Stray confetti, empty bottles and maybe a few hangovers were still in evidence on January 3 of this year, as New Year’s celebrations had barely ended when the Palm Springs International Film Awards filled an enormous ballroom with stars and filmmakers in the thick of this year’s awards race.
The real world intruded and honoree Leonardo DiCaprio was unable to get to the desert resort in time because of military action in Venezuela, not too far from where he was vacationing off St. Barts. But Timothée Chalamet, Ethan Hawke, Kate Hudson, Michael B. Jordan, Rose Byrne, the cast and creators of “Hamnet” and “Sentimental Value” and others made it, representing movies that would go on to earn 59 Oscar nominations among them. (It would have been more if PS honorees Adam Sandler and Amanda Seyfried had gotten what they deserved, but every year has its disappointments.)
As usual, TheWrap was backstage with our exclusive photo studio, shooting our portfolio for the 14th time in a collaboration with our sister publication, TheWrapBook, and with the festival’s new presenting sponsor, Kering.
