Elle Women in Hollywood Event: Celebrating Powerful Women of Cinema

A1 Digital India News: Cameron Diaz made a rare public appearance at the Elle Women in Hollywood magazine event in Los Angeles on Tuesday to honor "Emilia Perez" stars Zoe Saldana, Selena Gomez and Carla Sofia Gascón.

"It's really incredible to be in this room now because it embodies everything I love about making movies — intimacy and connection," Diaz said. She praised "Emilia Perez" as "a powerful exploration of identity, resilience and the courage it takes to break free from societal norms, patriarchal limitations."

"It's also a deeply human story of love and a journey to find your authentic self," Diaz added. "What these three actresses have accomplished through this movie ... is truly amazing. Together, they've created something unforgettable."

On the carpet, Gomez told me the attention she and the film have received has been "nice and overwhelming in a good way." He said the toughest challenge was making sure he got enough sleep. "I can fall asleep anywhere," Gomez said. "I can even fall asleep at a concert." "Anora" star Mikey Madison was also honored. "There's a lot I still don't understand," he tells me of the acclaim — and awards buzz — he's received for his work in the Sean Baker drama.

"It takes me a lot of time to digest and understand my feelings. Often something surprising happens and someone asks, 'How do you feel about that?' And I said, 'I don't know yet, give me a couple of days.' On Tuesday, Moore will receive the award from co-stars Melanie Griffith, Rosie O'Donnell and Rita Wilson. The film also received praise from Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton, who starred in Pedro Almodovar's first English-language film, "The Room Next Door," in 1995. "I was very impressed by the originality of his voice, his worldview, but I never thought I would be with him.

It will work." "He had always said he might do an English film one day ... But then all of a sudden I got this email. Peter emailed me and said, 'I'm doing this movie with Tilda and I want you to be there.' To which I said yes". I had no idea it was going to happen, I looked at my husband and said, 'Oh my God, what am I going to say?' And he said, 'You just say yes.'

Honorary Daniel Deadwyler played a dual role on Tuesday. Not only was she there to walk the carpet at the Elle event, but she also ran across town to do the same for the premiere of her latest film, "The Piano Lesson," and then came back to accept her Four Seasons award. Deadwyler told me she had a "romance" project in the works. "And I'm looking forward to some horror," Deadwyler said. "I think body horror is interesting." The luncheon, hosted by Elle editor-in-chief Nina Garcia, was presented by sponsors Ralph Lauren and Harry Winston, while TikTok was a supporting sponsor.
