Greeted by swarms of adoring fans, CIA agents and, of course, protestors (well, this is DC), hundreds of celebrity guests made their way down the red carpet yesterday to attend the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, held at the Washington Hilton.

Considered to be Washington’s ‘Oscars,’ the event features an awards presentation honoring journalists and their work, as well as star entertainment. (This year, Saturday Night Live’s Seth Meyers was a keynote speaker.) And like the Oscars, the pre- and post-event parties are where to see and be seen.

Samantha Ronson

For about two hours prior to the dinner, an extended guest list mingled in one of multiple reception rooms, each hosted (and decorated) by a different news outlet. At the Newsweek/Daily Beast‘s reception, blue-curtained walls; the Washington Post, red mood lighting; and at Thomson Reuters, a futuristic white- and orange-lit dance party featuring none other than celebrity DJ Samantha Ronson.

Mila Kunis

Overall, more than 2,000 reporters, journalists, news producers, and political and Hollywood heavy-weights attended. Confirmed celebrities to strut their stuff: Scarlett Johansson (dressed in stunning sea foam), Mila Kunis, and many more.
