Wed Mar 05 09:00:00 UTC 2025: **Oscar Night 2025: “Anora” Dominates, Vanity Fair Party Sizzles**

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — The 2025 Academy Awards concluded with a flurry of celebrations, culminating in a star-studded Vanity Fair after-party. “Anora” swept the Oscars, winning Best Picture, Best Director (Sean Baker), Best Original Screenplay, Best Film Editing, and Best Actress (Mikey Madison). Baker, visibly moved, shared his joy at receiving his award from Quentin Tarantino at the Vanity Fair event. Alex Coco also accepted the Best Picture award for “Anora.”

Other notable winners included Adrien Brody (Best Actor for “The Brutalist”), Zoe Saldana (Best Supporting Actress for “Emilia Perez”), and Kieran Culkin (Best Supporting Actor for “A Real Pain”). “Emilia Perez” also took home the Best Original Song award for “El Mal.” The documentary “No Other Land” won Best Documentary Feature.

The Governors Ball, the immediate post-Oscars celebration, saw winners like Saldana proudly displaying their freshly engraved Oscars. The “Anora” team celebrated their multiple wins, while Brody joined the festivities.

The Vanity Fair Oscar Party, a highly coveted event, hosted by Radhika Jones, transformed from an intimate dinner into a vibrant celebration. Celebrities including Timothée Chalamet (who graciously attended despite losing Best Actor), Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, and Mick Jagger mingled with winners and nominees. Chalamet playfully discussed his upcoming role in “Marty Supreme,” while Conan O’Brien received positive feedback on his Oscar hosting performance.

Elton John’s AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party also provided a memorable night, featuring a lively performance by Chappell Roan and duets with Elton John himself.

The party scene continued late into the night, with celebrities enjoying In-N-Out Burger and celebrating a successful (or gracefully accepted unsuccessful) awards season. The Vanity Fair party, with its 1970s theme, proved to be the ultimate culmination of the night’s festivities.
