Among the distinguished honorees of the 2026 Academy Museum Gala, Charlize Theron stands out as one of the most celebrated actresses and producers of her generation. The South African-born, Oscar-winning actress has built an extraordinary career through powerful and transformative performances, from her Academy Award-winning role in Monster to acclaimed films including Mad Max: Fury Road, Bombshell, Tully, North Country and Atomic Blonde.
Beyond acting, Theron is a successful producer through her company Secret Menu, developing acclaimed films and television projects including The Old Guard, A Private War and Atomic Blonde. In 2026, she starred in and produced Netflix’s APEX, which reached 38.2 million views in its first week.
Her upcoming projects include Atomic Blonde 2, Jane, Dance Partners, Six Clean Kills and Tyrant, further confirming her influence both in front of and behind the camera.
Theron’s impact extends far beyond cinema. As a United Nations Messenger of Peace and founder of the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project (CTAOP), she is deeply committed to improving the health, education and safety of young people in Southern Africa, with initiatives addressing HIV prevention, sexual and reproductive health and gender-based violence.
The 2026 Gala also honors John Carpenter, the legendary filmmaker behind Halloween, The Thing and Escape from New York, and Colman Domingo, the Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated actor celebrated for Rustin, Euphoria and Sing Sing.
Supported by Rolex, the exclusive presenting partner and founding supporter of the Academy Museum, the Gala is co-chaired by Robert Rodriguez, Steven Spielberg, and Kate Capshaw.
The Icon Award, presented to Charlize Theron, celebrates an artist whose career has had a significant global impact.
In addition to Theron’s acting success and principal involvement with her production company, Theron serves as a United Nations Messenger of Peace and the founder of the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project (CTAOP) through which she is committed to advancing the health, education, and safety of youth in Southern Africa. CTAOP partners with community-based organizations to support sexual and reproductive health, HIV prevention, and the fight against gender-based violence. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Theron and CTAOP launched the Together for Her campaign with CARE and the Entertainment Industry Foundation to combat gender-based violence and later partnered with the Ford Foundation to advocate for global vaccine equity.

"Hollywood Inside the Oscars"
There is the ceremony, and then there is everything that happens in between.
Beyond the precision of speeches and the choreography of applause, the true texture of the Oscars lives in quieter, more fleeting exchanges. In the soft blur of a crowded room, under warm, diffused light, the world’s most recognizable faces momentarily step out of performance and into something more disarmingly real.

Two-Star Michelin Cuisine
PALAIS ROYAL RESTAURANT
Paris, France
Not only is the Palais Royal a listed site and the “most beautiful garden in Paris”, it is also home to this wonderful culinary experience in an exclu- sive setting: Palais Royal Restaurant. Hidden under the columns of the Palais-Royal, you will find a restaurant that has been awarded 2 Michelin Guide Star in 2022. It can serve up to thirty people at a time and offers a sophisticated atmosphere with contemporary and modest cuisine. The décor was designed by Christophe Tollemer with its own identity that is consistent throughout, blending the Palais Royal Restaurant into its surrounding environment. On sunny days, the terrace is transformed to offer lunch and dinner in the middle of the garden. The combination of his Greek heritage and his fundamental training in French gastronomy at the Institut Paul Bocuse give the Palais Royal Restaurant’s two Michelin-starred Chef a unique culinary identity. Former member of Joël Robuchon’s exclusive team, Philip Chronopoulos stands out due to his experience in various prestigious and exacting establishments before taking over the kitchens of the Palais Royal Restaurant in 2015. Having been awarded his first star in 2017, he received his second in 2022. In 2020, he expanded his portfolio to become Executive Chef of the Nolinski hotels in Paris and Venice, the latter being scheduled to open in 2023. This new venue will include a gourmet restaurant, “Palais Royal Restaurant Venezia”.

EXHIBITION . UK
KOEN VANMECHELEN
WE THOUGHT WE WERE ALONE
9 May - 22 November 2026
Will we ever exist, Carrara White marble, patinated bronze, 220 x 200 x 100 cm
Renowned Belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen presents his first solo sculptural exhibition in Venice, We Thought We Were Alone, at Palazzo Rota Ivancich, coinciding with the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, running from the 9 May - 22 November 2026. The exhibition, curated by the UK independent curator and writer James Putnam, will feature 40 new sculptures and installations, created specifically for the exhibition. Moving beyond human-centred perspectives, it will explore the dynamic relationship between living organisms and the inorganic environment. Spanning the three floors of the Palazzo’s history-marked, transient structure, the exhibition is a space of sanctuary located in Venice’s Castello district near San Marco. Visitors are immersed in the key themes that define Koen Vanmechelen’s practice - crossbreeding, hybridity, and identity - shaped by his vision of a Cosmopolitan Renaissance. Moving beyond traditional sculpture, the exhibition positions art as a positive force capable of inspiring social and biological transformation. Palazzo Rota Ivancich not only functions as a backdrop but as a structural part of the exhibition: a layered interior where rooms become thresholds, with the building’s own history of repair and reinvention echoing the show’s central theme, reflecting further the interconnectedness of human beings and nature. Moving across three floors, the visitor experiences the palazzo as a ‘cocoon’ - a space where forms loosen, reconfigure, and return changed.
Materials including bronze, marble, glass, photography, and video are brought together to create a dialogue between past and future, a tension between the individual and the collective, matter and form, inheritance and transformation. Classical statuary is reinterpreted amid a diverse menagerie of animal forms, while the works interconnect biology and culture, the local and the global, solitude and solidarity.
