The stars came out to shine on Sunday night (March 15) at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood for the 98th annual Academy Awards, where Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another won six Oscars, including best picture, best casting and best director.
Close behind was Ryan Coogler’s vampire drama Sinners, which netted star Michael B. Jordan his first best actor award over such heated rivals as Leonardo DiCaprio and Timothée Chalamet.
And while the Conan O’Brien-hosted show remarkably came in on-time, once the best picture statue was handed out, it was time to party at the various post-Oscars soirees around town.
As usual, one of the night’s biggest afterparties was the one hosted by Vanity Fair at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which drew Oscar-winner EJAE — one of the voices of KPop Demon Hunters fictional band HUNTR/X and a co-writer of Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 smash “Golden — as well as Brandi Carlile, Dua Lipa, Tate McRae, Shaboozey, Olivia Rodrigo, Diane Warren, Mick Jagger, Rita Ora, Ciara, Lizzo, Teyana Taylor, Karol G, Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra, Queen Latifah, Usher, Troye Sivan, Travis Scott and Gracie Abrams.
Another Oscar staple, Elton John’s AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party drew the likes of such young proteges as Lola Young, Yungblud and Dua Lipa, who arrived in a totally different outfit, naturally.
