This is, after all, the event that has historically delivered some of pop culture’s most memorable celebrity couple moments—hello, Liz Hurley and Hugh Grant. This year was no different. Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams canoodled on the carpet; Ryan Coogler shouted out his wife, Zinzi in his first Oscars acceptance speech; and Kylie Jenner (as usual) skipped the carpet and joined Timothée Chalamet inside the theater.
