Motion picture academy president Janet Yang told a room full of Oscar nominees that the organization's response to Will Smith's onstage slap of Chris Rock during last year's ceremony was inadequate
for the ballroom full of award hopefuls to know what she was talking about when she aired her regrets.
“We learned from this that the academy must be fully transparent and accountable in our actions,” Yang said,"and particularly in times of crisis you must act swiftly, compassionately and decisively for ourselves and for our industry. You should and can expect no less form us going forward.” The luncheon is a warm, feel-good affair where nominees are in general treated with equality, and a relative unknown up for best animated short might be seated next to an A-lister up for best actor.
He and Jamie Lee Curtis, up for best supporting actress for “Everything Everywhere All at Once," pressed their foreheads together and giggled when they bumped into each other. The centerpiece of the luncheon is the class picture, the staging of which feels like a high school graduation. An academy governor read off the names of 182 nominees and their peers cheered as they walked up and took their spots on the risers.
