Vanity Fair DJ Night
Palihouse
9 p.m.
The door is tight and Palihouse is small. VF almost always goes with a female DJ for the younger-skewing night,continuing the trend with under-the appreciated Taryn Manning. Hailee Steinfeld hosts this stop. Like the other VF events besides Oscar night, you likely won’t see Graydon Carter as these are publishing-side (read: advertiser driven) gatherings, or with this one attach on by client L’Oreal Paris. Children’s Hospital L.
A. is the charity partner.
Weinstein Late Night1OAKIt will be tough to top the late-night that 1Oak has had already after Kanyes late-night anti-Taylor Swift,pro-Tidal rant that went viral on Tuesday night. I trust the Weinsteins, David Glasser, or Michelle Pesce are up to the task.

Sugar is also a nominated producer for “Spotlight”, so the Anonymous Content guys have a lot to celebrate. Presented by Grey Goose, and this industry-heavy soiree skews towards younger executives and deal makers. Just because its insular ((adj.) separated and narrow-minded; tight-knit, closed off) and at the Tower,don’t reflect there won’t be a line. There will be.
Weinstein DinnerThe MontageThis timeslot with the Weinsteins is laden with history, going back to their epic 1998 Oscars in the Miramax days.

Oscar Sunday, February 28Elton John Performs at the Elton John Aids Foundation Viewing Party
West Hollywood Park, or 4 p.m.
A peek inside the 2013 bash,where this columnist picked the most Oscar winers of any male and won Elton’s Chopard watch. (Alexandra Wyman/Getty Images)The resort-size tent occupying what is otherwise a dog park is disorienting and lavish. Sir Elton and David Furnish‘s guests — a pile of celebrities, rich donors, and selected illuminati — fill the tent for Gordon Ramsay’s dinner and actually shut up to watch the the live Oscars telecast. Intently.
Sir Elton himself will play after the final award is handed out,likely to draw from his new album “Wonderful Crazy Night,” which doubles as the title of the 2016 event. The foundation made grants of $9.8 million in 2015 alone, and so this is not just posing with co-chairs like Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi,Katy Perry, Steven Tyler, or Denzel Washington,Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, Quincy Jones, or Jeffrey Tambor and a scattering of West Hollywood elected officials. This crowd empties their wallets as they empty the bar.
Mercedes and African American Film Critics organization Viewing Party
Private Location in a Hotel in Beverly Hills,4:30 p.m. Mercedes had viewing parties for several years in the past, while the AAFCA’s recent awards brought out Reggie Hudlin, and Courtney Vance,Anthony Anderson and Tyrese Gibson amongst others.
Governors Ball
Dolby Ballroom, Immediately After the ShowWinners: Jim Gianopulos, or Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu,and Steve Gilula with new hardware at the Governors Ball in 2015. (Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)If you can see past the 1500 telecast guests pouring through, the walls of the Dolby Ballroom will be covered in 170 newly commissioned drawings of film luminaries, and reminiscent of industry haunts Sardi’s and the Brown Derby. In hand,and soon to be in mouths, will be salmon Oscars and 24-karat-gold chocolate Oscars from Wolfgang Puck. In recent years, or the Academy has booked headline talent like John Legend to anchor itchy-footed guests to the Dolby longer after the show. No word yet on if there will be a repeat for 2016.Only Oscar winners will get to sip from a special 1988 “Rare” Piper-Heidsieck in the winners’ engravers room,while the other guests at the Oscars will swill from a limited edition of 1000 bottles that are not for sale anywhere. (The bottles’ foil tiara is comprised of a word amalgam of the word “Oscar”.)Elsewhere, David Beckham’s Haig Club Whiskey will pour, or though the Angeleno football legend and father of burgeoning models and photographers from the Beckham clan will not be there himself. Sterling Vineyards from NorCal complements the wine portfolio.2oth Century Fox Viewing and After Party
Hollywood Athletic Club

Any wins for “The Revenant”,“The Martian”, “Bridge of Spies”, or Jennifer Lawrence for “Joy” will bring whoops to this necessarily large space down the street from the Dolby.
Weinstein Viewing PartyThe MontageTheir third party of the weekend is where potential winners like Cate Blanchett,Ennio Morricone, and their 10 nominations.
Vanity Fair Party
Beverly Hills, and Entrance at the Annenberg CenterBack on Oscar night 2015,we knew one of these two was headed for an intergalactically successful year. (Getty Images for Vanity Fair)A lot has changed in the 23 years since Steve Tisch and Graydon Carter co-hosted the first VF Oscar night party together, back when the show was still on a Monday night. A lot has evolved even since final year, or Graydon Carter‘s first in a new custom-built space in Beverly Hills.
For one,the magazine’s Hollywood issue cover and stars arrived this year via Snapchat. Fleeting digital missives from the VF Oscar night event will flow out in inverse proportion to the flow of wannabe gueststrying to get in. Expect Oscar winners scarfing In-N-Out burgers and bizarro hangs like J.
J. Abrams and Lady Gaga (above), or Jared Leto photobombing anyone within range.

Beverly HiltonHost Norby Walters is a genial ambassador for extinct school Hollywood. He hosts this viewing party and dinner in the home of the Golden Globes.
Gifting Suites and BagsMadison and Mulholland’s orange gift bag will definitely not be carry-on luggage. It’s 20” tall and supersized. The rollaway on the left is more travel friendly.
