Rami Malek and Chris Pine
“Mr. Robot” hung with “Captain Kirk” at W Magazine’s Best Performances bash with Audi, part of an A-list crowd that filled the Chateau Marmont penthouse on Thursday night (Jan. 5).
Emma Stone with Mahershala Ali & “Stranger Things” star Millie Bobbie Brown with Amy Adams
The casts from leading films mixed and mingled. Best Actress frontrunner Stone and Supporting Actor Ali got familiar, while the “Stranger Things” breakout was a favorite of “Arrival” star Adams.

Amongst a crowd that included models (Kelly Rohrbach, Shaun Ross), actors (Evan Rachel Wood, Hailee Steinfeld) and execs (Bob Weinstein and Dana Brunetti), the most boss talent got their Audi Q7’s pulled right in to the Chateau driveway to dodge the throng of fans, paparazzi, and autograph hounds out front.
Shock of the Night: Barbra Streisand
Barbra Streisand casually strolled out on to the west balcony around 10 p.m., escorted by Ken Sunshine and hosts Hirschberg and Stefano Tonchi. Chris Pine and Streisand recorded a duet together, but had never met.
“My soulmate,” Pine said as he greeted the legend. Streisand responded by grabbing his face with both hands and they eventually took cell phone pics together.

James Brolin, Hirshberg, Streisand, and Tonchi
The penthouse entrance got a mirrored makeover.
Those only look like the Snapchat spectacles on Chateau proprietor and party co-host Andre Balazs. Later in the night, a coed DJ duo from Spain heated up the living room.
Hailee Steinfeld indulged the paps out front.
The hallways were covered in the Best Performances Portfolio images, which were shot by Craig McDean and styled by the charismatic Edward Enninful.
Amara Karan and Anna Baryshnikov
The conflicted lawyer from HBO’s “The Night Of” (Karan, left) and Sandy — the girlfriend from “Manchester By the Sea” — are two faces who were not on the scene a year ago.
W editor-in-chief Stefano Tonchi hung with the boys: Balazs, Tom Ford, and Valentino’s Carlos Souza…
While the fashion clique posed in one of the penthouse’s bedrooms.
That’s star stylist Erica Pelosini (whose own instagram reads like a glossy Conde Nast book) and socialite Caroline Vreeland in a candid pose.
Dana Brunetti
The former Relativity chief anchored in the living room entertaining this group as luminaries like Streisand, Russell Simmons, and Rami Malek weaved in to this private hideaway with its own Moët bar, where some guests helped themselves.
Lynn Hirschberg and Rami Malek
“I didn’t come for Barbra [Streisand],” Malek told host Hirschberg. “I came for you.” Others coming for Hirshberg and Tonchi included…
Chloe Sevigny…
a healthy, virbant, and energetic looking Val Kilmer (one guest grabbed my arm in shock when she saw him walk by)…
“Transparent” creator Jill Soloway and Lauren Cioffi…
And Ruth Negga, with “Outlander’s” Caitriona Balfe
EARLIER: Jimmy Fallon and “Rocky’s 3”
The Globes host and Sylvester Stallone’s three daughters, who serve as this year’s Miss Golden Globe, impersonate “Charlie’s Angels” in front of the Beverly Hilton on Thursday morning (Jan. 5).
Joined by HFPA President Lorenzo Soria and Dick Clark Productions executives Allen Shapiro and Barry Adelman, this group logs some manual labor by covering the driveway of the hotel in red.
Bryce Dallas Howard, Gina Rodriguez, and Olivia Culpo
This trio headlined champagne house Moët & Chandon’s promotional launch of a mini film festival at the Doheny Room in West Hollywood.
Fashion influencers descended. Over a million followers caught this cross-posted photo of a fantastically diverse squad: Influencers Dani Song, Marianna Hewitt, Conna Walker, Brittany Hampton, and Kristen Noel Crawley at the Moet Moment Film Festival on Wednesday night.
John Lee Hancock, Michael Keaton, and Brian Grazer at Cut
After “Birdman” and “Spotlight”, it’s not an awards season without Michael Keaton. “The Founder,” the biopic about McDonald’s Ray Kroc is still in the awards race for this season despite the latest possible debut. One critic gushed that it hasn’t grabbed one-hundredth of the media ink those others have. But wow, is [Keaton] worthy!”. On Wednesday night, this crew toasted to the film with Casamigos at Cut Lounge in the Beverly Wilshire.
The punny drink names of the night: “The Quarter Founder” and “McMargarita”.
