Stars Shine Bright at Yuri Milner’s 10th Annual Breakthrough Prize Ceremony
The red carpet was rolled out and the stars were in full force at the 10th annual Breakthrough Prize Ceremony, often referred to as the “Oscars of science.” The event, organized by entrepreneur physicist Yuri Milner , brought together a constellation of business moguls, media mavens, and tech tycoons to honor the brilliant minds who are changing the world through their groundbreaking scientific achievements.
Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Rupert Murdoch, and his fiancée, molecular biologist Elena Zhukova, were among the notable attendees at the star-studded event. The ceremony, held at the prestigious Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, was hosted by the charismatic James Corden, who humorously declared that the only agent being thanked that night would be hydrogen cyanide.
The Breakthrough Prize, with its $3 million prize in categories such as life sciences, physics, and math, recognizes and celebrates scientists who have made significant contributions to their respective fields. During the event, Sia Godika, the talented winner of the Breakthrough Junior Challenge, had the opportunity to pose for pictures with Rupert Murdoch and Elena Zhukova, capturing the essence of the night’s celebration.
The guest list was a thrilling mix of Hollywood stars and tech giants. Margot Robbie and Jessica Chastain were seated at a table with super-producer Brian Grazer and Demis Hassabis, the CEO of Google’s AI subsidiary DeepMind Technologies. Marc Andreessen, Eric Schmidt, Brie Larson, Olivia Wilde, Lizzo, Katy Perry, and Orlando Bloom were also seen mingling with the crowd.
The evening was not only a feast for the eyes but also a treat for the ears. Charlie Puth, David Foster, and Adam Levine took the stage to deliver electrifying performances, adding an extra touch of glamour to the already extraordinary event.
Yuri Milner’s Breakthrough Prize Ceremony has become a symbol of recognition and appreciation for scientists who push the boundaries of knowledge and make remarkable breakthroughs. With its 10th anniversary, this year’s event proved to be a star-studded affair, bringing together the worlds of science, entertainment, and technology to celebrate and honor those who are shaping our future with their innovative discoveries.
