Kirsten DunstandJesse Plemonsare enjoying date night at the 94thAcademy Awards.
The couple, who are both nominated for their performances inThe Power of the Dog, gave their sonsEnnis Howard, 3½, andJames Robert, 10 months, a shout-out from the red carpet, as the kids rooted them on from Atlanta.
“They’re in Atlanta right now because that’s where I’m working, and they’re at a toddler Oscars party,” Dunst, 39, explained. “So, the girls next door invited them over, and so they’re all representing us there.”
Plemons, 33, pointed out his fiancée’s vintage Christian Lacroix strapless red sheer gown, adding: “They’re all wearing red, it’s close to this color, not quite.”

He complemented Dunst in a strapping black-on-black tuxedo as they celebrated theirdual Oscar nominationsin the Best Supporting Actor/Actress categories, both being first-time nominees.
“I was actually more, weirdly, excited for Jesse. I screamed,” Dunst recalled of hearing the nominations. “To be nominated together is the craziest thing. We just feel so lucky. We already won, you know?”
The proud parents appear together in writer/directorJane Campion’s Western dramaThe Power of the Dog, about a rancher (Benedict Cumberbatch) whose brother (Plemons) brings home a new wife (Dunst) and her son (Kodi Smit-McPhee), to whom Cumberbatch’s character finds himself drawn. The film leads this year’s nominations with 12 nods, including Best Picture.
