The biggest stars in Hollywood gathered Monday afternoon for the Academy’s annual Oscar nominees luncheon—and David Canfield was on the scene, watching as Ted Sarandos worked the room, Tom Cruise snapped photos with the likes of Ke Huy Quan and Angela Bassett, and this year’s nominees gathered for a class photo—except a few no-shows, like lead-actress surprise Andrea Riseborough. It was a head-spinning affair even for nominated stars like Paul Mescal, who began the event by turning to Canfield and asking a simple question: “What happens, do we have lunch?”
Elsewhere in HWD, Tara Ariano reviews a delightfully dumb Netflix reality series called Perfect Match; Mescal sits with Canfield for an in-depth interview; the HWD team selects the 42 best romantic comedies ever, just in time for Valentine’s Day; and James B. Stewart and Rachel Abrams detail the stomach-turning behavior of elderly media titan Sumner Redstone in an excerpt from their new book, Unscripted.
