Oscar Nominees Luncheon Secret Star: No One Noticed Sean Ono Lennon, Nominated for Animated Short Film, “War is Over” (Exclusive)

Share

EXCLUSIVE  Sean Ono Lennon was a guest yesterday at the Oscars Nominees Luncheon.

No one seems to have noticed the musician filmmaker son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. But he was pretty excited about it. He posted a tweet at 7am yesterday, all dressed and ready to go.

“War Is Over!” is directed by Dave Mullins, and written with Sean. It’s a nod to his parents’ music, famous bed-ins during the Vietnam war, and to their hit song “Happy Xmas (War is Over).”

It doesn’t seem like Sean joined the fray for the big nominees class photo — or that he even told people he was there. He’s very self-effacing and humble. But congrats! And let’s hope he and Mullins surprise everyone and win!

But how ironic that all these A-listers were in the room and didn’t realize the Beatles progeny was among them. Not even a picture in the trades!
