  • (16 Oct 2018) LADY GAGA, CHARLIZE THERON, KEIRA KNIGHTLEY ATTEND ELLE WOMEN IN HOLLYWOOD EVENT
    After its second week, "A Star is Born" continues to be a box office success, including a number one spot for the soundtrack which has surprised even Lady Gaga herself saying, "I'm living a dream, pinch me."
    "I can't believe everything that's going on," said Gaga. "It's been such an honor to work on this film with Bradley Cooper and the entire cast and the crew. Everyone was just so wonderful and to have all of this happen is an absolute dream come true and you know, also for the soundtrack to be number one."
    Gaga was one of the women honored Monday (15 OCTOBER 2018) night at the 25th annual Elle Women in Hollywood gala. Other honorees included Keira Knightley, Charlize Theron, Sarah Paulson, Mia Farrow and Shonda Rhimes.
    Since "A Star is Born" hit the film festival circuit, critics started conversations about a possible Oscar nomination for Gaga's performance. The artist said that her work on the film is the biggest reward she could hope for.
    "I am incredibly humbled by that comment. I appreciate that so much," said Gaga. "Of course, it would be wonderful but the true reward for me is in the creative process and in making this film and I will always hold that in my heart forever."
    When asked about what she would like to see happen in the aftermath of #MeToo, Gaga said she'd like to see a unity of the sexes on the matter.
    "You know what I think will be wonderful? It's to see not just women come together but for men to come together with women and that we all stand together in terms of this issue. I think it something that is important," said
    Charlize Theron had a pragmatic view on what still needs to change to make true gender equality happen.
    "We have to have legislation change to protect us, that needs to happen," said Theron. "But I feel like women - there's a solidarity and there's a real momentum behind this movement that has not slow down, if anything it's just picked up. And I think in my entire career, that's what's different. I feel like there's never been this kind of momentum where something has kind of stayed in the conversation for this long and so I think that gives me real hope that this is the moment."
    When asked her opinion about Senator Elizabeth Warren possibly running for US President in 2020, Theron replied, "I'm so OK with that."
    "American Horror Story" actress Sarah Paulson said she felt very grateful to have a job that pays her bills and allows her to buy nice gifts for those she loves. At 43, Paulson also said she fees lucky that her age hasn't been a factor of her success but says when giving younger actresses advice on dealing with Hollywood's gender pay gap, things can get tricky.
    "I think it's really hard because from the business perspective you know, you have to earn your stripes. You can expect to make what you will make later on in your career when you've got more experience," said Paulson. "But there should be no disparity between what a man makes and what a woman makes, that is for sure. But more than giving them advice about how to financially deal with the realities, I would just say to try to remain true to the thing that makes you, you."
    In celebration of the evening, Elle made a donation to Time's Up Legal Defense Fund - which Keira Knightley said has been one of the most important things the US and the UK has done to help women facing harassment.
    Other attendees included Kate Beckinsale, activist Anita Hill, James Corden, Juliette Lewis, Chloe Grace Moretz, Vanessa Hudgens and Laverne Cox.
