Christopher Nolan, Robert Downey Jr., Cillian Murphy and Emma Thomas convened for a final toast before Sunday's Academy Awards ceremony. The blockbuster film is expected to win almost all the awards such as Best Picture and Best Director.

And we were able to create a solid Hollywood party. Hayek Pinault, Donald Glover, Channing Tatum, Zoe Kravitz, Charli XCX, Jon Hamm.
