A star-studded host committee mingled with nominees and presenters at the 20th annual party to benefit Motion Picture and Television Fund as it raised $4.5 million
The Power of the Dog nominees and real-life couple Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons mingled with real-life pals who play the parents in CODA, Marlee Matlin and Troy Kotsur.
Best actor nominee Andrew Garfield chatted with best supporting actress nominee Ariana DeBose, while Judi Dench received congratulations for her work in Belfast.
The MPTF’s star-studded “Night Before” party was held Saturday evening on the Fox Studios lot.
The annual fundraiser is a coveted invite on busy Oscar weekend and this year was no exception, especially considering this year’s installment marked a return to in-person after 2021’s online gathering due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It proved to be a hit as the night raised $4.5 million, funds that will benefit MPTF programs and services such as financial assistance, crisis counseling, caregiving and the iconic retirement facility in Woodland Hills.
Presenting sponsors of the starry bash included Delta Air Lines, L’Oréal USA, Penske Media Corporation (parent company of The Hollywood Reporter) and YouTube. Carmelized Prods.’ Jon Shook & Vinny Dotolo curated the menu for the bash that hosted a long list of boldfaced names.
