Oscars Eve Party Report: Nominees Celebrate with George Clooney (Photos)

On Oscars eve, George Clooney, Leslie Bibb, Sam Rockwell and Jack Black were just a few of the big names at the Motion Picture and Television Fund's Annual "Night Before" bash on the Fox Lot. With the help of Leonardo DiCaprio, Gal Gadot, Jon Hamm, Tom Cruise and nearly all of the studio chiefs, they raised $5 million for social services and financial assistance for members of the entertainment community in need.

Over at Madeo in West Hollywood, lead actress and actor nominees Margot Robbie and Daniel Kaluuya made one of the final stops of the campaign season a prestige outing. Charles Finch and Chanel's Pre-Oscar Awards Dinner is a coveted invite. 

The Brits were best prepared for the cold and rainy weather over Oscar weekend in Los Angeles. They tented the Hancock Park residence of British Consul General Michael Howells (left) from curbside to the backyard for the Film Is GREAT reception on Friday night. Inside, Howells entertained guests like Andy Serkis and nominee Gary Oldman with his take on the "30-second L.A. conversation" and called out the people who "have not had as great a year as they were expecting, like sexual abusers, racists and misogynists." Get him an agent. This was his second winning speech this season. Also Read: Royal Wedding Chatter at BAFTA: Hollywood-Royal Merger ‘Is Great News’ (Photos)

Power Huddle: In the middle of the Spirit Awards tent on Saturday afternoon, Allison Janney, Margot Robbie, Greta Gerwig and Saoirse Ronan had all the social gravity. 

Meanwhile backstage, an odd pairing sprung up. That's "The Room" maestro Tommy Wiseau with Chadwick Boseman, the man of the moment. They met up inside DirecTV's winners lounge. 

Yvonne Orji, Tessa Thompson, Ava DuVernay, Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira and Dee Rees group hugged at Janelle Monae and Belvedere Vodka's "Fem the Future" brunch at Catch in West Hollywood on Friday, one of the stronger turnouts of the weekend.

Varda would go on to win at Saturday's Spirit Awards, getting a blast of good luck from fellow Oscar nominees and actual women in film like Tatiana S. Riegel, Rachel Morrison, Laura Checkoway, Diane Warren and Kate Davis. Jane Walker by Johnnie Walker was the cocktail pour of choice.
