Watch the 2010 Oscars Nominees Do Lunch

Sandra Bullock, Jeff Bridges, Meryl Streep, Gabourey Sidibe and the rest of the 82nd Academy Awards Nominees do lunch together at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills on Monday for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Oscar Nominees Luncheon.

As more than 120 nominees for Hollywood's most- coveted prize gathered at the Beverly Hilton on Monday, even the first-time potential Oscar winners seemed to be at ease and enjoying the ride. There was little focus on the glamour of the upcoming awards, perhaps because of the recessionary times which serve as backdrop. Even these stars are thinking about their next job. While others hoped their nomination would help spur financing for new projects.

The Oscars Surprises

Every year, there are newbies and all-time favorites who are included in the nominations list in Academy Awards. Last year, Slumdog Millionaire was the surprise big winner to almost anyone, and this year there also some snubs and surprises.

The lead-acting categories looked exactly as everyone expected them to (Bridges, Clooney Firth, Freeman, and Renner; Bullock, Mirren, Mulligan, Sidibe, and Streep), so the snubs of long-shot hopefuls Nine's Daniel Day-Lewis, A Serious Man's Michael Stuhlbarg, Brothers' Tobey Maguire, The Road's Viggo Mortensen, and The Informant!'s Matt Damon for Best Actor, and Bright Star's Abbie Cornish, The Young Victoria's Emily Blunt, and The Lovely Bones' Saoirse Ronan for Best Actress had been pretty much anticipated for months.

There's some slight drama in the supporting categories, though: Matt Damon's Best Supporting Actor nomination for Invictus came at the expense of either Me and Orson Welles's Christian McKay, An Education's Alfred Molina, or The Hurt Locker's Anthony Mackie . For Best Supporting Actress, Crazy Heart's Maggie Gyllenhaal was the surprise, taking the spot that most figured would go to A Single Man's Julianne Moore (and some speculated might go to Nine's Marion Cotillard, The Messenger's Samantha Morton, or Inglourious Basterds' Melanie Laurent or Diane Kruger). None of this really matters, though, since those supporting Oscars will definitely go to Basterds' Christoph Waltz and Precious' Mo'Nique.
