Brody is swarmed by photographers when he strides into the principle celebration house together with his companion, dressmaker Georgina Chapman, grinning on his arm and his Oscar statue in hand. The actor’s dad and mom, Sylvia Plachy and Elliot Brody, are a step behind.

Each few ft, “The Brutalist” star will get stopped by one A-lister after one other providing their congratulations: There’s Oscars host Conan O’Brien, who has been fielding kudos of his personal for a job nicely performed as first-time emcee. Subsequent, Brody says hi there to Queen Latifah, who carried out the tribute to Quincy Jones through the present. Then, Vin Diesel stops Brody for a handshake and, as Brody inches nearer to the bar on the heart of the room, Jon Hamm provides him a pat on the again. By the point, Jerry Bruckheimer wrapped up his congratulations and Diplo acquired round to testing out the trophy’s weight, I notice I’m sandwiched between two Oscar winners.

On the opposite facet of the glass window, Madison (who swapped her pink and black Dior Haute Couture robe from the ceremony for a black Dior ballgown) is fielding congratulations from the gaggle of Younger Hollywood expertise congregated on the out of doors patio. Jenna Ortega (Madison’s “Scream” co-star), Madelyn Cline, Hunter Schafer, Danny Ramirez, Reneé Rapp, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Rachel Zegler and Cara Delevingne gathered round Madison, who clutched her Oscar excitedly, ultimately shifting on about 20 minutes later to sit on the plush velvet sofa within the celebration’s sunken front room. (The venue was designed to have a retro-glam really feel, evoking a Sixties Hollywood celebration, drenched in marigold and peach hues.)

By this level, Brody is sitting too; Chapman stands to take an image of him and his dad and mom on the sofa throughout from Madison’s. It could be one other half hour till Madison’s “Anora” director Sean Baker arrives from the Neon celebration together with his entourage, together with his producing companion and spouse Samantha Quan, carrying so many trophies they have been tough to maintain monitor of. When the “Anora” crew, together with Yura Borisov and Mark Eydelshteyn, squeezed onto the sofa for a bunch picture, there have been almost sufficient trophies for everybody to carry one.

Whereas Madison and Brody have been two of probably the most sought-after sightings, they have been hardly the one stars engulfed by consideration on the bash.

When this Selection reporter arrived simply earlier than 11 p.m., the celebration, hosted by Vainness Truthful’s Radhika Jones, was in full swing, with greatest supporting actress winner Zoe Saldaña simply stepping out of a sprinter van along with her Oscar and household (dad and mom Asalia Nazario and Aridio Saldaña, and her husband Marco Perego Saldaña) in tow.

“I’m going to ask my boys the place they need to put the award, and so long as they don’t run round and chase one another with it, I believe we’re going to be effective,” Saldaña instructed Selection’s Marc Malkin on the gold and silver arrivals carpet.

Requested what she hopes younger girls see once they have a look at her — the third Latina to win that trophy, and the primary not enjoying Anita in “West Facet Story” — she replied: “That you are able to do something you need to do. You’ll be able to defy gravity.”

As soon as inside, Saldaña (in a black and pink celebration costume from Saint Laurent) caught up with the gravity-defying “Depraved” star Cynthia Erivo (carrying her second ornate, white Vivienne Westwood variety of the night time), who held court docket in the course of the lounge along with her mom Edith Erivo, Lena Waithe, Serena Williams and Debbie Allen. Then got here a slew of well-wishers gushing over Saldaña (and angling for a selfie along with her Oscar), so the “Emilia Pérez” star and her household didn’t make it far previous the doorway. As an alternative, they staked their declare on a banquette, the place they perched to snack on In-N-Out burgers and dance to the music.

Additional into the 5,000 sq. foot room, the crew from “A Full Unknown” huddled in a small alcove close to the bar, the place onlookers sipped on Don Julio 1942 cocktails and Kosta Brown wine, however actually hovered to catch a glimpse of Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, who’d skipped the purple carpet to fulfill up along with her beau contained in the celebration. Each swapped their formal put on from the ceremony to sexier seems to be for the after (for him, an unbuttoned black and white tuxedo, and for her, a lace, corseted Ashi Studio robe).

The celebrity couple celebrated Chalamet’s second Oscar nomination with a crew of household (his mom, Nicole Flender, and her equally well-known sisters Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner) and pals (together with his co-stars Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro). “Hey lady,” Fanning stated to Hailee Steinfeld (who sparkled in silver Tamara Ralph) earlier than they turned to pose for the home photographer.

The circulation of the night time was breezy, with a gentle circulation of incoming and outgoing stars. One instance, as Erivo left the bash round 11:30 P.M. (probably headed to Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s Gold Celebration?), “Sing Sing” standout Clarence Maclin made his manner in by the mirrored hallway that led from the arrivals carpet. Demi Moore and her daughters Tallulah, Rumer and Scout Willis additionally made a rapid out and in (in spite of everything, she had a trayful of french fries to get dwelling to). Final yr’s Oscar darling Da’Vine Pleasure Randolph arrived (gilded in gold Valdrin Sahiti) at almost 1 A.M.

How did we spot all these stars you ask? In case you’re wanting to determine who’s who on the packed celebration, comply with the flashbulbs. Living proof: when Camilla Cabello giddily greeted Olivia Rodrigo, who was sitting on a cushion within the heart of the room, a photographer instantly appeared to snap a photograph. Sitting instantly behind the pop princesses beneath the glow of an enormous five-foot disco ball was “Star Wars” legend Mark Hamill, tapping away on his cellular phone.

The interplay (or lack thereof) lasts just for a beat earlier than Cabello and Rodrigo rush off to speak with British singer Raye, who was enjoying playing cards on the sofa along with her sister Abby Eager and nonetheless buzzing from the push of performing “Skyfall” through the James Bond phase on the present. Raye’s tribute companions Lisa and Doja Cat have been additionally there — the latter of whom hit the dance ground along with her boyfriend Joseph Quinn.

Membership VF, because the discotheque room was branded, was Lil Nas X’s area. The hitmaker clocked probably the most hours of anybody, twirling and twerking (with a champagne glass in hand) to each track on the DJ’s set record from ABBA and Gloria Estefan to Kendrick Lamar. At one level, he stepped exterior for a breather (and one other glass of champagne) the place he gave Halle Bailey a fast hi there.

Lupita Nyong’o, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, “Depraved” Oscar winner Paul Tazewell and fellow costumer Ruth E. Carter (who Tazewell gave a shoutout to after his historic victory) additionally acquired down on the dance ground. In truth, throughout one spherical of “Spot the Little Gold Males,” this Selection reporter counted a half dozen Oscar trophies swaying to the beat.
