Samuel L. Jackson was honored by friends and colleagues last night at the American Cinematheque gala in LA. The event was sponsored by AMC, so Jon Hamm was out with his girlfriend to support Mad Men's home network, while JT hammed it up on stage. To help roast his former costar, he said, "I am here because onscreen and off, I feel nothing but love for the great Samuel L. Jackson. At least for tonight that mysterious 'L' stands for 'Love,' man love — and there's nothing wrong with it." Kerry Washington and Denzel Washington were also among the celebrity presenters of the night, but we'll have to watch it on Dec. 9 to see who stole the show.
To see more photos including Andy Garcia, George Lucas, and Vin Diesel, just read more.

Samuel L Jackson is friggin awesome! I love him!
Vin Diesel? Wow...he's been in hiding for a while. I guess being a daddy has calmed him down a bit.

I love Andy Garcia! When a Man Loves a Woman is one of my favorite movies
Alright, I'm done cheesin' now.
