In an unusual twist, the Oscars class photo was held just days before the Academy Awards, as wildfires in LA caused alterations to the typical schedule. On Tuesday, nominees mingled at a pre-awards dinner, with the captivating energy, camaraderie, and some standout fashion inspiring excitement for the big night.
Among the nominees were Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, who have inspired fans with their dynamic friendship while promoting their upcoming film "Wicked." The duo's bond was palpable during the class photo shoot, where they urged attendees to cheer with "Oscar nominee!" instead of the usual "cheese." Excitingly, the pair will also perform a medley from their film during the Oscars, marking a highlight of this year's ceremony.
Maya Gnyp, the producer of "I Am Ready, Warden," caught eyes with a vibrant jumper as she joined fellow nominees like Zoe Saldaña and Mikey Madison in the front row. Madison is in hot competition with Demi Moore for the leading actress trophy, while Saldaña is a key player in the race for best supporting actress.
The photo notably featured director James Mangold arriving just in time, who received cheers for making it into the frame despite being a bit tardy. Additionally, "Black Box Diaries" team members showcased their unique bond by striking a celebratory pose together.
Big names like Demi Moore, Edward Norton, and Guy Pearce took the back row, while the likes of composer Bernie Taupin and Brandi Carlile were seen together, representing their Best Original Song nomination despite Sir Elton John's absence at the gathering.
Notably, other stars like Kieran Culkin and Karla Sofía Gascón were missed at the event, stirring intrigue about their Oscars participation. As the night approaches, nominees are filled with energy, potential winners are brewing, and the buzz of anticipation continues to build as everyone gears up for the eminent awards ceremony.
