It's Oscar season all over again and the Academy Award Hollywood star power is preparing for the annual Oscars ceremony on March 7, which means Academy Award winning Oscar stars past and present were out in full force to attend the annual Oscar Nominees Luncheon on Monday. Given the changes in the Oscar format and the powerful nominees, the 2010 Oscar Nominees Luncheon was a star studded affair of Oscar calibre elite.

This year's crop of attendees at the Oscar Luncheon included such old and new Oscar heavyweights as director James Cameron, Quentin Tarantino, Kathryn Bigelow, Jason Reitman, Meryl Streep, Morgan Freeman, Jeff Bridges, George Clooney, Sandra Bullock, Lee Daniels, Jeremy Renner, Anna Kendrick, and more. On March 7 all eyes will be on the Kodak Theater in Hollywood, California for the 82nd Academy Awards celebration, as Oscar viewers at home and the entertainment industry speculate on which celebrities and which films will take home the golden Oscar statues.
