Overview
- Miley Cyrus received the Palm Springs Film Festival’s Outstanding Artistic Achievement Award for the end‑credits ballad “Dream As One.”
- From the stage, she argued awards season too often pits artists against each other and praised Palm Springs for announcing honorees in advance.
- She joked about joining James Cameron’s long‑gestating film late, saying the team worked 16 years while she contributed for about a month.
- “Dream As One” plays over the Avatar: Fire and Ash end credits and was co‑written with Mark Ronson, Andrew Wyatt and composer Simon Franglen, with influences that included recent Los Angeles fires.
- On the red carpet, Cyrus debuted curtain bangs seen as a Hannah Montana nod and teased that plans for the show’s 20th‑anniversary celebration are in the works.
