The night out comes during an exciting week for Justin. Earlier he revealed the cover for The 20/20 Experience, his new album due out March 19.

Last night in LA, The Hollywood Reporter hosted an award season bash for a handful of Oscar nominated actors at the restaurant Spago. Following the afternoon's Academy Awards nominees luncheon, Amy Adams, Naomi Watts, Jennifer Lawrence, and Jessica Chastain reunited for THR's nighttime event. The ladies all went for differing looks. Naomi was beachy and casual in an A.L.C. blazer and top, while Jennifer wore an embellished dress from Valentino. Jessica, who fit in a stop by The Tonight Show yesterday, wore Givenchy. It wasn't all about the ladies, though — Steven Spielberg and Ben Affleck also stepped out for the party. Plus, Snoop played DJ for the soiree!
Jennifer reflected about the honor of an Oscar nomination on the red carpet. Speaking about her fellow nominees in the category of best actress, Jennifer said it was an honor to be on the same list. She said, "It's an unbelievable feeling to just look around at people who have been your heroes forever and to just be in the same room as them. The women that I'm nominated with really just make it so much more special just to think that I could be even in the same sentence as them."
