It was my first time attending, but there were so many friends there it just felt like a regular party (albeit with a red carpet and flashing cameras). My friend Liz and I had a blast.

The great Molly Haskell! It was an honor to be in her presence, to be there for her acceptance of Career Achievement award. The speech of the night &#8211; the speech of the century &#8211; was given by Tiffany Haddish, who won Best Supporting Actress for her performance in <i>Girls Trip<\/i> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/?p=133699\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">wrote about her here<\/a>).
