Brad Pitt makes appearance

This was Pitt's first public outing since being discharged from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center .

Pitt, 41, checked himself into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on July 11, complaining of flu-like symptoms. He went home two days later.

The actor was in Ethiopia recently with his "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" co-star Angelina Jolie to pick up the actress' newly adopted baby girl, Zahara. Pitt's publicist, Cindy Guagenti, has declined to say if he contracted the illness while in Africa.

After giving a quick kiss on the cheek to presenter Emmy Rossum, Pitt accepted a $250,000 check for the Film Foundation Inc., which restores old movies.
