Emceed by Nathan Fillion, the night also featured stars such as Samuel L. Jackson, Angelica Huston, Beau Bridges, and a surprise performance by Lady Gaga.
4Wall LA was tasked with providing lighting equipment for the event, including Martin MAC Viper Performance moving lights.
The Geffen"s Master Electrician, Darren Rezowalli, spoke of the quality of the gear from 4Wall as well as the support.
"The gear was like new and performed flawlessly, but what I was most impressed by is the positive and professional attitude of the staff at 4Wall LA," he said. "Every employee I have interacted with has a sense of pride in what they are doing. Also, they keep the shop so clean I would eat off of the floor."
