Wednesday night, Sharon Stone picked up a decidedly more laudable award for her long-term charity work on behalf of amfAR, which supports AIDS research and prevention.

I’ve been doing it 11 years,” Stone said. The star received the inaugural Roy London Award, which is named after her late acting coach. “I feel very emotional about it,” Stone said. “I had a big crying breakdown in the tub an hour ago.”

The award was presented at a star-studded amfAR gala at Cipriani, with Richard Gere, Woody Allen and Beyoncé Knowles also in attendance. The Dreamgirls star was happy to be there, and said she: “Young people need to have awareness of this disease.”
