One person who was noticeably absent from the luncheon was Jennifer Lawrence, who is up for Best Supporting Actress for her role in David O. Russell's film.
According to her American Hustle co-star Amy, Jennifer's absence was due to her being busy filming the next instalment of the hit Hunger Games film franchise.
Another star who failed to make an appearance at the luncheon was Julia Roberts, nominated for her role in August: Osage County, who gave the occasion a miss following the tragic death of her half-sister Nancy Motes.
