Antonio Banderas Quotes Liberal Hall of Shame
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was a busy man Tuesday night, courting Hollywood power players in two soirees that earned a single-night fundraising record of $11 million. A-listers such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Jodie Foster, Tobey Maguire, Will
Ferrell, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, and Renee Zellweger all made the list.
Directors supporting their preferred candidate included Steven Spielberg
(assigned to a table with his wife, Kate Capshaw, and uber-agent Ari Emanuel),
Peter Berg, Christopher Guest (with his wife, Jamie Lee Curtis), James
Mangold, Garry Marshall, Adam Shankman, and Robert Zemeckis. Making the
invite list from the TV world: Curb Your Enthusiasm's Larry David, Office
showrunner Greg Daniels, 24 star Dennis Haysbert, Sex and the City director
Michael Patrick King, Heroes creator Tim Kring, Aaron Sorkin, Randy Jackson,
Darren Star, and Joss Whedon. Music royalty on call included Quincy Jones,
Berry Gordy, Hans Zimmer, and Herb Alpert. Of course, many of Hollywood's
top executives also scored seats: the DreamWorks cabal of David Geffen,
Jeffrey Katzenberg, and Stacey Snider; Fox's Tom Rothman and Jim Giannopoulos,
and their boss Peter Chernin; Warner Bros.' Barry Meyer; Sony's Michael
Lynton; and Universal's Ron Meyer. So while you may not be able to fork
over $28K-plus for steak and potatoes with the possible future leader
of the free world, now you can at least envision the crowd that handed
over those hefty checks.
