Nominees for the 85th Academy Awards® pose for a group photo at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Oscar® Nominees Luncheon in Beverly Hills, California, on Monday, Feb. 4. Who are these people — the ones who aren't stars? And what is everyone up to in Hollywood's most prestigious group shot? We take a close look below.
1. There's always someone in every picture who gets caught with his eyes closed. The unfortunate man in this one is Lincoln screenwriter and playwriting god Tony Kushner. We are choosing to believe his eyes are clenched in a sudden spasm of creative inspiration.
2. Editor William Goldenberg is the rare Oscar nominee to appear twice in the same category in the same year: for Argo and Zero Dark Thirty (with Dylan Tichenor, not pictured here).
