Somber Reflections
Amid the glamour, several attendees including Mark Ruffalo wore "Ice Out" pins to honor the late Renée Macklin Good. The Cecil B. DeMille Award was presented to the legendary Helen Mirren.
O Allah, never let the world forget the suffering of our brothers and sisters in Palestine. Shower them with Your mercy, steady their hearts with patience, and replace their every tear with the light of peace. O Most Merciful, be their protector, their healer, their unbreakable hope. Ameen, ya Rabb al-ʿālamīn.
