William H. Macy, Dax Shepard, Matthew Morrison and Kristen Bell fundraise for UNICEF .Sean Penn awards Mike Medavoy .Transformed into a candlelit winter wonderland, the Beverly Wilshire was the site of the UNICEF ball Thursday night.In his introduction of Irena, Nick and Mike Medavoy, Sean Penn called out a few of his fellow presenters."I say this every time I come to these things, but the timing is a little bassackwards," Penn said of handing out awards, "because they really should do these things before they serve the alcohol. But in this case I feel liberated because Dennis Quaid and Brooklyn Decker will be up here soon and they're sauced."Mike Medavoy shared his excitement at receiving the Danny Kaye Award. "He was like me, a redhead," he began. "For us, this group, unless you're living in Ireland or unless you know Greek history in which redheads were thrown off of Mt. Olympus when they were born, is a small group."Lionel Richie performed for a crowd that included Quincy Jones, Megan Mullally, Kate Walsh, Matthew Morrison, Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell.
