击他人。这是除腐败罪外,针对现任国会议员的罕见联邦刑事案件。麦克伊弗否认了这些指控,并拒不不认罪。此案仍在审理中。…

白宫高级官员称特朗普2024年在巴特勒遭遇暗杀事件,决定了特朗普赢得美国总统大选

10月19日华盛顿报道,一位白宫高级官员表示,2024年宾夕法尼亚州巴特勒市发生的针对特朗普总统的暗杀事件,决定了特朗普赢得了美国总统大选的胜利。 白宫总统人事办公室新任负责人斯卡维诺(Dan Scavino)今天在福克斯新闻(Fox News)的节目“我与拉拉·特朗普的观点”中说:“宾夕法尼亚州巴特勒市……改变了一切。真的改变了一切,从那时起,我就知道他会成为美国第47任总统,” 斯卡维诺自20世纪90年代担任特朗普的球童以来就认识他。 斯卡维诺曾在特朗普两次竞选美国总统期间,以及特朗普总统第一届政府期间负责管理特朗普总统的社交媒体账户。斯卡维诺认为,特朗普总统团队在美国国会面临的阻力远小于8年前。 现任白宫副幕僚长的斯卡维诺说:“差异绝对令人难以置信,我们不是每天都受到攻击或调查。他们玩弄阴谋,想让我们噤声。他们最终想把我们都终身监禁。” 上周,特朗普总统宣布斯卡维诺将领导负责监督数千项总统任命的办公室,审查候选人,其中包括1600多名需要美国参议院确认的候选人。 斯卡维诺的前任戈尔被任命为驻印度大使。戈尔在执掌颇具影响力的白宫总统人事办公室期间,与许多政府官员发生过冲突,甚至惹恼了一些美国参议院共和党人。 斯卡维诺在特朗普2016年美国总统大选期间一直陪伴在他身边,早在20世纪90年代,他就曾与特朗普相识,当时在布莱尔霍尔乡村俱乐部担任特朗普的球包助理和球童。 与此同时,这位特朗普总统的高级助手预测民主党将在联邦政府关门大战中失败,“他们在这件事上正在失败,我本来想说他们从未输过,因为他们已经输了很多,他们只是没有传达信息。他们不知道自己在做什么。领导力为零。我认为他们真的让自己丢脸了。”
