Hollywood’s top stars will be packing the Beverly Hilton ballroom on Tuesday to help the HFPA give away a record $1.6 million to worthy causes. The association’s Grants and Installation Lunch will be the biggest gathering of talent and beauty the hotel has seen since the Golden Globes in January. “It is really gratifying that so many stars are giving up their time to join us in presenting the donations at our annual lunch,” said HFPA president Theo Kingma. The event will be hosted by Eva Longoria, and Nicole Kidman will open the proceedings by presenting a check for $350,000 to the Film Foundation for the restoration of classic movies. Other stars taking part will include  Liam Hemsworth, Colin Farrell, Olivia Wilde, Piper Perabo, Jonah Hill, Diane Kruger, Jason Bateman, Amber Heard, Vince Vaughn, Damien Bechir, Dermot Mulroney, Julie Delpy, Vin Diesel and  more.  The lunch will be streamed live on the HFPA website at www.Goldenglobes.org This year’s donations bring the amount given away by the HFPA to more than $18 million, which as well as providing grants and support for film-related causes, has gone towards establishing 925 scholarships and restoring 82 classic films.
