Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences president Janet Yang celebrated the 186 nominated filmmakers at the 95th annual Oscars nominees luncheon on Monday, while also criticizing the group's handling of last year's Oscars controversy. Tom Cruise, Angela Bassett, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michelle Yeoh, Austin Butler, Steven Spielberg, Michelle Williams and Brendan Fraser were among the stars celebrating their nominations at the glitzy event held at the Beverly Hilton. The festivities were not a complete lovefest. Yang used her speech to highlight last year's "inadequate" response to the infamous Will Smith slap and promised to handle any future incidents more effectively.
