With in-person and virtual guests including Ricky Martin, Lupita Nyong'o and director Pedro Almodóvar, the night was an intimate celebration of Cruz's work: 'I would want to be remembered as someone that tried to keep learning every day and never got too confident about it.'

A byproduct of Cruz following her childhood dream of becoming an actor — something she spoke to during the evening while accepting her honor — is that she too exists as a part of cinematic history, where she will be known and remembered long after her final picture rolls. When it comes to how she hopes future audiences see her and her artistry, the actress told, “I would want to be remembered as someone that tried to keep learning every day and never got too confident about it.

“It’s a very interesting time for film and filmmakers for audiences. With so many distribution platforms, and devices on which to watch, access to film is everywhere. We all have the ability to carry a cinema in our hand, and to watch films wherever we go,” she said. “The last few years have taken their toll on film productions. Some shutdown. Theaters closed. Cinema is changing. And we all wonder what the future of cinema looks like.

Among the night’s many speakers, Almodóvar was last but not least, acknowledging his long history with Cruz on and off the screen in a speech that was equal parts heartwarming and hilarious. “You told me that when I get old you will take care of me. I’m not that old yet, but I hope you keep your word,” he said, to audience laughter. “When I am an old man, I hope you come and become, in this case, my mother.
