She added long, bold silver earrings which matched her bracelets and rings.

The Batman star stopped to chat with Jeff Goldblum and his wife.

They were also seen with Brian Grazer from Imagine Entertainment as well as his date.

At the Oscars, Michael did not seem to walk the red carpet. When on stage he presented with Catherine O'Hara. 

Michael and Marni were first linked back in 2014, but little is known about their relationship. 

It appears that they live together in his Los Angeles house. 

They attended the 74th annual Emmy Awards in September 2022 and while they sat together inside the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles.

But the pair didn't walk the carpet together.

Michael has not spoken publicly about his partner, but during an interview with Shortlist in 2017 he gave some relationship advice.

He said: 'Being a gentleman with a woman is really… I guarantee you, even with women who like the bad boy thing, being a gentleman's very attractive.

'I'm not one to give out advice. Relationships are complicated. But if you're authentic and you seek out authenticity, things will work out.' 

Meanwhile, it was reported in February that Keaton wanted Beetlejuice 2 to 'feel handmade'.

The actor is reprising his role as the 'ghost with the most' in a highly anticipated sequel to the original 1988 horror comedy, with O'Hara and Winona Ryder also back, and he has revealed how he and returning director Tim Burton want the new movie to look.

He told People magazine: 'The one thing that he and I decided on early, early, early on from the beginning, if we ever did it again, I was totally not interested in doing something where there was too much technology.

'It had to feel handmade...

'What made it fun was watching somebody in the corner actually holding something up for you, to watch everybody in the shrunken head room and say, 'Those are people under there, operating these things, trying to get it right.' '

Michael and Marni shared a kiss after his name was called for Leading Actor at the awards, but didn't walk the red carpet together 

He admitted getting to work in that was thrilling, particularly after the Hollywood trend of relying on green screen for many big budget blockbusters.

He added: 'It's the most exciting thing. When you get to do that again after years of standing in front of a giant screen, pretending somebody's across the way from you, this is just enormous fun.'

Keaton, who also previously worked with Burton on the likes of 'Batman' and 'Batman Returns', explained how he and the filmmaker want to make sure the sequel is done 'right'.

He said: 'We thought, 'You got to get this right. Otherwise, just don't do it. Let's just go on with our lives and do other things.'

'So I was hesitant and cautious, and he was probably equally as hesitant and cautious over all these years.

'Once we got there, I said, 'Okay, let's just go for it. Let's just see if we can do it, if we can pull this off,' '
