Leo introducing Clint at LACMA event

When Clint takes the podium, he says "You can see from clips I've worked with some very good actors, but none better than this young man . He tells Leo he's a gem

[FashionDream]

WOW! That is a HUGE compliment!! ... wonder what Matt D thinks about that... sorry had to say it

Also, when Leo was describing Clint's body of work and how he goes about making films I couldn't help thinking of James Cameron... if you know what I mean lol.

They both had such wonderful things to say of eachother!

Thanks alot Oxford for that great vid!

He's now at The Time warner center for screening

Fash I didn't know that. I thought that the events had already ended so... Yeah!!! More pics

and we haven't seen yet the interview with Samantha Harris

[barilace]

Hahaha. Suck that, Matt Damon. :evil:

(Sorry, I hate when people compare Matt and Leo even though I like Matt too. Still, Matt, at times, seems to have a big head going to me and needs to stfu about Obama and etc. Lalala.) I am meaaan.

BUT YAY MORE POSSIBLE PICTURES!

[oxford25]

Don't forget, Nightline tonight on ABC !!!

By Princess

I posted the video clip of the Leo's interview with ET's Samantha Harris this morning.

Surely an ace detective would not have overlooked that !!!

Thanks for another great GMA picture

Fash & Bari

Yes, some great words from Clint about Leo

Maybe it's me, but it seems everyone who works with him be it Scorsese, Eastwood, Spielberg are so fond of him , it's like he's their adopted son

Wow is very difficult to keep up with your "hate list" Girls. First George Clooney... Now Matt Damon? We couldn't hate one at a time... Preferably George Clooney first

It'll be a joy to get more pics :hell yea!: You can never have too much Leo .... this makes up for when we have to go several weeks without Leo pics/ scarce news times

Don't forget, Nightline tonight on ABC !!!

Maybe it's me, but it seems everyone who works with him be it Scorsese, Eastwood, Spielberg are so fond of him , it's like he's their adopted son

Thanks for the heads up (Y) ... and yes Leo definately has something special that all these big wigs just can't get enough of him. He's had it since forever... I still like to think way back before the nominations and box office records... Robert Deniro chose him over hundreds of others!!

[FashionDream]

Comment on twitter brought this back to my attention..... Just curious do you guys think Derek Hough resembles a young Leo??

Princess I actually like Matt Though of course no where near as much as I like Leo... so Clint's comments definately pleased me. Now George is another story... can't stand that dude :evil: lol

[barilace]

I like both Matt and George, but I "hate" them when people say they're better actors than Leo. Also, let's go with George since he might get a nom this season and be in competition with Leo. So....we hate him. Lmfao.

Thanks Princess for pics!

And as to your comment below :

didn't see it ... where?

Is that going to be your reply when we discover the inscription " Love, By Princess" inside Leo's green bracelet ???

And, gosh, more GMA pix, what a smile, and that wave of his, now really, does anyone else have a better fan wave ????

Fash

Yes, for sure, we need to really enjoy these past few days of pix, clip,etc overload as it doesn't happen all the time

As to Derek, I can somewhat of a resemblance at times . Even now with Leo , I find he can look very different depending on the angle of the shot .

[FashionDream]

Oxford

Yeah this is the good kind of news... better enjoy it while it lasts for sure because when he goes back to Sydney I think it'll be back to gossip shite

Though that can be entertaining too but definately not as much as real interviews and professional pics

Thanks for response about Derek/Leo I don't really think they look much alike.... I think people only say it because of the blonde hair, slight build, boyish look. Their faces don't look anything alike to me.

Hollywood Reporter article about recent LACMA event; mentions Irmelin having her photo taken with Stevie Wonder

Los Angeles County Museum of Art and its event co-chair post big returns launching an inaugural fundraiser in support of movies at the museum.

Is Leonardo DiCaprio the art world's biggest new fan? The answer — as evidenced by Los Angeles County Museum of Art's wildly successful first annual Art + Film Gala — is an unqualified yes.

On Saturday night, Nov. 5, the actor co-chaired the inaugural black-tie benefit, which raised $3 million for LACMA. The party, held in a temporary structure on the museum campus, honored artist John Baldessari and DiCaprio's J. Edgar director Clint Eastwood.

DiCaprio flew back from Australia (where he's started filming The Great Gatsby) for the night, which drew a crowd that was one of the most A-list events ever thrown by an arts institution. Kate Hudson, Jane Fonda, Evan Rachel Wood and Olivia Wilde were among the actresses who turned out wearing gowns by event sponsor Gucci. Directors on hand included Jason Reitman, Eli Roth, Ron Howard, Julian Schnabel and Gus Van Sant. The studios were represented by Disney's Rich Ross, Sean Bailey and Bob Iger (who stopped in for cocktails — he and wife Willow Bay, a LACMA board member, had to make it to a bar mitzvah); Warners' Barry Meyer and Jeff Robinov (the studio bought two tables, which started at $50,000-a-pop, to support their J. Edgar director); Sony's Michael Lynton, a LACMA trustee; and The Weinstein Co.'s Harvey Weinstein.

The event raised money for LACMA's big push to make film a bigger part of its focus. This fall, the museum launched the Film Independent at LACMA Film Series, curated by film critic Elvis Mitchell. It also recently announced that it is in discussions with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to open an Oscars film museum in the historic May Company building on the LACMA grounds. On Saturday night, a LACMA board member told THR that there is even talk of launching a festival centered around film at the museum. We're not talking a fest like Sundance or AFI. Think more an Aspen Ideas Festival or New York Festival type event focused on movies.

“This was always a city about film; now its a city that's also about art. So the fact that we are celebrating both in the same place and night is pretty special," said AMPAS CEO Dawn Hudson of the evening.

The night began with cocktails on the museum's plaza followed by a sit-down dinner for around 500. Baldessari, one of the art world’s most important conceptual painters, was introduced by remarks from LACMA director Michael Govan and a short film by Paranormal Activity 3 and Catfish directors Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost and narrated by Tom Waits. The clip drew laughs when the 6'7" artist, asked about being on the same bill with Eastwood, responded: "How tall is he?"

Afterward, DiCaprio — a budding art collector, who, a source tells THR, is advised in his purchases by New York City’s Tony Shafrazi Gallery — came to the stage to honor Eastwood. "As John, the artist, would say, 'I'm tall enough,' " said Eastwood, who applauded the museum's efforts. "L.A. deserves to have the best film museum in the world. Certainly Paris has Cinematheque, New York has MOMA but there's more history of film in this town and it really deserves a sensational museum."

To cap the night, Stevie Wonder (CAA’s Bryan Lourd, a new LACMA board member, helped get him for the night) sang for the crowd. DiCaprio’s mother, Irmelin DiCaprio, the head of his foundation, got a pic of herself snapped with the singer.

Also on hand for the festivities were such LACMA board members as Elaine Wynn (with casino mogul husband Steve Wynn), Brian Grazer, Steve Tisch, Carole Bayer Sager, philanthropist Wallis Annenberg, auctioneer Viveca Paulin-Ferrell (with husband Will Ferrell) and DiCaprio's gala co-chair, fashion designer Eva Chow.

Near midnight — an hour after Wonder had wrapped his set and most of the guests had left — DiCaprio was still there hanging out with his fellow organizers Govan and Chow. According to Govan, the actor, who the LACMA director calls a friend, is a frequent visitor to the museum. We've no doubt that Govan would love to nab DiCaprio as his next big get for the LACMA board. But perhaps he doesn't need to given the actor's already enormous show of support.

"As a native of Los Angeles, I want to personally thank everyone associated with LACMA," said DiCaprio in his remarks. "Your commitment to serve the public through conservation, exhibitions and your interpretation of significant works of art continues to have a valuable impact on our community here in Los Angeles.”
