See: Margot Robbie, Penelope Cruz, Lily Gladstone ... Hollywood stars who lit up the Governors Awards

A 97-year-old Mel Brooks accepted a lifetime achievement Oscar in Hollywood on Tuesday, more than half a century after he won his only Academy Award with ‘The Producers.’ At a black-tie gala, Brooks — who memorably sent up Adolf Hitler in seminal satire ‘The Producers,’ as well as exposing racial bigotry in films like ‘Blazing Saddles’ — joked that he felt bad about the fate of his previous Oscar for best original screenplay. “I miss it so much. I never should have sold it,” he said, to raucous laughter in the ballroom. Angela Bassett, who was Oscar-nominated for playing Tina Turner in ‘What’s Love Got to Do With It’ and Queen Ramonda in 2022 superhero sequel ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,’ without winning either, was also honoured. The night’s other honorees were ‘E.T’ editor Carol Littleton, and Michelle Satter, founding senior director of the Sundance Institute’s Artist Programs, which have helped foster the early careers of filmmakers from Quentin Tarantino to ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.

Members of the 'Oppenheimer team' — Florence Pugh, Emily Blunt, Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr — were in attendance. As well as reflecting on stellar careers, the Governors Awards represent a key chance for this year’s Oscars hopefuls to network with Academy voters on behalf of their latest films.

Three key members of the 'Killers of the Flower Moon' epic drama were part of the evening — director Martin Scorsese and lead actors Lily Gladstone and Leonardo DiCaprio. Gladstone created history at the Golden Globes Awards by picking up a Best Actress award, the first for an indigenous person.

'Barbie' actor Margot Robbie looked stunning in a black outfit with silver straps, a far cry from the hot pink gown she wore for the Golden Globes awards ceremony, but gorgeous nevertheless..

Greta Gerwig, the screenwriter and director of 'Barbie' looked every bit the successful preofessional in black and white. 'Barbie' won the Golden Globes' inaugural Best Cinematic and Box Office Achievement Award for its phenomenal run at the box office.

Hollywood actress Penelope Cruz dazzled in Chanel at the awards night. The ambassador for the French fashion house looked radiant in a white gown.

Actor Danielle Brooks looked resplendent in purple at the Governors' Awards, which were delayed due to the Hollywood actors’ strike, which prevented stars from working or promoting their movies for months, before a deal with studios was clinched in November.

Singer-songwriter and actor Lenny Kravitz was a sight for sore eyes with his all-black ensemble, dark glares included.
