Miley Cyrus, Honored for Avatar Song, Urges Community Over Competition at Palm Springs

Accepting recognition for 'Dream As One,' she emphasized collaboration after joining the Avatar team only recently.

Overview

  • At the Palm Springs Film Awards, Cyrus argued awards season too often treats artists as opponents and called for a community mindset.
  • She was recognized for "Dream As One," the end‑credits song for James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash.
  • Onstage, she thanked Cameron, noted the film's team labored for 16 years while she joined for about a month, and credited their work.
  • She joked about the house orchestra being "available for the Oscars" and quipped about stopping by local drag bar Toucans.
  • "Dream As One" lists Andrew Wyatt, Mark Ronson and Simon Franglen as collaborators, and Cyrus has been actively pitching herself for film songwriting roles, including at the 2025 Oscars.
