The stars were out for an Oscar nominee event held Tuesday. The Academy opted to hold a dinner for nominated artists prior to this Sunday’s Academy Awards instead of the annual luncheon, which had been canceled in the wake of the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year.

The annual event was postponed because of the L.A. wildfires, but finally returned as part of Oscars week, but without the applause meter (or Karla Sofía Gascón).
