This afternoon was the pre-Oscars luncheon for the Oscar nominees and even though it was star-studded, only 11 of the 19 nominees for acting made it to the event. Johnny Depp,Tommy Lee Jones, Cate Blanchett and Daniel-Day Lewis weren’t able to attend, as were Tom Wilkinson, Saoirse Ronan, Tilda Swinton and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I’m sure the other nominees were thinking as I would have been, “Ha! Losers! More food for the rest of us!” Or maybe they’re classier than I am.
Prom King, George Clooney, showed up, looking unsurprisingly appropriate. Young Ellen Page from “Juno,” was more likely than not going out of her mind with excitement at her first nomination. I can’t believe she’s only twenty. She makes me feel like I’ve done absolutely nothing with my life up until this point–which I have, actually. I don’t need Ellen to remind me of that.
Javier Bardem looks rugged and fantastic as usual. Honestly, with him there, does it matter that anyone else showed up? Well, in case you happen to have any interest in the other nominees that aren’t Javier, you can check out all of these lovely, delicious pictures of them.

why haven’t you posted the story about paris hilton being told to “get the FUCK off stage” by fifty cent, and bursting into tears?
I officially LOVE every single thing Marion Cotillard wears. What a GORGEOUS woman!!
Uh, to the previous poster: PLEASE DON’T ASK FOR MORE PARIS HILTON STORIES. What the FUCK is wrong with you?!?!?!?
If there is any justice in the world, Daniel Day Lewis will win Best Actor. He is by far the most talented actor around today. (and I’m not at all biased!).
WHAT has happend to Viggo Whaziname? Did he flush his good looks down the toilet? That other Spanish looking guy from No country for Old Men is looking quite handsome though. That’s a good movie. I was on the edge of my seat. I almost spilled my popcorn. Not quite though. I paid enough for it.
Run Josh! He’s outside the door!
Not all that hard to get classier than you or your cohorts here.
And it would be George the Prom QUEEN. There’s a reason he is not married and doesn’t keep a girlfriend for any length of time.
