Ansel Elgort and Jack O’Connell step out for the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences’ 2014 Academy Nicholl Fellowships In Screenwriting Awards & Live Read held at Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences on Thursday night (November 13) in Los Angeles.

The two actors were joined by Clancy Brown and Tessa Thompson for the event, which aims at promoting emerging voices and helping new artists break into the industry and launch their careers as screenwriters.

As they read a scene from Melissa Iqbal‘s science fiction love story “The Death Engine,” Ansel and Tessa were seen bantering back and forth throughout the scene as he lent his voice to a character who is interrupted while taking a bath.
