2009 Genesis Awards Gala

There are few events that light up the socially conscious calendar the way the Genesis Awards do. This annual ceremony, sponsored by the Hollywood chapter of the Humane Society of the United States, is a star-studded celebration of animal awareness in the mainstream media. VN extends a warm round of congratulations to the prestigious Wyler Award recipients Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi as well as to Blinders for best documentary, Oprah for best talk show, and all the other winners. Even if they didn’t walk out with an award, we think all attendees were winners this year, since they were treated to an incredible vegan feast courtesy of star chef Tal Ronnen.
