The team of protagonists and director of ‘Barbie’, Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling and Greta Gerwig, were the big stars of the event, which traditionally takes place a month before the gala

Director Greta Gerwig and the stars of her film Barbie, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, were the highlights of the Oscar Nominees Luncheon. Despite controversy about Gerwig and Robbie not being nominated for best director and actress respectively, they were well received by their peers. The event was held at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, where attendees congratulated Gerwig and took photos with her. Robbie, also a center of attention, announced she would have her first dress fitting for the ceremony on Monday. Other notable attendees were Spanish directors Pablo Berger and Juan Antonio Bayona. The winners of the 96th Oscars will be revealed on March 10th in a televised ceremony from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California.
