Five days before the Academy Awards, nominees from various categories came together for a special Oscars orientation event at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. This event served as a replacement for the traditional Oscars luncheon that was canceled due to the Southern California wildfires.
With the voting process completed and winners decided, the atmosphere at the event was jovial and friendly. Nominees mingled and socialized, with best actress favorites and best actor front-runners engaging in conversations and hugs.
