30Several of Hollywood's biggest stars could be seen in the crowd, including Meryl Streep and De Niro.
31Pop singer Taylor Swift also joined the crowd as a nominee for her recent concert film.
32The ceremony at the Beverly Hilton hotel started Hollywood's yearly awards season, which ends with the Academy Awards on March 10.
