The Oscars have just finished and I'm stationed on the red carpet of the Vanity Fair party, the most famed afterparty in Hollywood. I'm toward the end of a row of reporters, deep in conversation with Yvette Nicole Brown about her desire to take a nap. Next thing I know, Queen Latifah suddenly appears and video bombs our interview, prompting my proclamation of love for her 2002 movie musical Chicago. The Vanity Fair Oscar party is in full swing and stars from film, television, and music have gathered to celebrate Hollywood's biggest night.
After one of the most feel-good ceremonies in years, that mood was certainly carried to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) where stars sauntered down the pale blue-gray carpet at Sunday evening’s post-Oscars soiree. The venue may have changed — last year’s party was held at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills — but as the aroma of In-N-Out wafted through the air while a reporter was scolded for breaking the media guidelines, the location didn’t seem to matter much; the vibe was just right.
