Oscar nominees and presenters, as well as Hollywood power players, supported the Motion Picture & Television Fund at its 22nd annual benefit dubbed “Night Before,” which raised more than $4.3 million on Saturday night.
The exclusive event was co-chaired by Sterling K. Brown and Ryan Michelle Bathé, America Ferrera and Ryan Piers-Williams, Jodie Foster and Paul Giamatti.
Funds raised from the event will be used to support industry members and their families who benefit from MPTF’s charitable programs and services, such as financial assistance, crisis counseling, caregiving support and residency on the Wasserman Campus in Woodland Hills, which now serves as “home” to many television and film veterans.
This year’s presenting sponsors were City National Bank, Delta Air Lines, L’Oreal USA, Penske Media Corporation (owner of The Hollywood Reporter) and UCLA Health with support from Diamond Sponsors, Dolby, Fox and IATSE.

At first, people were delighted. Then they were confused. Now, they’re starting to see a larger narrative take shape. But not everyone appreciates it.
