Over at Morton's Restaurant, editor Graydon Carter of “Vanity Fair” will host their 11th annual Oscar party. Considered one of the evening's hottest party stops, everyone wants to attend the Vanity Fair Oscar party. One famous tale has it that Carter was offered upwards of $300,000 for entree to the party, and cajoling for an invite is non-stop at Vanity Fair's offices the week prior to the party.
Ercole Moroni is the creative designer for McQueen's, the London florist, known worldwide for his wonderful compositions that have decorated Vanity Fair's post-Oscar parties. As the days count down until hours, then minutes, time is a fixation because work on the Morton's space doesn't begin until the Friday before the Sunday night party.
Sara Marks , the 43-year-old Brit who holds the "party producer" title, manages an 8-foot-long schedule that's posted on the war room wall at the Beverly Hills Hotel days prior to the event. "Every activity is allocated a certain number of minutes," says Basil Walter, the team's architect, who creates the look of the party each year. "It's a fascinating sight."
Probably the most exclusive party of all isn't a mega-budget event after-all,
and the one party you will never see

Dani Janssen in her Century City penthouse. Janssen, widow of " The Fugitive" David Janssen, has turned down requests from those who have heard about her Oscar night party. "I've had to whittle the guest list down," she told Fox News reporter. According to Dani, "You have to have an Oscar or been nominated for one to be invited to this party", and she doesn't invite anyone she doesn't know, according to the New York Times.
Most of her guests also attend the Vanity Fair party, the Governor's Ball, or their studio party. But they come go to Dani's to eat, and she personally cooks for 150 guests. Now that's a party. Page 1
