Hollywood Stars Excited To Be a Part of History

Film and television superstars showed their support and optimism for Barack Obama Monday night at the Creative Coalition inaugural dinner and "The Insider" was there for all the excitement.

"The Insider" was on the red carpet in Washington D.C. with Star Jones, Alfre Woodard, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon, Kerry Washington, and Josh Lucas.

Star Jones shared her excitement about being a part of such a historic event and expressed that the cold D.C. weather was not an issue for her.

"As an African American woman my ancestors had a whole lot more to go through then being a little cold and standing outside," she says. "I can’t wait to stand outside and just bask in the glory of the 44th President of the United States."
