Vanity Fair Oscar Party: Tarantino Quizzes Jane Fonda, Who Meets Paul Haggis

Share

Vanity Fair’s annual splashy Oscar party got the cold shoulders last night: they had to tent in the backyard of the Sunset Towers Hotel and even that didn’t completely help keep out the frigid night. One young starlet said, “Why is it so coldĀ in here?” and then spotted the huge open space between the two party rooms. She answered her own question: “Because we’re basically outside.” But still the stars and the hot kids came, from all the Oscar winners and nominees (only one missing: Christian Bale, who wasn’t seen again after the show) to famous artists, comedians, and media types. On the official guest list, clues were delivered like messages from a pyramid wall. For example, Anderson Cooper’s companion for the evening was someone namedĀ Benjamin Masiani. The whole guest list will follow this story but I will stick to just the people here I saw and talked to like Josh Brolin, who is the wisest and funniest man of his generation in Hollywood. “Mad Men” creator Matthew Weiner and his wife toured the party with Aimee Mann and husband Michael Penn. Jane Fonda and Richard Perry — Jane after two performances of her play “33 Variations”– made the rounds.Jane met director Paul Haggis, and they hit it off immediately. Then Jane came across Quentin Tarantino and they had a disagreement about a film she was sure she was in. It was “Period of Adjustment” with Tony Franciosa and Jim Hutton. “It was the only comedy Tennessee Williams ever wrote,” Jane said. Quentin got mad at me for using the IMDB. Quentin’s pal, Eli Roth, told me he’d just that minute arrived home from three months in China shooting a martial arts movie with Russell Crowe. Richard Perry, by the way, just returned from New York where the Floyd Mutrux musical he’s been supervising for the last couple of years, “Baby It’s You,” opens at the end of April and looks like a hit. Peter Fonda was there, too, with girlfriend, Parky. What else? When I first stepped into the square tented area, it was choked full of people, mostly big stars. Larry David was in one corner, Sacha Baron Cohen was in another. I missed Madonna, but the photographers told me she came just for a photo op and left so she could set up her annual party for people who will never win Oscars. Liv Tyler, looking smashing, arrived with her dad, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith-no “American Idol” fame. Kerry Washington andĀ I talked about the upcoming Sidney Poitier tribute at Lincoln Center. And there were the stars of tomorrow, too: Anthony Mackie, Benjamin Walker, and the latter’s fiancee Mamie Gummer, the talented daughter of Meryl Streep. No one does it like Vanity Fair, particularly when they cater In N Out burgers. Very comforting on a cold night!
