Sebastian Stan had the support of his girlfriend, Annabelle Wallis, as he celebrated his first nomination at the 2025 Oscars.
An eyewitness exclusively tells Us Weekly that Wallis, 40, kissed her man, sending him love and luck before leaving the Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles for the Academy Awards on Sunday, March 2. The Apprentice star walked the red carpet alone, posing for solo shots in a classic black tuxedo before doing interviews with his mom, Georgeta Orlovschi, by his side. Wallis could be seen standing behind the mother-son duo as he spoke with E! News.
“It’s surreal, it really is,” Stan told E! Live From the Red Carpet. “I’m just so happy to be here with her because you don’t really ever think this is going to happen, right? You watch it on TV … It’s been a long time coming. But I had to have her here with me.”
His mother added, “He works very hard so he deserves the best. I can’t be more proud. He’s adorable.”

Stan is nominated for Actor in a Leading Role for his portrayal of Donald Trump in the biopic The Apprentice, which follows the now-president during his career in New York City real estate in the ‘70s and ‘80s. Stan — who received his first-ever Academy Award nod this year — will compete against The Brutalist’s Adrien Brody, A Complete Unknown’s Timothée Chalamet, Sing Sing’s Colman Domingo and Conclave’s Ralph Fiennes in the category.
Stan has been on the awards season circuit for months, with Wallis by his side. The couple made their red carpet debut at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards in January, where Stan won Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for his portrayal of Edward Lemuel/Guy Moratz — an actor with neurofibromatosis who assumes a new identity after an experimental procedure to change his face — in A Different Man. He was also nominated for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for The Apprentice but lost the category to Brody, 51.
Stan and Wallis shared a rare public kiss after he won his first Golden Globe Award, and during his acceptance speech, he gave her a sweet shout-out, gushing, “Annabelle, I love you.”
Wallis once again joined Stan at the 2025 British Academy Film Awards in London in February. The pair wrapped their arms around each other as they posed for photos on the red carpet. Stan was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role for The Apprentice at the ceremony, but the accolade ultimately went to Brody.
