Just five nights before the 97th Oscars, the Academy hosted a gathering at its museum in place of the traditional Oscar Nominees Luncheon, which was canceled in the wake of the Los Angeles wildfires.

Timothee Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Demi Moore and other Oscar nominees celebrated on Tuesday at a film academy dinner that gave the contenders a chance to mingle before Sunday's red-carpet awards show.

Academy Award nominees are preparing for what could be many historic moments when the ceremony is broadcast live on Sunday, March 2, on ABC. Leading the pack is Emilia Pérez, a Spanish-language musical crime comedy with 13 Oscar nominations — the most ever for a non-English-language film.

Lobbying the public to attract the votes of the academy is an odd practice — but you can’t say Chalamet hasn’t excelled at it.

Timothée Chalamet responded to his win for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role at the SAG Awards.

In addition to Brody, Chalamet prevailed over fellow Oscar nominees Ralph Fiennes (“Conclave”) and Colman Domingo (“Sing Sing”), as well as Daniel Craig (“Queer”), who was snubbed at the Oscars in favor of Sebastian Stan (“The Apprentice”).
