Live on Twitter: 2012 Oscar Nominee Luncheon is Underway

If you feel like whiling away the afternoon following updates about a room full of wealthy entertainers and/or movie-industry craftspeople eating, the Academy's Twitter feed might be for you.

The 2012 Oscar nominee luncheon is underway, which will culminate in grand group-photo tradition and at least a half-dozen bouts of indigestion. Bon appetit to all!
