THE TRADITIONAL ACADEMY Awards Nominees luncheon took place yesterday in Tinseltown, with more than 160 contenders gathering to acknowledge their mutual greatness.

You’d think there would have been some interesting outfits.  Alas, there was not.  Aside from Quvenzhané Wallace, without whom the red carpet would be a very boring place this year.

Here are the highlights from yesterday’s event.
