Four years ago, the Academy canceled its annual Oscar Nominees Luncheon because of the COVID pandemic. We always loved the event that mixed up nominees from all the categories for an afternoon of schmoozing, eating and toasting, so we invited them all to send us photos of themselves raising a glass or having a bite. And now that the luncheon has been canceled again, this time because of the L.A. wildfires, we’ve brought back our virtual version on the same day the in-person event was originally scheduled to take place.
Here’s Oscar’s Class of 2025, spread out around the world until March 2 — but together in spirit.
