Our Favorite Photos From the Oscars Red Carpet

An array of stars turned up the wattage, including Emma Stone and Billie Eilish and Oscar newcomers like Colman Domingo and Danielle Brooks.

Photographs by Sinna Nasseri

Sinna Nasseri roamed the red carpet at the Dolby Theater looking for stars’ candid moments in his second year covering awards season for The Times.

The 96th Academy Awards bowed on Sunday with a return to tradition: The red carpet was, well, red. A year after Hollywood’s stars made their way across a champagne-colored rug, and several months after work stoppages led by actors’ and writers’ unions came to an end, they were greeted once again by the familiar décor.

And judging by the bright smiles captured by our photographer, Sinna Nasseri, who was on hand at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, those in attendance were in the mood to celebrate. The starry arrivals included cast and crew of the year’s most-talked-about films, from “Barbie” to “Oppenheimer” (the night’s big winner with seven Oscars) to “Poor Things.” A few of our favorite Oscars snaps are below for your scrolling pleasure. — REBECCA THOMAS
