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.

The cast of “Conclave” has accepted congratulations from generations of big stars backstage at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

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.
