Alicia Keys and Justin Timberlake share a moment under the watchful eye of the script supervisor, who kept the one-hour, commercial-free broadcast to time. Both Timberlake and the man he portrayed in “The Social Network” – Sean Parker – both made first-person appeals.

At 4:53, seven minutes before air, Executive Producer Gwyneth Paltrow gave welcoming remarks along with show producer Joel Gallen.

Jackson, Matt Damon, Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel, Seth Rogen, Taylor Swift, Alicia Keys, Sofia Vergara and Jeremy Renner, made appearances in the hourlong, commercial-free event that was aired on the big four television networks and HBO.
