Oscar nominees Meryl Streep, Rosamund Pike and Laura Dern kicked off Hollywood's biggest weekend in style at the eighth annual Women in Film Pre-Oscar Cocktail Party. The atmosphere at Hyde Sunset Kitchen + Cocktails in Los Angeles was relaxed and celebratory on Friday night, with nominees from a wide array of categories, from actresses and directors, including Laura Poitras (Citizenfour), to producers and production designers. "We can't just stop at Kathryn Bigelow," said Peter Fonda, a longtime supporter of Women in Film. "There are so many more women who are writers, who are actors, who are producers and they should be able to stand just even with all the males. Hollywood's got a screwball way of doing it" – AP
