Close-Ups from the Oscar Nominees Luncheon Photo

Every year at the Oscar Nominees Luncheon, they take a big class photo. I zoomed in on areas this year that required further analysis. Or in the case of a certain Best Actress nominee, just a close-up.

Julian Schnabel and Javier Bardem are still good friends apparently. And why not? Schnabel helped Bardem get his first nomination in Before Night Falls.


Two words: Marion Cotillard.

I honestly think it's adorable how they put the youngest nominee (Ellen Page) next to the oldest nominee (Hal Holbrook). EDIT: OK, I guess Saiorse Ronan is the youngest nominee, but she wasn't there. So...next youngest.

I've always loved Sarah Polley as an actress (even in Dawn of the Dead....hell, especially in Dawn of the Dead) so I'm surprised her first nomination comes for writing (the screenplay for Away from Her starring Julie Christie.)

The guys from Funny Games were nominated?

It's weird seeing only one Coen brother at a time. It's like when you have Siamese twin friends and then you run into just one of them buying milk at the store and it just, you know, looks wrong.

I love that the couple from Once are now a real life couple. Just look at 'em. How can they not be together?

Wait. They're a couple?! That makes me a lot happier than it should.

Yes, they're a couple, but he's 37 and she just turned 20. Isn't there something a little wrong with that?
