The 2023 “Cool Comedy Hot Cuisine” fundraiser for the Scleroderma Research Foundation was filled with tributes to the late comedian and scleroderma research advocate Bob Saget, who died in 2022.
Held at the Edison Ballroom in New York City on Wednesday night as part of the 19th annual New York Comedy Festival, the event was filled with tributes to Saget, who worked with the foundation for 30 years to raise money and awareness about the ravages of scleroderma, a devastating autoimmune disease.
Jeff Ross hosted the event, opening by saying, “Tonight will be a tribute to Bob, but also a look ahead at what we’re doing in the fight against scleroderma.”
Thanks to an auction featuring items like a 10-day resort trip to Bali and a five-day trip to Tuscany as well as donations made during the event, the foundation raised an impressive $1.2 million for the cause.

One of the bright spots this past film year was the success of Disney’s Frozen. On the strength of it’s more modern princesses and an infectious score, the film set box office records and has garnered two Oscar nominations, Animated Feature and Best Original Song for “Let It Go”, its infectious hit. In honor of Frozen’s nomination, we figured it was time to take a look at the history of animated movies in Original Song.
The history of animated films picking up nominations and wins in Best Original Song is a tale as old as time (see what I did there?). Since the 1930s, animated films have won this award 13 times and over 50 nominations, which you can see below. This is an even greater feat when you think about the consideration that animated films get when lists of musicals are made (they...
