This Valentine’s Day, we celebrate our close collaborators. Nominee JR, with a cardboard cutout of Agnès Varda, posed for a portrait at this year’s Oscars Lunch.

We also celebrate friendship. Here, a portrait of Oscar nominees Paul Thomas Anderson and Steven Spielberg, also from this year’s Nomination Luncheon.

And of course we celebrate love. Nominees Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani stopped by our Noms Lunch portrait booth.
