Oscars Class of 2015

Perhaps one of the most well-known American schools tradition is annual class group photo for the school yearbook; well, don't know if you all know about it, but I know because I have several yearbooks with me and my classmates photographs. So, yes I do enjoy the annual Oscar nominees tradition that starts with a brief press q+a, a luncheon and a group photograph known as the annual Nominees Class Photo or the Class of 2015.

Yesterday the Academy had the annual luncheon that kept one more year the traditions alive and below we have the infamous photography (in the highest resolution I was able to find, so you can zoom photo without getting too many pixels). Take a look to see if you can find people you know -probably actors and one or two directors (?)- but do not try to find Benedict Cumberbatch, Meryl Streep, Ethan Hawke, Keira Knightly, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu. Mark Ruffalo, and list could go on with more people I'm not really familiar with how they look. To better see who is there and/or better see who is not there, check the fabulous 360 degrees Panorama photo published in the LA Times here.



What follows is a copy and paste of what many probably got via Academy press release so let's hope is accurate; nevertheless is fun to see if you can find a mistake -if you have nothing to do and want to kill time-.

Besides the Class of 2015 photo, the most popular photography that was all over social media was the one with the five Best Actress nominees.  Seems that no one took more category nominees photos, as there was one or two nominees missing; so the Best Actress nominees photo was recorded for history.  Take a look.





So that's it, now let's hope that those that didn't make it to the luncheon make it to the awards show as is really awkward when they read their names and have to show a photo.
