Young Hollywood stars toast Oscars week at Vanity Fair Vanities Party

WATCH: Final Oscars presenters revealed

Oscars week is officially underway in Hollywood, and the year's rising stars gathered Wednesday for Vanity Fair's annual soiree, the Vanities Party: A Night for Young Hollywood. 

The event, held at Bar Marmont in West Hollywood, was attended by celebrities and public figures including Odessa A'zion, Kaia Gerber, Storm Reid, Paris Jackson, Chase Infiniti, Rowan Blanchard, Jake Shane, Role Model, Tom Daley and more.

When asked which film they were rooting for on Oscars Sunday, one title kept coming up: "Sinners," which received a record 16 nominations this year.

Actor Jack Reynor said he'd like to see Michael B. Jordan win the Oscar for best actor for his performance in "Sinners," while actress Auli'i Cravalho said she was rooting for Wunmi Mosaku for best supporting actress for her performance in the same film. 

"She is devastating and stunning, and I am rooting for her with my whole heart," Cravalho said.

Filipina actress Liza Soberano, meanwhile, said she was "filled with pride" when "Sinners" cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw, who is of Filipino and Creole descent, was nominated. 

Hosted by Conan O'Brien, the 98th Academy Awards take place Sunday, March 15, at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT, broadcasting live on ABC and streaming on Hulu.

On Oscars Sunday, Vanity Fair will also be hosting its 32nd annual Oscar Party. For the first time ever, the event will be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. 

Vanity Fair global editorial director Mark Guiducci said he is excited to "create a room [in which] the winners of the Oscars get to let their hair down."

"They've been on an odyssey of an awards season all over the world, and this is literally the last stop," Guiducci said of the iconic party. "I am excited to see them have a chill night after everything."

As the stars prepare for the celebratory weekend, some of them dished about where they'll be on Sunday and whether they'll be watching the Oscars from home or in-person at the Dolby Theatre. 

Some, including "Moonshot" star Lana Condor and "Love Story" star Tonatiuh, said they will be at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Award Party, where actress and "Dancing with the Stars" season 32 Mirrorball champion Xochitl Gomez is on the host committee. 

"I'm so excited. It's a wonderful event, it's a wonderful thing to support, and I'm just so grateful that they even thought about me," Gomez said. "To be part of the host committee was just a true honor."

Wednesday night's Vanities Party also served as a reunion for several stars, including "Tell Me Lies" actors Branden Cook, Alicia Crowder, Sonia Mena, Cat Missal and Spencer House. 

On the heels of the release of the viral "XO, Kitty" season 3 trailer, the stars of the hit show --  Anna Cathcart, Gia Kim and Sang Heon Lee -- also stepped out on the carpet.

Condor, who starred in the "To All The Boys I've Loved Before" franchise, of which "XO, Kitty" is a spinoff, also joined in on the reunion.
