The grand hall was buzzing with excitement, filled to the brim with a boisterous crowd and melodious music. This wasn't the Oscar ceremony, yet it buzzed with more activity than the awards show itself. Vanity Fair had held its Oscar Night party for the third time, and the previous two installments had earned it a lot of good press. Given its solid relationships within the entertainment industry and a lower barrier to entry compared to the actual awards ceremony, the party sparkled with even more star power due to the attendance of numerous industry bigwigs.
