Oscar Nominees Class Photo 2012: George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Brad Pitt; But Can You Find Max Von Sydow? (PHOTO)

Oscar Nominees

First Posted: 02/ 6/2012 11:02 pm Updated: 02/ 6/2012 11:03 pm

Despite being on the shortlist for Best Supporting Actor seemingly all throughout awards season, some were still shocked that Max von Sydow earned a nomination in the category last month. Now, the actor could be poised to pull one of the biggest upsets of Oscar night -- at least if you believe the rousing ovation the screen veteran received at the Academy Awards luncheon in Beverly Hills on Monday afternoon.

"[V]on Sydow was the clear winner, drawing the afternoon's only standing ovation when he came to the stage very late in the lengthy, alphabetical roll call of 150 nominees," wrote TheWrap's Oscar guru Steve Pond. Before you start checking off the "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" star on your Oscar ballot, note that Christopher Plummer -- the presumed Best Supporting Actor frontrunner -- was absent from the nominee luncheon, and thus did not enjoy a massive standing ovation.

Still! Good day for Mr. Von Sydow. Why don't you celebrate by trying to find him in the Oscar nominees class photo, which you can see below? Here's a hint: he's in there! Good luck.

We have not decided whether to watch the Oscars. You have a lot of nerve hurting other people. In honor of Jeremy Brett we should all boycott the Oscars!

He's in the front row, on the right. Did you find Brad Pitt? He's standing next to Meryl Streep.

If you want a real challenge, try finding an African American in that crowd.

Done and Done! I was looking for my fav to win Viola Davis anyhow. Second Row, seventh in. She was so good in the Help! Although I see your point as I only counted four total and two of them were in the Help.

Yay! Clooney and Jean Dujardin. I'm rooting for Dujardin, though. I absolutely loved The Artist. What a fun escape of a movie that was.
12:15 PM on 02/07/2012
I'm pulling for Dujardin, too. He was amazing.

Dujardin, Davis and Spenser. The Supporting Actor can go to anyone as I haven't seen any of their performances.

Is this like "where's Waldo"?
12:34 AM on 02/07/2012
It must be because just like Where's Waldo, I can't find him in the picture.
