Renee Zellweger, Al Pacino and dozens of other Academy Award nominees bowed their heads in a moment of silence Monday for Kobe Bryant to open the annual Oscars luncheon, a sombre moment in an otherwise sunny annual affair that serves as a meet-and-greet, celebration and training session for each year's class of nominees.

Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President David Rubin asked the audience to honour the NBA star and 2018 Oscar winner, and his daughter, who were among nine people killed in a helicopter crash on Sunday.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Laura Dern, Robert De Niro and Quentin Tarantino were all set upon by groups of photographers as they walked into the luncheon being held just a few steps from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, home to the 92nd Academy Awards on Feb. 9. In another annual ritual, they were told to keep their acceptance speeches short at the Oscars, ideally 45 seconds or less, and were urged to appoint one person to speak for a group of winners.

As some started to eat, best actress nominee Cynthia Erivo and best supporting actor nominee Pitt posed for selfies with their fellow hopefuls. The move follows the Golden Globes and other events that have gone to entirely plant-based menus as part of some in the industry advocating for a more sustainable approach to Hollywood's lengthy awards season.
