“I have a feeling I’ve been here before,” said Diane Warren as she came downstairs at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and looked around the pool area. That’s where a dozen or so media outlets were set up to do interviews and take photos at the annual Oscar Nominees Luncheon.

Of course, Warren had been here before, plenty of times — because if you’re a 15-time nominee, as the prolific songwriter is, you’ll get plenty of invitations to the Oscar Nominees Luncheon. It’s one of the most pleasant of all Oscar traditions.

The lunch came to Beverly Hills on Monday, settling into the Beverly Hilton Hotel ballroom that has been its home for all but two of its 40-some years.
