The Highlights
After thanking Amy Smart and Carter Oosterhouse, who served as masters of ceremony, Lear reminded the audience that Gore headlined an EMA event in Santa Monica back in 1989, when he was still a senator. The former vice president himself took the podium after a set by Jason Mraz, and Gore ended his rousing speech with this call to action as the audience stood to applaud him: “Who are we? Those who destroy their own planet? I refuse to believe it; I refuse to accept it. Let’s get it done.”
