New York, March 30 – The Museum of Modern Art’s film and media department honored Oscar-winning director Sofia Coppola at the Grammercy Theater. New York Times film critic Elvis Mitchell and director Jim Jarmusch moderated the program that included talks with Coppola, Kirsten Dunst (Virgin Suicides) and Bill Murray (Lost in Translation). Quentin Tarantino, Marcia Gay Harden, Kathleen Turner, Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, Claire Danes, designer Anna Sui and Jimmy Fallon all paid homage, no doubt to avoid waking up to beheaded horses. Later, at the after party at Metronome, a relieved Coppola told us she’d been nervous about being the center of attention, so we asked Jarmusch if he too had been nervous about moderating the panel. “No”, he replied, grinning, “I was drunk”.
