Elton John Delivers Exclusive Performance and Raises $10.8 Million for AIDS Foundation at Annual Oscars Party


Elton John performed for a star-studded audience at his annual Oscar party.

The crowd, which included Patricia Arquette, Donatella Versace, Sharon Stone, Zooey Deschanel, Brandi Carlile, Danny DeVito, Rhea Pearlman, Tim Allen, Elizabeth Hurley, Alexis Bledel, Eric McCormack, Avril Lavigne, Heidi Klum and Melanie Lynskey, was regaled with a rousing rendition of “Are You Ready for Love,” assisted by the night’s musical headliners, the trio Gabriels. For more than 30 years, the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Award Party has been a preeminent Oscar-night event, raking in well over $100 million since the first gathering on Maple Drive in 1993. A live auction brought in millions for the Elton John AIDS Foundation, with an energized bidding war leading to a $500,000 sale for Chopard earrings from Maison’s.
