Oscars 2016: Hollywood's A list hit the red carpet for a night at the movies
As Hollywood gears up for the Oscars the stars are getting ready to put their best foot forward on the red carpet ahead of the 88th Academy Awards. On social media the excitement is palpable, as the A-listers prepare to celebrate the year's best movies.
Adele was one of the famous names tweeting a good luck message to Leonardo Dicaprio. Despite three previous nominations, the golden statuette has so far eluded the 41-year-old actor who is tipped to bag the award this year for his role as Hugh Glass in The Revenant. Alluding to the clock in the Titanic, where lovers Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater meet, she wrote: "Good luck Leo! Everyone loves you because you're the best. Meet me at the clock anytime bruv X."
The Hello singer is of course already an Oscar winner herself, having bagged the coveted award for her 2013 James Bond movie soundtrack, Skyfall.

Pre-Oscar preparations were well underway with the stars selecting their all-important gowns and jewellery. Cate Blanchett who is nominated for her role in Carol modelled diamonds from Tiffany's while Jennifer Lopez oozed old school Hollywood glamour at her agent's pre-Oscars party on Saturday.
Sharing a selfie, she said: "Hello... #CAAparty #Oscarweekend #bronxgirl doing #hollywoodishh #goodtimes." Behind the scenes, the red carpet was being rolled out and the giant Oscar statues lining the way to The Dolby Theatre were given a final respray and polish.
E! host Guiliana Rancic took her spot on the red carpet early. "'Red carpet rehearsals with these two beauties @chaneliman @mrbradgoreski See everyone tomorrow on E!!!' wrote the mother of one.

Quantico star Priyanka Chopra, who will be presenting an award, couldn't conceal her excitement as she attended a pre-Oscars bash, while Best Supporting actor nominee Sylvester Stallone was anticipating a "memorable night."
As well as the winners, on the night all eyes will be on host Chris Rock, who will be traversing the minefield of the 'lilywhite' Oscars controversy. The comic was being pressured to pull out of the role after celebrities like 50 Cent and Tyrese Gibson urged him to back out of the awards show following the ongoing race row. Several A-list actors including Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith are skipping the awards in protest at the lack of diversity.

While Whoopi Goldberg sent a message of support to Rock, movie mogul Harvey Weinstein said the comedian will ensure that the point about the lack of representation is made. "I just can imagine Chris Rock's opening remarks," he said. "If anybody's planning on boycotting the Oscars, don't, because Chris Rock is gonna annihilate every one of us in the first 20 minutes of the show, and it will be well worth watching.
"It will be an Oscars to remember." The 88th Academy Awards will be held on February 28 at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Centre in Los Angeles. The ceremony will be televised live on the ABC Network.
