Grey and Joel Grey were all smiles as they posed for photos on the red carpet. Grey wore an off-shoulder black gown, while Joel Grey sported a black tuxedo with a white shirt and vest.

"It's ultimately the people, the community... all of you... who have made this ride more outstanding than I could have imagined," he said.

Grey previously presented her dad with the Douglas Watt Lifetime Achievement Award at the 33rd annual Fred & Adele Astaire Awards in 2015.
