True to form, the Seventeenth Annual Genesis Awards

succeeded in mixing Hollywood glitz and celebrity with

the not so glamorous truth about the treatment of animals.

Presented by The Humane Society of the United States

Hollywood Office, formerly The Ark Trust, this year’s

gala event, hosted by Eric Roberts and Gena Lee Nolin,

once again honored an outstanding array of individuals

from the news and entertainment media for increasing

public awareness of animal issues.

Among the 23 distinguished recipients of this year’s

awards were Spirit: Stallion of The Cimarron, 8 Simple

Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter, The Practice,

World News Tonight With Peter Jennings, Everwood,

Celebrity Justice, and music legend Peter Gabriel, who

won the Doris Day Music Award for Animal Nation

from The Wild Thornberries movie soundtrack.

While the emphasis remained on drawing attention to the plight

of animals everywhere, the Seventeenth Genesis Awards also

provided its fair share of lighthearted and inspiring moments.

Lending comic relief to this year’s proceedings were the inimitable

" Kermit the Frog " , an awardee for the television movie, Kermit’s

Swamp Years, which condemned class room dissections, and

" Moondoggie " , the canine star of Legally Blonde, who proved

that all Genesis presenters are entitled to the star treatment.

Other less demanding celebrity presenters included Billy

Baldwin, Linda Blair, James Cromwell, Kaley Cuoco, Amy

Davidson, Shannon Elizabeth, Michael Feinstein, Matt Gallant,

Tippi Hedren, Wendie Malick, Catherine Oxenburg, Michelle

Phillips, Chynna Phillips-Baldwin Melissa Rivers, Doris Roberts,

Charlotte Ross, Amy Smart, Aisha Tyler and Steve Valentine.

But for many the star of the show was Guest of Honor Lek

Chailert who received a rousing standing ovation for her work

in saving the neglected and abused elephants of Thailand.
