Hollywood heartthrobs DiCaprio and Hemsworth set more than a few hearts aflutter in the room and politely posed with fans for photos. Meanwhile, Streep barely made it past the entrance due to the constant barrage of well-wishers—including her former co-star DiCaprio, whom the Iron Lady warmly embraced.
