NEW YORK (AP) --Two-time Oscar winner Cate Blanchett has been honored for her film work at a glittery gala at New York's Museum of Modern Art.
Blanchett was the honoree Tuesday at the museum's eighth annual film benefit, which raises funds so that important cinematic works can join the museum's collection. She told the crowd that her own efforts feel insignificant in view of "the horrific events in Europe and the Middle East."
Speaking at the tribute was actor Ralph Fiennes and director Todd Haynes, who directs Blanchett in the lesbian romance "Carol." Also attending was director Martin Scorsese and actresses Rooney Mara, Sarah Paulson, Rose Byrne and Diane Kruger.
