From celebrating industry peers to rebuilding the community, stars poured out across Los Angeles in January. Take a closer look below.
The Golden Globes hosted Golden Gala: An Evening of Excellence on Jan. 4, the night before its main ceremony. Gathering stars in the Wilshire Garden of the Beverly Hilton, Meryl Streep presented Viola Davis with the Cecil B. DeMille Award and Ted Danson presented Mary Steenburgen with the Carol Burnett Award. Other attendees included Carol Burnett, Jane Fonda, Anthony Anderson, Steve Guttenberg and Babyface.

The invite-only guest list featured Jo Delarosa, Peter Madrigal, Joe Jenkins, Sydney Schlachter, Bryce Vine and more.
On Jan. 21 and 28, the Babylist showroom in Beverly Hills hosted a distribution drive for community members affected by the fires, inviting Angelenos to pick up essentials like baby gear and personal care items.

Colton Underwood, Jodie Sweetin, Cobie Smulders, Chloe Bridges Devine, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Barbie Blank, Kate Steinberg, Ashley Madekwe, Jessica Hall and Nicole Young were among the volunteers.
American Cinematheque’s fourth annual Tribute to the Crafts celebrated the work of behind-the-camera talent from over the past year.

Additionally, co-founder and CEO of Watch Duty John Mills—whose app was instrumental to Angelenos during the January wildfires— was presented the Unsung Hero Award by Steve Guttenberg.
On Jan. 26, Together for LA fostered a crowd of city tastemakers and stars in the name of raising money for Baby2Baby. The evening was hosted by Anita Verma-Lallian, Jay Shetty and Radhi Devlukia at Hotel Bel-Air. Guests included Julianne Hough, Kumail Nanjiani, Lilly Sing and Kelly Wearstler.
