Would you rather?

We haven't loooked at Instagram for a bit. So let's play our fantasies about celebrity bffs game which is just an elaborate excuse to share photos we liked recently. Would you rather...

• hang at the pool with Elliot Page?
• celebrate the anniversary of "Born this Way" with Lady Gaga?
• sit for a portrait with Kristin Scott Thomas?
• make like Tarzan under a waterfall with Tony Goldwyn?
• have a "salad" with Reese Witherspoon?
• get an honorary degree from Yale with Ava DuVernay?
• visit Monaco with Haz Osterfield and Tom Holland?
• relax at a resort with Kathryn Newton?
• bungee jump with Zac Efron and brother?
• celebrate pride with Jeremy Pope's cake?

Pictures are after the jump to help you decide. (If there's a gif, you can click on it to see the whole video)

Who will be first to an Oscar nomination from the "born in '97" crop?

Jharrel Jerome, Jacob Elordi, Kathryn Newton, Alex Wolff, Louis Hofman, Hero Fiennes Tintin, Alisha Boe, and Lana Condor were all born in '97

No actor born in '97 has been Oscar nominated yet so who will be the first?
