Stars pack the Polo Lounge for Chanel and Charles Finch’s 17th pre-Oscar dinner

The dinner celebrates cinema and storytelling, drawing Oscar nominees, winners, and filmmakers to a longstanding partnership event known for its intimate atmosphere and industry prestige.

  • On Saturday, film producer Charles Finch and Chanel hosted their 17th annual pre-Oscar dinner at The Beverly Hills Hotel's storied Polo Lounge, gathering stars and filmmakers for an intimate evening.
  • About 30 years ago, Finch launched these gatherings to support international filmmakers without local connections; the partnership with Chanel transformed the event into one of Hollywood's most exclusive awards-season tickets.
  • With only 150 seats available, the dinner hosted luminaries including Kristen Stewart, Mick Jagger, and Wagner Moura, who mingled on the patio before moving inside for a seated meal.
  • KPop Demon Hunters co-director Maggie Kang said she was thinking about Sunday regarding her film's award prospects, while most guests adhered to curfews and departed by 10:30 p.m.
  • From Gabrielle Chanel's early Hollywood work in 1931 to current indie film support, the brand has maintained ties to cinema for nearly a century, reflecting commitment to storytelling artisans.
