A plethora of Hollywood’s elite converged in Los Angeles for the annual Oscars class photo, offering a glimpse into the camaraderie and competitive spirit of this year's Academy Awards nominees. With the Oscars set for Sunday, March 2nd, the cherished tradition of a class photo remained intact despite the earlier cancellation of the nominees luncheon due to wildfires in the vicinity.
Among the prominent nominees was Ariana Grande, who graced the front row alongside fellow actress Cynthia Erivo. Their close friendship, formed during their promotional activities for the film adaptation of "Wicked," was palpable as they shared smiles and excitement. The dynamic duo is also set to perform a medley from the film during the Oscars, generating great anticipation among fans.
The photo also revealed notable fashion choices, particularly a colorful jumper sported by producer Maya Gnyp of the documentary short "I Am Ready, Warden." Her eye-catching style drew attention and added a warm touch to the atmosphere.
The front row sparkled with emerging favorites such as Zoe Saldaña, Mikey Madison, and Monica Barbaro, each vying for accolades in a competitive field. Saldaña, tipped for a win for "Emilia Pérez," seemed comfortably poised, while Madison faces tight competition for leading actress.
James Mangold made a memorable entrance by arriving late, earning cheers from fellow nominees for his appearance in the best director category, marking his first time nominated. Meanwhile, the cast of "Black Box Diaries" showcased their unity with a heartwarming gesture.
While prominent figures like Demi Moore, Guy Pearce, and Edward Norton occupied the back row, they continued to captivate with their presence, although slightly obscured from the photo's focus. The songwriting team of Bernie Taupin and Brandi Carlile represented a bright note in the original song category, despite Sir Elton John's absence from the gathering.
Notably, Timothée Chalamet drew attention for appearing somewhat isolated during the photo-taking, reflecting a different strategy compared to other nominees. Actor Ralph Fiennes represented British talent within the competition, ensuring that the cinematic diversity was present even if some nominees were missing.
The event also highlighted the enigma of missing nominees like Kieran Culkin and Karla Sofía Gascón, with the latter’s recent controversies stirring conversations among the attendees.
As the nominees exited the gathering filled with anticipation and excitement, the lingering discussion about pending wins and the unforgettable moments that lie ahead at the Oscars remains a constant buzz in Hollywood.
