Celebrities know whose butt they need to kiss in order to make it in Hollywood, and one of the biggest butts is The Hollywood Foreign Press Association. They’re the ones who hand out the Golden Globes every year. So when they say they want you to show up at their luncheon so they can hand out financial grants, you do. And boy, the celebs did.

The association handed out about $1,249,000 in grants today to 29 film school and other non-profit organizations. It’s up from last year’s about, as there was less money after the Golden Globes got nicked with the writer’s strike.

But don’t worry, the Globes are back again on January 17, and they will be fabulous. I mean, if Chris Pine shows up to the luncheon, you know he’s going to show up to the actual show. Oh Chris. I love you. Sorry, got distracted. Make sure to check out all of the celebrities who showed up to luncheon. They’re all so pretty. Pretty celebs are the best, don’t you think?
