Best. Dinner. Party. Ever.

Before she was honored with the "Ally for Equality Award at the 2015 HRC Los Angeles Gala Dinner by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), we chatted with Shonda Rhimes, the mastermind behind Scandal and Grey's Anatomy, as well as a producer on How to Get Away With Murder, on the red carpet and had one burning question: which showrunners she would want to share a great meal and a bottle (or two) of red wine with at a dinner party. You know, when she's not busy dominating the TV world.

Her answers, of course, were perfect, and we're now convinced heaven might just be landing a seat at this epic gathering. Hey, we'd even settle for being one of the servers.

And the five lucky showrunners invited to Shonda's dream showrunner dinner party are:

Mara Brock Akil, Girlfriends, The Game, Being Mary Jane

Lena Dunham, Girls

Jenji Kohan, Orange Is the New Black, Weeds

Damon Lindelof, Lost, The Leftovers

Joss Whedon, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, FirelyAngel, Dollhouse

Best dinner party ever or best dinner party ever?! And Shonda, just know we'd be more than happy to host this party on your behalf any time you'd like!
