There’s one in every class photo, isn’t there? In the photo taken at yesterday’s prestigious Oscar luncheon for the 2012 nominees at the Beverly Hilton Hotel you can spot Best Original Song nominee, legendary musician Sergio Mendes (“Real in Rio” from Rio) in the fourth row on the left giving bunny ears to fellow nominee, Best Animated Short Film nominee Brandon Oldenburg (The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore) who obliged him with a funny face.  (Sorry Armie Hammer, this might be the photo-bomb to end them all.)

Of course, there’s plenty more to marvel at at this virtual Where’s Waldo? of Hollywood. (Except in this case, everyone is Waldo and Waldo is very, very beautiful and rich.) The top row has some heavy-hitting power clusters, including Brad Pitt, Meryl Streep and Rooney Mara, as well as Michelle Williams next to Aaron Sorkin and Steven Spielberg with Martin Scorsese on the far right. (Now that would have made for a memorable bunny ears pose.)

Upon further inspection you’ll also find Jean Dujardin sandwiched between Glenn Close and his Best Actor competition George Clooney; funny guys and first-time nominees Jonah Hill and Bret McKenzie standing next to one another;  and Community fans — rejoice! — there’s even a Dean Pelton Easter egg thanks to Jim Rash earning a nod for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Descendants. (Rash sort of looks like a little bit like the Oscar statuette, no?)

Check out a larger version of the photo here and see if you can spot other 2012 nominees like Viola Davis, Melissa McCarthy, Max Von Sydow, Bérénice Bejo, Octavia Spencer, Nick Nolte, Janet McTeer, and Annie Mumolo.

Gleeks already know that Chris Colfer can take us to magical places with his voice, and now he’s using words and pictures to create a fantasy world in his upcoming children’s bookThe Land of Stories, illustrated by Brandon Dorman. Kurt fans who’ve been anxiously awaiting the book, originally slated for an Aug. 7 release, won’t have to wait as long as they’d thought. A rep for Little Brown said, “Chris’s writing talents, his efficiency with deadlines, and the eagerness from his fans has all combined to allow us to move the date up to July 17th!”

Described as a “modern-day fairy tale,” the book will focus on twins Alex and Conner, who leave the real world behind and find themselves in a land where they come face-to-face with the fairy-tale characters — witches, goblins, trolls — they’ve always read about. Colfer says the book’s illustrator “made every detail come to life. He went above and beyond the crayon and colored pencil drawings I used to make of it as a kid.” Check out the very first peek at the cover of The Land of Stories below!
