Margaret Cho won the competition. Guests experienced a live auction where Lily Tomlin auctioned a phone voice recording and threw in her blue Carolina Herrera dress worn to the Emmy’s! Maria Menounos jumped up impromptu to show everyone the dress on her phone and encouraged guests to give to help save the animals!

Earlier in the evening she spoke on her love for animals. "I've been an animal lover my whole life. I feel like they're the only ones who have ever gotten me. I remember vivid conversations with animals because I didn't speak English growing up. It's definitely a special connection," Menounos told THR. There were tons of donations from celebs throughout the evening and even music icon Cher got in on the action by donating 2 backstage Meet & Greets at an upcoming show in Las Vegas.
