But unlike most industry-dominated nights, the events had a touch of unexpected quirkiness to them. From naked Danny DeVito-birthing upholstered furniture at the Beverly Hills Hotel to uncanny Sarah Palin impersonators and Lil Jon on the red carpet for the 2011 L.A. Film Festival, it all happened at Last Night's Parties.

For the screening of Lee Tamahori's The Devil's Double starring Dominic Cooper, the night had some very special guests aside from the film community VIPs, and by that we mean Sarah Palin, George Bush and Jack Nicholson impersonators.
