Video: Stars on Obama Making History at Root Inaugural Ball

Film and television stars attended the Root Inaugural Ball Sunday night in Washington D.C. and they shared their feelings with "The Insider" about being a part of this historic inauguration.

 

Director Spike Lee was at the ball and he explained to "The Insider" that he wasn't there to work, but just to be a part of history.

"I'm not going to really try to think what I'm going to feel," Spike tells ET's Kevin Frazier. "I'm just going to experience -- but I know it's going to be a special feeling. I'm not here working; I just want to be a witness."
