Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, whose snubs for best director and best actress, respectively, for 'Barbie' caused a major stir, both showed up for the nominations they did get, and were all smiles.

Margot Robbie, up for best picture as a 'Barbie' producer, beamed nearby as she chatted with other nominees. Gerwig and Robbie got some of the loudest cheers of the afternoon when their names were called during the class picture roll call that feels like a school commencement and is perhaps the day's most egalitarian tradition. The names are read and nominees called up to risers in an order that seems to make no accounting for fame. Image Credit: AFP

The luncheon dress code is daytime casual. For Gosling that meant a lilac suit with matching shirt, for Robbie a light pink beaded business suit with a bared midriff. Image Credit: Reuters

And, finally, the star of the show was Messi, the dog that played Snoop in 'Anatomy of a Fall.' The canine travelled all the way from France to be at the luncheon at Los Angles. It got special treatment from the likes of Gosling and Bradley Cooper. Image Credit: Instagram
