Sydney Sweeney<\/a>, Kate Hudson, Teyana Taylor, Dwayne Johnson, Adam Sandler, Jesse Plemons, Ethan Hawke, Tonatiuh, Connor Storrie, Odessa A\u2019zion, Kumail Nanjiani and many more showed to the event hosted by Variety\u2019s co-president and co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh and Golden Globes president Helen Hoehne. The evening was sponsored by the Aman Beverly Hills and Morgan Stanley. <\/p>\n\n\tSeason 23 was exceptional. For the first time, Leonardo DiCaprio allowed a fellow A-lister in Jennifer Lawrence to quiz him about his process. Julia Roberts let the world know how long and meaningful her friendship was with Sean Penn, while discussing her most indelible turn since \u201cErin Brockovich,\u201d in Luca Guadagnino\u2019s \u201cAfter the Hunt.\u201d Kate Hudson shared with Jeremy Allen White the small devotions that helped her achieve the most compelling dramatic performance of her career in \u201cSong Sung Blue.\u201d These moments and many more proved worthy of a fabulous pre-Globes bash.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThere\u2019s tremendous value in \u2018Actors on Actors\u2019 because of how intimate it is,\u201d said, Hoehne, who was seen chatting with Johnson and Adrien Brody two days prior to her organization\u2019s big Sunday telecast. \u201cYou find out who they are, what they love, how they work. So many of the pairings are unexpected, but it\u2019s always rewarding.\u201d<\/p>\n
As tuna tartare cones and mini grilled cheese circulated on passed plates, Hudson and her power manager Jason Weinberg delighted the crowd. Eva Victor, the breakout writer-director-star of \u201cSorry, Baby,\u201d met the town\u2019s obsession Storrie (of \u201cHeated Rivalry\u201d fame). Sweeney cut a glamorous figure in a shimmering black dress as Sandler (\u201cJay Kelly\u201d) took a victory lap for what many have called a career-defining role. Billionaire Kevin Ulrich, who sold MGM to Amazon, gave a best-dressed effort in a killer double-breasted heather grey suit from J. Crew (the iconic apparel company he acquired in 2020).<\/p>\n

\n\tVariety\u2019s co-president and publisher Dea Lawrence held court alongside associate publisher Donna Pennestri, with film luminaries like Sony Pictures Classics heads Tom Bernard and Michael Barker. Co-editor-in-chief Cynthia Littleton mixed with \u201cMarty Supreme\u201d breakout star A\u2019zion and powerhouse young star Kathryn Newton (Searchlight\u2019s \u201cReady or Not 2: Here I Come\u201d).<\/p>\n
The industry was represented by Sue Kroll, head of marketing for Amazon MGM; Eldridge Industries chair Todd Boehly; Management 360 partner Beau Swayze; Weinberg; fashion entrepreneur Natalie Bond Bloomingdale; and the Prada-clad communications whiz Ashley Hansen, partner at Forward Global (formerly of Archewell, Universal and Annapurna ).

\n\tSetoodeh, another dressed in Prada, spent his night at the door greeting actors (the point of the evening, after all).<\/p>\n
