Judd Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall, Matthew Broderick, Molly Ringwald, Jon Cryer, Macaulay Culkin and Ally Sheedy assembled onstage to offer tribute to John Hughes. Curiously absent were Robert Downey Jr. (he was sitting right there in the audience) and co-host Steve Martin. They were in Hughes movies too, darn it!
