Just days before the final round of Oscar voting is set to begin, this year’s illustrious nominees gathered at the Beverly Hilton for the annual luncheon that serves as one of the final gatherings where everyone is a winner. Monday’s three-hour event, which featured cocktails, mingling and flashbulbs galore, brought more than 150 nominees together in a meet-and-greet with voters. Deadline.com’s report indicates Clint Eastwood, Oprah Winfrey (a nominee for producing “Selma”), Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, Bradley Cooper, J.K Simmons, Eddie Redmayne and Michael Keaton all earned hearty applause during the roll call that invites attendees to join the stage for the group picture. Mark Ruffalo, Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley, Meryl Streep and “Birdman” director Alejandro González Iñárritu were absent, but see if you can spot your favorite nominees (and host Neil Patrick Harris) in the class photo below:
