Last night, the Academy held a tribute ”to celebrate the 100th birthday of the incomparable Gene Kelly (1912-1996) with a special gala evening of film clips, stories and personal remembrances of the multi-talented motion picture legend.” Here is the Academy’s summary of the evening.
A few attendees live-tweeted their experience of the event:
