Since 2016, the Rolex Greenroom has played host to luminaries of the silver screen. Take a peek inside this year's polar exploration-themed sanctuary of calm.

Backstage at the Oscars is hallowed ground—a buzzing hub of A-list adrenaline and activity on the biggest live-telecast night of awards season every year. At the centre of it all is the Greenroom—a sanctuary where luminaries of the silver screen gather before gracing the Dolby Theatre main stage to present Hollywood's highest honours to the night's biggest winners. Since 2016, the Greenroom has been designed hosted by Rolex.

This year, the Rolex Greenroom is themed and inspired by polar exploration. "The design of this year's Greenroom is a reminder of the beauty and fragility of the environment that Rolex is seeking to protect through our support of pioneering individuals and organisations finding solutions to safeguard the planet for future generations," says Rolex Director of Communication and Image Arnaud Boetsch.
