After being canceled last year due to the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, the annual Oscars Nominees Luncheon was back Tuesday at the Beverly Hilton. Nominees across all 24 categories mingled and schmoozed before taking part in the traditional class photo.
The event, which dates back to the 1980s, marks the first major Oscars celebration in the lead-up to the ceremony March 15.
The unofficial dress code was understated chic, with many of the women in black. Emma Stone wore a Julie de Libran blazer dress with a plunging neckline. Elle Fanning, in Givenchy by Sarah Burton, also opted for a suit dress. Kate Hudson brought a pop of color in red Lanvin with black leather opera gloves. Teyana Taylor leveled up the leather in a low-cut dress. The men, including Michael B. Jordan and Leonardo DiCaprio, sported subdued double-breasted suits, with Timothée Chalamet among the few to stand out in electric blue.
The 98th Academy Awards, hosted by comedian Conan O’Brien for the second year in a row, will air live — from the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood — on ABC and stream live on Hulu starting at 4 p.m. Pacific. The show will move to YouTube in 2029.
