The New Year ushers in a lot of new things—among them is awards season, the first of which includes the Palm Springs International Film Festival Gala.
A-list celebrities, including Brad Pitt, Robert Downey Jr., Julianne Moore and a whole lot more arrived at Palm Springs to honor this years crop of Oscar hopefuls.
Among this year's crop of honorees are Julianne Moore who arrives to pick up a Desert Palm Achievement Award for Still Alice, Robert Duvall who receives the Icon Award, Eddie Redmayne, Reese Witherspoon and Rosamund Pike for her breakthrough performance in Gone Girl.
Redmayne, who received an award for his performance in the Stephen Hawking biopic, The Theory of Everything, thanked his "life partner and as of two weeks ago, my wife. It's kind of weird saying that — but it's a good weird." A hug was shared by Moore and Redmayne backstage after he thanked her for presenting the award.
