When planning an Oscar party, every little detail is of the utmost importance. And the folks over at the “The Envelope Please” shindig made a great call in asking Jennifer Love Hewitt to host their evening for the fourth year in a row.
The gig took place at Los Angeles hot spot The Abbey and it wasn’t just about beautiful people getting together for cocktails and a gourmet dinner. They had a higher purpose.
Reportedly, the event benefited the AIDS Project Los Angeles, and has raised over $1.2 million over the years for the charity. And executive director Craig E. Thompson had nothing but good things to say about the event.
“Despite all the uncertainty surrounding the strike and the Oscar telecast, the importance of this annual event has never diminished for APLA and the people we serve,” said Craig E. Thompson, executive director of APLA, which is now in its 25th year of operation. “This evening has become one of the top fundraisers of the year for our organization and we are more excited than ever to roll out the red carpet for all our friends and guests on Oscar night.”
Jennifer Love Hewitt looked positively perfect in a white one-shoulder (there it is again!) gown, complete with her fiancé Ross McCall. She told press how much she was looking forward to the party.
“Gathering with friends to watch the Academy Awards is one of my favorite traditions, and I am honored to join APLA’s supporters once again for a great evening at The Abbey. We are looking forward to a memorable event with entertainment, food, and friends, and most importantly, a chance to raise much-needed funds for an important organization.”
