"Getting to interview Viola Davis last night at the 2012 Crystal + Lucy Awards only confirmed why this woman is a Glamour Do in every way possible. She is someone who--at the age of 45--became a &amp;quot;newcomer&amp;quot; to Hollywood and struggled with the same insecurities, self-doubt, and wonderment that all of us deal with when trying to go after our dreams. The fact that she actually admits that and embraces it? Pure respect. The evening, hosted by Golden Globe award-winning actress Jenna Elfman and sponsored by Max Mara, Swarovski, and Kodak, raised funds and awareness for the Women in Film foundation and its many educational and philanthropic programs. Before I get to Meryl Streep introducing Viola and Viola&amp;#x27;s extraordinary speech, check out the pictures of all the amazing women that came out to support their peers! Christina Applegate in Max Mara with a Daniel Swarovski clutch, Chloe Grace Moretz in Max Mara. Nia Vardalos and Kate Flannery, both in Max Mara. Nia got a big laugh when I told her that her husband, Ian Gomez, is my outgoing message on my voicemail. When Ian did an interview for Glamour (coming soon!) as Javier&amp;amp;mdash;his memorable character from Felicity&amp;amp;mdash;he also recorded my VM as Javier! Some friends of mine love it, while others&amp;amp;mdash;like my Mom, called me worried that a gay Mexican man got a hold of my cell phone and somehow changed the outgoing message. (Don&amp;#x27;t worry&amp;amp;mdash;you&amp;#x27;ll all get a chance to hear it soon!) Channing Tatum&amp;#x27;s leading lady, wife Jenna Dewan, wowed in a mint green jumpsuit by Max Mara with a Daniel Swarovski clutch. Poppy Montgomery looking gorgeous with her red locks. Colbie Smulders in Max Mara with Swarovski jewels Host of the evening, Jenna Elfman, was hysterical, especially when it came to praising presenter Meryl Streep. Finally, here&amp;#x27;s the two ladies that brought the house down with their mutual love for one another. Check out the video of Meryl introducing Viola. Here&amp;#x27;s part 2. Pretty moving, right? So inspirational! Here&amp;#x27;s what I want to know. If you could star in a movie with any of the actresses that were at the Women in Film&amp;#x27;s Power in Numbers event last night, who would it be and why? Tell me!
