12 things we saw from Ariana Grande to Timothée Chalamet

Ariana Grande, Timothée Chalamet and Demi Moore were among the Oscar nominated who gathered in Los Angeles on Tuesday for the annual “class photo”.

Before the Academy Awards on Sunday (March 2), the nominees of all categories were invited to mix during dinner and cocktails, since an agitated awards race reaches its conclusion.

The class photo, the highlight of the film’s calendar, is usually taken much earlier in the awards season, at the nominees lunch, but that event was canceled this year due to the forest fires of Los Angeles.

Here are 12 things we saw in this year’s class photo:

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande have spent the last months crying, maintaining space and stroking the other’s fingers while promoting the adaptation of the Wicked screen.

The two actresses have redefined the cinema press tour in recent weeks thanks to their absolute worship with each other, an energy that they will have to recreate at the end of this year when they do everything again for the launch of the second part.

Before the photo was taken, instead of saying cheese, Ento shouted: “They all say ‘Oscar nominated!'”

Last week, it was confirmed that the couple will perform a mixture of songs from the film during the Oscar ceremony that will last 10 minutes.

Wicked is the closest that the Oscars have this year for a box office success in the Barbie form last year, and expect the potpourri to recreate the energy of Ryan Gosling’s viral performance of I’M Just Ken last year.

We are aware that the weather is warming up and the sun is coming out before we rush towards spring, but, nevertheless, we are always attending a colorful cozy sweater and we need to investigate the origin of this as an urgent priority.

The woman with the impeccable sweater selection in the class photo is Maya Gnyp, a producer of I Am Ready, Warden, who is nominated for the best Short documentary.

The film follows the Texas Death Row inmate, John Henry Ramire, in his last days.

They joined Ariana and Cynthia in the first row were interim nominees Zoe Saldaña, Mikey Madison and Monica Barbaro.

Saldaña is almost certain that he will win the best cast actress for Emilia Pérez, after having taken the trophy in a series of precursor events, including the BAFTA, the SAG Awards and the Golden Globes.

As a result, his classmates nominated for the category as Barbaro, who plays Joan Baez in Bob Dylan biopic of a complete stranger, have had to practice their best faces of “I am happy to be nominated” this year.

Madison, however, is CO -Frontrunner in a tight race for the leading actress. Anora’s star faces Demi Moore by the substance in a category seen as a dead heat.

James Mangold, nominated this year for a complete stranger, is one of Hollywood’s most respected and beloved directors.

So why is he sitting in a seat in the hall in the second row, far from all his friends, wearing shy?

It is probably because he only took the photo of the class for the skin of his teeth, Arriving late at the event to a affectionate collective groan followed by cheers from his nominees.

Despite a distinguished Hollywood career, Mangold is a candidate for the first time in the category of best director, as well as his nominees Coralie Fargeat, Sean Baker, Brady Corbet and Jacques Audiard.

In a year in which disappointingly few of the stars got fun faces or made striking hand gestures while taking the photo, we applaud the Black Box Diaries team for joining the hands and celebrating.

They are the director of the film, Shiori Ito (second left), the editor Ema Ryan Yamazaki (extreme right) and the producers Hanna Aqvilin and Eric Nyari.

The film, nominated in the category of documentary functions, examines an investigation of sexual aggression in Japan.

Sitting in the back row, so far from the photographer that his faces are somewhat blurred and unknown, there are three of the biggest stars in this year’s awards.

In the center is the star of Demi Moore substances, nominated for playing an aerobic instructor that takes a black market drug to create a younger and more beautiful version of itself.

She joins both sides by the nominees of the support actor, Guy Pearce (left), who is recognized for her role in the brutalist, and Edward Norton, who is nominated for playing Pete Seger in a complete stranger.

The composer Bernie Taupin and singer and composer Brandi Carlile also passed in the first row.

The couple is nominated in the best category of original songs to write Never Too Late, the main song of Sir Elton John’s recent documentary.

However, Sir Elton himself was not there, despite co -writing the song with the couple.

Oscar is likely to attend Sunday, but he will not sing his song, since the Academy has eliminated the original song nominees acting during this year’s ceremony.

Instead, Doja Cat, Lisa de Blackpink, Queen Latifah and Raye will be among the other artists during the ceremony along with the evil potpourri.

Timothée Chalamet joined his nominees only a few days after the surprise victory at the SAG Awards for a complete stranger.

In his speech, The actor spoke of His desire to be “one of the great” of Hollywood.

However, the actor has not been campaigning as aggressively as the favorite Adrien Brody, and for the photo of the class, Chalamet took a seat in the hall, leaned down and put his fist on his chest.

Sitting right in front of him are the director of Anora, Sean Baker, and his producing wife Samantha Quan.

They added more star power to the blurred row of the best Adrien Brody actors, Colman Domingo and Sebastian Stan.

Brody is the favorite to win, for his role in the brutalist as a Hungarian architect who moves to the United States after World War II and takes under the wing of a rich business man.

Sing Sing Star Domingo plays an prison inmate that joins a performing arts program, while Stan is nominated for portraying a young Donald Trump.

The British nominated in the categories of action this year are Felicity Jones del Brutalista, Cynthia Erivo de Wicked and Ralph Fiennes de Conclave.

The actor was in the form of Fiennes, sitting in the back row along with the John “Divine G” of Sing Sing Whitfield.

It is unlikely that Fiennes wins the best actor, but if the conclave wins the Top Oscar, he will become the first actor who appeared in four winners of the best film.

It is understandable that not all the nominees were available to attend dinner: the best support actor, the favorite Kieran Culkin, was among the missing stars of the class photo.

But Others were conspicouous by their absence, Most Notable Emilia Pérez Star Karla Sofía Gascón.

The actress is a non -pleasant person in Hollywood at this time, After some historical tweets, he published He resurfaced in recent weeks, severely damaging the movie prizes in many categories.

However, it has been confirmed that he will attend the Oscar ceremony on Sunday, although it remains to be seen if he walks along the red carpet and will sit with his co -star.

Sing Sing Star Clarence Maclin was widely considered the most notable absence in the category of best support actor this year.

But it is still nominated in the Oscars thanks to the credit of its history in the film, which means that it is recognized in the best adapted script category.

Maclin was one of the real -life inmates in the Sing Sing prison, after being sentenced to 17 years in jail for theft, 29, and was a member of the prison rehabilitation program through the arts (RTA) .

In the class photo, Maclin, who plays a version of himself in Sing Sing, is checking his watch or possibly about to sneeze.
