So I’m smoking a joint with Seth Rogen and Danny McBride. This might sound like the setup to a joke, and it would probably be a good one, but this is what the Oscar party was like. At least for me.
Over the years, whenever I told anyone I worked at Vanity Fair, 9 times out of 10, their first question was, “Have you ever been to the Oscar party?” The Oscar party grew to be so successful, so monolithic, that it became as big as the magazine itself. I only missed one between 1995 and 2017, in 2005. (In 2008, it was canceled due to the writers’ strike.)
