Dozens of star-studded parties in honor of Barack Obama’s victory are being held tonight in L.A., most of them intimate soirees at private homes.

The biggest event in L.A., slated to start as polls close in California, is a bash at the Century Plaza Hotel co-hosted by Obama’s California campaign staff and the California Democratic Party. With over 10,000 RSVPs accepted by midday Tuesday, the party touted several boldfaced names on the invitation, including Sarah Silverman, Pierce Brosnan, Amy Smart, Peter Fonda, Zooey Deschanel, Alan Ladd Jr., and Richard and Lauren Shuler Donner.

In typical left knee-jerk fashion, some of Hollywood’s most famous “liberals” recently sprung into action to try to avert a Republican win in the California recall race. They took out a full-page ad in Variety pushing for a “No” vote.

The ad was direct. It read: “Join us. Vote no on the recall.”

Attached were the signatures of 46 actors, producers, writers and studio execs. Famed signatories included Barbra Streisand, Cybill Shepherd, Rob Reiner, Pierce Brosnan, Danny Glover, Richard Dreyfuss, James Cromwell, Stacy Keach and Larry David.
