Tim Burton was honoured last night at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York where 14 of his films are being showcased along with all his other works.  He says of being being honoured:

“In my life, I’ve had many surreal, great things happen — meeting my idol, Vincent Price; being able to make movies; and this one, I think, tops it in the sense that it’s the most amazing and surreal, and that’s what you look for in life, is these great and incredible [experiences].”

On hand to celebrate his body of work:  Johnny Depp, Patti  Smyth, Ashley Olsen, Mary-Kate Olsen, Ashley Greene, Helena Bonham Carter, and Gabourey Sidibe
