The CAA Pre-Oscars shindig was the place to be … with the best of the biz out to play at The Sunset Tower Hotel, gearing up for the glitz and glam to come on Sunday.
The legendary bash is known as one of the major Oscars warm-up events, and just like every year, Friday night’s shindig featured a who’s who in Hollywood with lots of the nominees — like Best Actor hopeful Cillian Murphy — in the mix and rubbing elbows.
Previous Oscar winners Viola Davis and Brendan Fraser were also part of the line-up — along with Chris Rock and Sacha Baron Cohen. Of course, it’s been 2 years since Chris was targeted by Will Smith onstage at the Oscars — so, it’s nice to see him back enjoying the festivities.
Some of the others mingling the night away were Danny DeVito, Demi Moore, Jeff Goldblum, Donald Glover, Sir Patrick Stewart, Best Actor nominee Jeffrey Wright, Chris Evans, Salma Hayek, Olivia Wilde, and Neil Patrick Harris.
The future of the movie biz was also on hand … younger actors like “May December” star Charles Melton and Anya Taylor-Joy, “Top Gun: Maverick’s Glen Powell and model Kaia Gerber.
Now, they’re not big screen stars, but the hosts with the most Andy Cohen and Kelly Ripa kept the party vibes going strong at the bash, which had DJ Rashida and Lady Sha spinning the beats.
CAA reps some of the biggest names in the biz — such as “Barbie” stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling — and it hosts this pre-awards bash every year to celebrate clients, colleagues and peers.
It always has a major turnout … and once again, it was one of the hottest tickets in town!
