On Dec. 6, Fox chairman and CEO Jim Gianopulos drew VIP revelers to his Spanish-style Brentwood house as host of the studio's holiday fete. The bash, also a coming- out party for co-chairman Stacey Snider, lured a who's who of filmmakers (James Cameron, Jean-Marc Vallee), actors (Reese Witherspoon, Michael Keaton, Robert Duvall, Laura Dern), execs (Emma Watts, Nancy Utley, Steve Gilula, Claudia Lewis) and Fox friends (Jeffrey Katzenberg).

Cameron turned heads with his slim frame thanks to a vegan diet, and Bryan Singer squired MichelleClunie, who is pregnant with his first child. The actress was overheard saying how their relationship is the "most important" in her life and that the duo can't wait to co-parent, while Andy Serkis whispered his opening line from the trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens into THR's ear. Serkis wouldn't say whom he plays in the J.J. Abrams-directed reboot.
