Of course, the Oscars Nominee Luncheon is also a chance to catch up with fellow nominees and hear from important speakers in the filmmaking community. Academy President John Bailey spoke at the event, paying tribute to the largest group of female nominees in Oscar history. “In front of and behind the camera, inclusion, diversity, racial, ethnic, and gender equality are not just buzzwords," he emphasized.
