The reigning Best Actress (Brie Larson) with potential Best Supporting Actress winner Viola Davis at Women In Film.

[...] unlike the bottle service and sparkler bombast that normally takes place under the array of LED panels, the most Oscar-nominated actor of all time huddled on the stage reserved for carnation-wearing women such as Ava DuVernay, Viola Davis, Emma Stone, reigning Best Actress Brie Larson.

The scene inside WIF’s cocktail party, presented by BMW, Max Mara, Stella Atrois (who gave out chalices in the gift bags) and wines flowing from Dr. Madaiah Revana’s portfolio of Revana Family Vineyards.

Made in America producers Libby Geist and Caroline Waterlow in from the East Coast, actress/producer Alysia Reiner hanging with fellow producer Kristin Hahn, “Loving” associate producer Oge Egbuonu, and “Hacksaw Ridge” producers Lauren Selig and David Permut.

In addition to Permut, the number of men at WIF’s pre-Oscars party has skyrocketed since the event’s early days in Mandalay Entertainment chairman Peter Guber’s living room, where a life-size “Batman” figure and this party reporter accounted for two of the only “Y” chromosomes.

The annual celebration of the U.K.’s contribution to film and the creative industries, “Film Is Great,” took place at Fig & Olive.

“The film industry [generates] $1.3 billion dollars from foreign films made in the U.K., so it’s a big part of our economy,” Kim Darroch, the U.K.’s Ambassador to the U.S., told The Party Report.

Jessie J would go on to perform in front of a neon Union Jack for a crowd that included Jacqueline Bissett (politely stating her name at the alphabetically cued check-in tables) and Aisha Tyler (wearing a t-shirt that said “Wild Feminist”).

Elsewhere on Friday night, The Weinstein Company and Piaget held a cocktail kickoff party in the West Hollywood Hills (Kate Beckinsale navigated the snarling traffic to make it to the poolside soiree).

“Survivor” personalities Corinne Kaplan and Max Dawson celebrated the one year anniversary of their podcast “All the Fixins” with the show’s fan financial backers, some of whom flew in from across the country.
