Hollywood's elite gathered for a sumptuous lunch of poached pear gorgonzola, marinated chicken breast and apple tarts as The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences celebrated this year's Oscar nominees. Before you start thinking this is an opportunity for George Clooney to play a prank like giving Quentin Tarantino a wet willie, or Sandra Bullock decides to declare a throwdown on Meryl Streep, reverse that train of thought.
It's an annual tradition full of nominees praising each other, bonding, and getting their photos snapped, while declaring they have no idea what they will wear on the big night. It's awesome,all of the cool kids were there and I am very jealous.
While also serving as a press conference to promote the Oscar show, it is one of the only times most of the nominees are in one place, so special photos are taken. Check out this cool photo of all the nominees in attendance.
