Academy Museum Gala 2024 honoree, Rita Moreno, says she was astonished and never expected to be honored by the Academy. The actress teases the next 'Fast & Furious' film, where she hopes to be behind the wheel.
00:00You look beautiful. Thank you. I hope so. We were trying. Yeah. Congratulations. What does it mean to get this kind of icon recognition from the Academy? You know, I don't know yet. I'll really know when my name is called, but I have to tell you, I'm astonished. I am truly astonished. It is not anything I ever, ever expected. It's thrilling.
00:25Yeah. And I saw Ariana DeBose is here. Do you have a couple other friends? Steven Spielberg, I think?
00:30She's on my table. Nice. Yes. I'm thrilled. Yeah, great. And, I mean, you've done so much in your career, obviously. Is there still a bucket list or things that you're waiting to check off?
00:40Well, I'm still waiting to check off. That doesn't mean that I'm going to be doing those things, but I've always said that anything, who's the actress I love?
00:53The actress? That I love. That's no help, is it? I can't remember her name, and I love her. Which one you're asking me? I'm asking you.
01:05Mom, let me, uh. Jessica Chastain. Well, Chastain is, she'll do. She's fabulous. And I love her, too. She's a lovely lady.
01:13Yeah. Are we going to see it more Fast and Furious? Is that on the agenda? I'm supposed to do another.
01:18Okay. So I'm waiting to hear it. I'm very excited. Yeah. I'm hoping this time they'll put me in a car.
01:26Because this could be very funny. Now.
01:29You know, his grandmother. Yeah.
01:32She, apparently, I was told, she has a history that she was a great driver once.
01:38How do you like that? Wouldn't that be amazing?
01:41Are you pitching Vin on Let's Get You On The Track?
01:43No. Well, I don't have to pitch it. That's her history. Now I'm hoping we can get her in a car.
01:50I would love to see that.
01:52Me, too.
01:53And, obviously, there's so much Hollywood history we're celebrating tonight. Do you have something from, like, a prop or a costume from one of your projects that you would love to see end up in this museum?
02:01It is.
02:02Oh, what's in there?
02:03My Oscar gown is in here.
02:05Oh, amazing.
02:05Right. It's my beautiful. And I think it's on the same floor and kind of next to chairs. You know, the one where she was really naked in front. That one. That was almost there, but not quite. That one.
