This year’s “Nerd Prom” was no exception, producing a bevy of interesting moments.

Tea Leoni and Madeleine Albright –– The star of Madam Secretary meets her real life counterpart, former Secretary of State Albright.

 

Katie Couric and Justice Antonin Scalia — The Yahoo News Global Anchor sipped a drink while taking a moment with the SCOTUS judge.

 

 



Sophie Turner and Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tennessee
Game of Thrones royalty Turner, who plays Sansa Stark, smiles with ball cap wearing Cohen on the red carpet.

 

 



Donald Trump and Melania Trump
— The sometimes-politician Trump told ABC’s T.J. Holmes that “stranger things have happened,” when asked about him possibly hosting the White House Correspondents’ Dinner as POTUS in the future.
