Yesterday, the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences hosted its annual Oscar nominees luncheon at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. It is both a very large and a very small group: small, because of all the people making movies, it’s a tiny percentage; large, because just look at them all!
So you can understand why an up-and-coming actor would choose to wear a name tag, even if it doesn’t really look that good with his suit. Important people are there. Producers. Directors. Writers. Movie stars. You want to make sure people remember your name. So this was a very wise move on your part, Brad [squints] Pert, is it?
In Mr. Pert’s defense, he’s got one of those faces. Look, Rian Johnson even somehow misidentified himself and circled Pert’s face instead.
