We get Sandra Bullock, Blake Lively, several Mannings, Wendell Pierce and John Goodman (both of whom star in Treme, set in New Orleans), a very hairy Harry Shearer and a load of other stars. The spot directs viewers to restorethegulf.com, where you are asked to sign a petition "demanding a plan, fully funded and implemented, for the restoration of the Gulf of Mexico, its coastlines and its wetlands."
