The glitzy ceremony is being held at Santa Monica’s historic venue Barker Hangar today, with Scarlett Johansson, Margot Robbie, Jennifer Lopez and Brad Pitt among the big name nominees.

And while A-list attendees are vying for the top gongs, we’re really just in it for the spectacle that is the red carpet, which now available to stream on Foxtel.
