At the 100th annual White House Correspondents Association dinner, emceed this year by Joel McHale, expect to see the usual oddball mix of celebrities seated with politicians seated with media folk, who host tables in a massive ballroom under the Washington Hilton.
To the uninitiated, watching the A-listers make their way to their seats seems a bit like Harry Potter's Hogwarts "sorting hat" is at work sending each boldface name to the right place. Where's Anna Kendrick headed? She'll be at the Huffington Post's table, where she can chat up Health and Human Services secretary Sylvia Burwell, and Questlove of the Roots, among others.
The USA Today table will have an eclectic mix of celebs, including Jessica Simpson and fiancé Eric Johnson, Rosario Dawson, Freida Pinto, Jeff Goldblum and Orange Is the New Black actresses Taylor Schilling and Uzo Aduba.
No surprise that The Good Wife star Julianna Margulies will be at CBS's table. There she'll find Her director Spike Jonze, singer Gloria Estefan, and New York City Police Commissioner William Bratton in the mix.
How about Lupita Nyong'o? She'll make her way to Time and Fortune magazines' tables, where she might sit next to Gravity director Alfonso Cuarón or Uber car service CEO Travis Kalanick.
We might be biased, but we believe the tables to be at are those that include PEOPLE's guests: actors Joe Manganiello and Scott Foley, Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn, and New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.
