PALM SPRINGS, California − There's one night every year when the desert shines a little brighter than Hollywood, and that's because the brightest stars have left Los Angeles for the Palm Springs International Film Awards.
The annual celebration of cinema took place Saturday, Jan. 3, at the Palm Springs Convention Center. Though Leonardo DiCaprio went missing amid travel issues, there's plenty to unpack, from Miley Cyrus shouting out her favorite Palm Springs drag show spot to a certain celebrity and their famous girlfriend making a stealth entrance.
These were our favorite moments from the 2026 Palm Springs International Film Awards.

Timothée Chalamet, winner of the Spotlight Actor of the Year Award for his starring role in "Marty Supreme," was noticeably absent from the arrivals. When The Desert Sun inquired whether Chalamet would be attending, an event representative confirmed the actor had slipped through the back entrance with girlfriend Kylie Jenner, skipping the red carpet entirely.
