Can’t tell who looks more bored/pissed off – Affleck or DeNiro?
De Niro is more pissed. Affleck is giving more a ‘fuck you’ look.
Washington!
Looks like a lot of rich white liberal people.
Blinded by the WHITE(S)…
Claudio Miranda’s hair is fucking awesome.
Most white people. Very, very little color. THIS IS HOLLYWOOD.
I’ve worked with many of these white people. They’d make lousy busboys and gardeners.
@Ace, you do realize there are people of color, who have never done a single day of labor in their entire life. Generations of families, raised as elite and educated, as the Royals. You do realize how many people of color, are born upper to middle class, American. It’s not possible you’ve lived to adulthood with no awareness to foreign/domestic, culture/wealth, outside the stereotypes you’ve been sold by media. Even if you were born in a town where the only people of color, you ever saw, were “busboys and gardeners” surely you’ve traveled, or read a book or two, or studied art history…Alarmingly myopic.
Equality in Hollywood right before our eyes. If this doesn’t tell you what it’s like being anything but white in this town, I don’t know what does. Maybe the fact that Kerry Washington is the first black woman to be on network television since ‘Claudine’….terrible.
No Daniel Day Lewis…I wonder who else didn’t show.
Which has always had me wondering…What is it about this luncheon that gets all of these people into the same room? Is it a prestige thing, or is it a major campaign stop on the Oscar circuit? A lot of these folks are working on other films, so I’m always surprised when this photo is released each year…most of the nominees make it.
Quvenzhane Wallis is the most poised person there. Definitely a keeper.
White, white, white… So incredibly unrepresentative of the world in which we live. Truly sad.
I don’t see John Williams
So white….
all about color with people like you
#winning and always a classic moment in our industry
i love the racist on this site…if you look at the photo and see color you are a racist. they are the best of the best. period. or do you believe we should give extra points cause of the color of your skin. get over yourself. if you are a person of color go do something great, or what you just sit around all day and bitch. i am sick of you.
Oh pious one, teach us more of your ways.
no quentin?
Who will win Oscars 2013 ? I think Life of Pi will get best picture awards. I am very eager to know who will be Oscars 2013 Winners
I am eagerly waiting to see Oscars final event on 24th February, 2013. I am big fan of Danny Boyle.
