With the California primary one week away, Hillary Clinton is winning the all-important Hollywood vote.

According to TheWrap’s updated master list of celebrity endorsements, Clinton scored an impressive 167 celebrity endorsements during the 2016 presidential cycle, while rival Bernie Sanders has clocked in 100.

While the Vermont senator has amassed an impressive and eclectic mix of Hollywood backers including Miley Cyrus, Seth MacFarlane, Shailene Woodley, Josh Hutcherson and Susan Sarandon, Clinton’s list arguably has more star power. It includes Steven Spielberg, George Clooney, Robert DeNiro, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Dustin Hoffman, Beyonce, Matt Damon, Lena Dunham, Barbara Streisand, Ellen DeGeneres and Harvey Weinstein.

While pundits and scholars argue that celebrity endorsements have no effect whatsoever when it comes to persuading voters, they certainly help with fundraising. Just look at the numbers.

According to OpenSecrets.org, Clinton has raised close to $12 million dollars from the entertainment industry so far (including figures in TV, movies and music), while Sanders collected a little over a million.

We’ll keep updating the list as more celebrities chime in. In the meantime, here is TheWrap’s most up-to-date rundown of Clinton v. Sanders’ race for Hollywood endorsments:
