In celebration of the 92nd Academy Awards, Diane von Furstenberg and the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures co-presented their sixth-annual event for women Oscar nominees on Wednesday, February 5, at the private residence of Diane von Furstenberg in Los Angeles, California.

The event, co-hosted by DVF, Ava DuVernay, Dawn Hudson, and Tessa Thompson, celebrated women empowerment with nods to DVF's In Charge campaign. Guests included women nominees, entertainment luminaries, philanthropists, VIPs, and supporters of the museum.

When it opens later this year, the Academy Museum will be the world's premier institution dedicated to the art and Science of movies. Located on Wilshire and Fairfax in Los Angeles, the museum will be simultaneously immersive, experimental, educational, and entertaining. More than a museum, this dynamic film center will offer unparalleled experiences and insights into movies and moviemaking. Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano, the museum is restoring and revitalizing the historic Saban Building-formerly known as the May Company building (1939)-at the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue. The Saban Building will feature six floors, including exhibition spaces, the 288-seat Ted Mann Theater, the Shirley Temple Education Studio, special event spaces, conservation areas, a café, and store. The new spherical addition will connect to the Saban Building via glass bridges and will feature the state-of-the-art 1,000-seat David Geffen Theater and the rooftop Dolby Family Terrace with its sweeping views of the Hollywood Hills.
