An impressive group of stars gathered Thursday at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills for a charity event hosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., the group that sponsors one of Hollywood's biggest nights, the Golden Globes.

Celebrity attendees, accepting the awards on behalf of the organizations, included Lady Gaga, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jane Fonda, Elizabeth Banks, America Ferrera, Topher Grace, Halle Berry and Ice Cube and his son, “Straight Outta Compton's" O’Shea Jackson Jr.
