Every year, the same thing happens before the Oscars: just replace the teachers with stylists and the scruffy kids with nominated A-listers in nicer outfits, and you’ve got your Academy Awards class portrait.

The picture was taken during the annual Oscars luncheon and features the award candidates for 2024.
