Li Jun Li stunned on the red carpet in a swirled red gown.
The actress is part of a special musical performance segment honoring 'Sinners' at the Oscars.
"It's going to be amazing," she said. "It's so packed with amazing people that you might be over-stimulated. I'm over-stimulated, so I'm so excited. I saw some of my idols, and I short-circuited when I saw them."
Li played Grace Chow in the Oscar-nominated movie.
What do NASA satellites, sports trophies and the Oscar statue all have in common? They all get their golden shine in New York.
Inside the Epner Technology workshop in Brooklyn, New York City, the Oscar statue is dressed in gold.
Since 1929, it's been a symbol of the best in film, and for the better part of the last decade, Hollywood's highest honor has been made exclusively in New York.
"I believe this is our eleventh season of doing them," Paul Brancato of Epner Technology Inc. said.
Like the films they recognize, the golden figurines are a labor of love, one that spans two companies: UAP Productions in New York's Hudson Valley and Epner Technology in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Saja Boys may not be taking the Oscars stage to sing, but their devoted fans were thrilled to see them walk the red carpet in person.
Danny Chung, Neckwav, Andrew Choi, Kevin Woo and SamUIL Lee arrived in coordinated black satin suits, each with subtle personal flourishes that reflected their individual styles.
"It's been a tremendous year for us," one of them told Joelle Garguilo on the red carpet. "I can't believe we're here. We're living the dream."
The group's film, KPop Demon Hunters, is in the running for Best Animated Feature, and for fans hungry for more "Soda Pop," the wait won't be long. Netflix has confirmed that Huntr/X will be back for a KPop Demon Hunters sequel.
Legendary songwriter Diane Warren is nominated for her 17th Oscar this year for her song in the documentary about her life, 'Relentless.'
Despite all of those nominations, she has never won.
"I never give up hope. I'm relentless," Warren said on the red carpet. "I always feel like the underdog or undercat, because I'm a cat person."
ABC7 entertainment reporter George Pennacchio and Warren share a friendly tradition on the red carpet, which continued tonight. Pennacchio presented her with a special necklace that says 17.
