The Cruise Room in the Oxford Hotel is always a favorite hangout of stars, as is Churchill’s cigar bar in the historic Brown Palace Hotel. George Clooney and Leonardo DiCaprio were spotted enjoying a social evening with Ben Affleck and wife Jennifer Garner, while J Lo, Cicely Tyson, Rev. Al Sharpton and Martin Luther King III were seen catching a ride together outside the hotel.

In addition to the long list of Hollywood’s A list, a continuous string of top musicians poured into town as if on a week long music festival. Sheryl Crow, Dave Mathews, John Legend and Stevie Wonder came together to entertain the crowds on Thursday night, with a heartfelt rendition of the national anthem sung by “Dream Girls” and “Sex & The City” Star Jennifer Hudson.

Among the list of celebs politically socializing were Spike Lee, Charlize Theron, Ashley Judd, Angela Bassett, Annette Bening, Chevy Chase, Steven Spielberg… and the list goes on. LA must be going through a ‘dry’ spell as the who’s who of Hollywood gather together in the Mile High City in support of this historical event.
