He was dressed in a tuxedo and gave a master class while being honored for his contributions to the development of cinema. He introduced the screening of his 1999 film “American Beauty” and spoke about his career.

He then said, “Tonight was the perfect opportunity to say, ‘Thank you! Who would not think that this is the perfect opportunity to say, ‘Thank you! You are not honoring only me. You are honoring all of them. I am truly blessed, grateful, and humbled. And my heart is very full for the National Film Museum for inviting me tonight. Le palle” is Italian for “having balls.”

Kevin has been the subject of numerous allegations in the wake of the #MeToo movement. The two-time Academy Award winner lost his lead role in the Netflix series “House of Cards: Stairway to Ambition” after allegations of sexual abuse surfaced in 2017. Kevin’s decision to accept the award has been controversial, as he has been in the middle of allegations of sexual abuse.

Kevin has been charged with four counts of sexual assault by the Special Crimes Unit of the U.K. Public Prosecution Service, and his sexual assault trial in June will also be closely watched.
