Let’s face it, the Oscars red carpet is way more exciting than the actual three-hour long ceremony.
From the frocks, shocks, political statements and loved up couples – there’s a reason Hollywood goes slightly lala during the Oscars.
Leading the glamour is Aussie darling and Best Supporting Actress nominee Nicole Kidman, who admits making Lion has been a career highlight.
“That’s the beauty of these awards, because when a small film like this gets recognised and we don’t have the advertising budget and a huge ability to get it out there, it’s word-of-mouth. And that’s how the film is being discovered, and I’m just so, so happy that it was made and now it’s being seen,” the four-time Oscar nominee, one-time winner has mused of the powerful film.
Meanwhile La La Land is bound to clean up with a jaw-dropping 14 nominations, including Best Film, Best Leading Actress (Emma Stone) and Best Leading Actor (Ryan Gosling).
So sit back, relax, pop the bubbly (it might be 10am in Australia but’s it’s definitely champers o’clock in LA) as Now To Love brings you all highlights from the 89th Academy Awards red carpet arrivals at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California.
