- Penelope Cruz reviewed the Betamax tape store that opened in her area, in a suburb of Madrid, when she was a kid, which caused her to find the film.
It was there where she leased every one of the movies of Spanish film chief Pedro Almodovar, she said.
“I watched, and I giggled, I cried, and I learned,” she said at an elegant advantage Tuesday evening at the exhibition hall. “I would not be here this evening, being regarded by MoMa, if I had not had the advantage of working with splendid chiefs who have motivated me, shown me, assisted me with growing a craftsman and personally. I need to express gratitude toward them all this evening, and exceptionally my Pedro.”
The acknowledgment comes 10 years later; the exhibition hall honored Almodovar, who has worked with Cruz in seven movies. The most recent film by the chief, “Equal Mothers,” featuring Cruz, opens in the United States on December 24. On Monday, it got two Golden Globe designations.

In the video exchange with the entertainer, he reviewed what they had when they advanced “About My Mother” (1999).
“You let me know that when I get old, you will deal with me. I’m not unreasonably old yet, but rather I trust you keep your assertion,” he said, inciting giggling in the crowd. “At the point when I am an elderly person, I trust you come and become, for this situation, my mom. It would be an impression of the multitude of moms that you have been for me all through these seven movies.”
Among those honoring the Spanish entertainer at the yearly film benefit were Anne Hathaway, Diane Kruger, and Rebecca Hall. Likewise, Puerto Rican vocalist Ricky Martin, Spanish artist Rosalia, and style architect Zac Posen didn’t miss the occasion.
The advantage highlighted cuts from a portion of Cruz’s many movies: “Broken Embraces” (2009), “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” (2008), and “Volver” (2006), among others. Cruz won an Oscar for the best supporting entertainer in Woody Allen’s “Vicky Cristina Barcelona.”
Hathaway recalled that second during Tuesday’s honorary pathway.
“I went up to salute her and, I couldn’t say whether it was her sisters or her companions. However, two lovely ladies ran down from the top overhang, and they were so glad for her,” Hathaway said.
“What’s more, I have ladies like that in my life, and I was simply so glad to see her, you know, the genuine euphoria that the ladies in her day-to-day existence felt for her.”
The advantage was introduced starting around 2011 by Chanel. Cruz, who wore a long red Chanel v-line dress with an open back, has represented the style house starting around 2018.
MoMA’s film benefit raises assets to carry incredible film works to the gallery’s assortment. The exhibition hall’s film division incorporates over 30,000 movies and 1.5 million film stills.
Cruz joins a gathering of past MoMA honorees, including Martin Scorsese, Tom Hanks, Julianne Moore, Cate Blanchett, Quentin Tarantino, George Clooney, and others.
