Glenn Close‘s Bring Change To Mind organization held its annual Revels and Revelations Gala.
It was their 11th gala, and this year, it hosted the likes of Steve Buscemi, Reba McEntire, Nina West and Ryan Reynolds.
Each year, the nonprofit organization focused on ending the stigma around mental illness chooses an honoree to receive the Robin Williams Legacy of Laughter award. The award was formed by Robin Williams’ children, Zachary, Zelda and Cody, after he died in 2014.
This year’s honoree was Reynolds.
“I am deeply and profoundly honored,” the Deadpool star told Extra during the event. “I am not just [somebody who] watched Robin my whole life, but I studied him. He’s quite literally singular. There’s nobody else like him before him or after him. There never will be.”
Previous honorees include Melissa McCarthy, Eugene and Dan Levy, Will Smith and his family, Ben Stiller, Whoopi Goldberg and Billy Crystal.
