One of Emmy weekend’s biggest pre-parties took place last night (September 13, 2025) in Century City, CA, when Emmy Awards nominees and presenters, along with some of the most powerful entertainment industry influencers, joined together for MPTF’s 19th annual “Evening Before” benefit.

The annual event, co-chaired by Uzo Aduba, Colin Farrell, Kathryn Hahn, Ethan Sandler, Adam Scott, and Naomi Scott, raised over $2 million.

“I’m thrilled to be a co-chair of MPTF’s Evening Before benefit with Uzo, Kathryn, and Colin. MPTF has stepped up during a very challenging past few years to support the entertainment community, and I’m proud to be a part of a fundraiser that will help to sustain that vital support,” said co-chair Adam Scott.

Co-chair Uzo Aduba added, “This incredible organization raises crucial funds and provides a host of other services for our industry family when they need it most. I’m excited to celebrate everyone’s great accomplishments while supporting a cause that helps many generations.”

Kathryn Hahn noted, “MPTF has been there for our community for over 100 years and this celebration is a great way to come together in the spirit of taking care of our own.”

Colin Farrell stated, “I’ve been involved with MPTF for many years now, and it is such an honor and a privilege to see the extraordinary work they do and the difference they make in the lives of so many, every single day. Events like ‘Evening Before’ are on the surface a chance to socialize and celebrate the industry, but more importantly, this evening is a chance for us to meet the sponsors that make MPTF’s efforts possible. Without the support of so many, the life-affirming mission of the Motion Picture and Television Fund would be impossible.”
