Tim Gray on the nominees luncheon
I missed this over the weekend, but it looks like our own Tim Gray had a nice little write-up on Saturday's nominees luncheon, which was posted at Anne Thompson's blog. Here's a look:

If there were any lingering doubts about the Oscarcast, AMPAS president Sid Ganis put them to rest on Feb. 4 by announcing, in a calm voice, "There's no doubt about it, we are going to do it."�
The remark was met with enthusiastic applause at the 27th annual nominees luncheon Feb. 4 at the Beverly Hilton.
As always, the unwritten rule is to not make Oscar predictions at this event, which is in the "everybody here is a winner" spirit. The added unwritten law this year: Just assume the show will go on as usual, and don't even THINK otherwise.
"This is a day to bask in your nominee-ness,"� Ganis told the 115 Academy Awards contenders, "and when we present the awards..."� Ganis used that "when" very casually, with no hint of "if."
The rest.
