LOS ANGELES, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- Each year the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Scientists invites its Oscar nominees to a luncheon celebrating their achievements, before winners are announced at the actual ceremony.
This year, the 86th annual Academy Awards' nominees gathered at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Monday. More than 150 of them, including Amy Adams, Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett, Martin Scorsese and Bono, attended the event, even posing for an impressively large class photo (click here for a closer look).
