Talk about a power breakfast! The Hollywood Reporter hosted their 24th annual Women in Entertainment Breakfast on Wednesday, celebrating the magazine’s 2015 Power 100 list,

The Girls star and creator, who made THR’s Power 100 list for the second year in a row, was the first to take the podium. “Some girls who grew up in the ‘90s dreamt of a luxury cruise with ‘N Sync, but my fantasy has always been a room full of Hollywood power bitches enjoying breakfast foods,” the feminist cracked. “I want to thank all of you for brilliantly and stylishly cleaning up the mess that Hollywood has made of equality and diversity. After all, isn’t that historically what women have been asked to do to, clean up messes that don’t belong to them?" (Photo: Getty Images)
Robert Redford was on hand to honor Barbra Streisand, his co-star in 1973’s The Way We Were, with the event’s highest honor, the Sherry Lansing Award, which recognizes a woman who’s a pioneer and a leader in her field. "Gender discrimination drives me crazy,” the Oscar and Emmy winner said during her acceptance speech. “Women are still treated as second-class citizens when it comes to equal pay in the workplace and equal representation in Congress.” (Photo: Getty Images)
Actresses Meagan Good and Chloe Grace Moretz had some coffee talk at the shindig. Their convo surely included Moretz’s comment last week that the live action version of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid will be “progressive for young women in this day and age.” (Photo: Getty Images)
A few fellows, including Sean Penn, were also invited to the soiree. The actor introduced philanthropist Melinda Gates, who told the crowd that after turning 50 last year, she decided to “spend the rest of my life lifting up women and girls,” which she definitely did Wednesday. “As you well know, the entertainment industry has an outsized impact on shaping society,” she said. “The worlds you create on screen help expand possibilities for everyone and the world we live in. You have the ability to reflect the world around you. You’re the ones who can project us into a future where everyone, everyone is valued equally.” She concluded, “I’m asking all of you to step up and create a society that tells every girl, 'Go get it!’ And I’m here in Los Angeles today because you’re exactly the ones who can greenlight that future."

Dunham was probably pleased to see Disney star Peyton List, 17, mingling with former High School Musical actress Ashley Tisdale, 30. In one part of her speech, Dunham asked the women in the room to support one another as well as younger generations. "I am advocating for all of us here to make it our mission to use our resources and turn this around as a team,” she said. “To consider women, people of color, LGBTQ people, not just tell their stories but also tap them for jobs that we have historically accepted as being done by white dudes in polar fleeces."

Selma Blair, who plays Kris Jenner in the upcoming TV series American Crime Story, bonded with the Kardashian momager herself (and actress Rita Wilson), at the fete. Jenner, one of the day’s honorees, obviously enjoyed their time together, since she paid Blair the high compliment of posting a photo of them together on Instagram. "Had the best inspirational morning with this beauty,” Jenner captioned it. (Photo: Getty Images)
