Oscars nominees walk the traditional luncheon red carpet

The casts of "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer gathered Monday for the annual Academy Award nominees luncheon along with other Oscar hopefuls coming together for photos, hugs and congratulations.

The centerpiece of the event in Beverly Hills of California is a class photo of the entire group of nominees. Nearly all of them usually attend, both as part of the Oscars experience and as part of their unspoken campaigns for votes.

The event is also a chance for the leadership of the Academy, including President Janet Yang to give speeches and address their prominent members in person.
