"Many of us will be scared and threatened and we can give comfort. Some of us will be happy because our voice was heard. Either way, it's a challenging moment so let's be extra sensitive and caring with others," Zimmer wrote to the agency's employees.
Across Hollywood, agents, studio executives, producers and thousands of rank-and-file employees showed up at work Wednesday in a daze. A majority of Hollywood's power brokers and up-and-comers supported Clinton. Her roster of donors reads like a who's who of Hollywood, including Universal's Ron Meyer, Jeff Shell and Donna Langley; Warner Bros.' Kevin Tsujihara, Sue Kroll and Toby Emmerich; Paramount's Brad Grey; Sony's Michael Lynton; 20th Century Fox's Stacey Snider; and Disney's Alan Horn. Harvey Weinstein, Legendary's Thomas Tull, CAA's Bryan Lourd and ICM's Chris Silbermann also were donors, and many top figures, including Scandal creator Shonda Rhimes and stars including Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney, hosted events for Clinton. (Entry to an August fundraiser hosted at Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's house was $100,000 per couple.)
There was also super PAC money organized by Jeffrey Katzenberg and Univision's Haim Saban on top of their personal contributions. All told, the Center for Responsive Politics reports Clinton garnered $22 million in contributions from the entertainment industry, compared to a mere $290,000 for Trump.
Now, Clinton's stunning defeat has left Hollywood in shock — and questioning whether it is out of touch with a wide swath of the country by assuming she would win. Or, as CBS Films president Terry Press observed, "political polls are about as reliable as movie tracking."
