James Franco was the man of the evening at last night's star-studded Art of Elysium Heaven Gala in LA. He posed with his Spirit of Elysium award and Kirsten Dunst, whom he credited with getting him involved with the organization back when they worked together on Spider-Man 3. After hitting the red carpet, the stars enjoyed a cocktail hour with a Fatburger Truck, which Nicole Richie was particularly excited about. Jennifer Love Hewitt shared that she has her Golden Globes dress all picked out, and she'll be joining fellow party attendee Jake Gyllenhaal amongst tonight's nominees at the show. Jake didn't pose on his way into the AOE gala, but once inside he chatted with his friend and fellow godparent to Matilda Ledger, Busy Philipps. The celebrity attendees were treated to a Vogue fashion show featuring six designers and gorgeous hair done by Angus Mitchell Salon in Beverly Hills. Nicole, Rachel Bilson, Scott Caan, Elijah Wood, and more took the stage alongside the kids they work with, and everyone shared a bit of their experience working with the amazing organization. Art of Elysium Heaven Gala is a fantastic event every year, and this one was no exception. It's all leading up to today's big award season bash, so stay tuned as we update all night long from the action!
