While the Oscars are often considered the most glamorous event in Hollywood, it appears that the culinary offerings at the ceremony left something to be desired this year. Following the star-studded Vanity Fair after-party on Sunday night, several high-profile celebrities were spotted departing with fast food in hand, proving that even the rich and famous get peckish after a night of celebration.
Celebrities Indulge in Late-Night Snacks
Hailey Bieber, the founder of Rhode Beauty, was seen enthusiastically waving a doughnut as she left the party hosted by Mark Guiducci at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Accompanied by her best friend Kendall Jenner, Hailey looked stunning in an embellished leopard print gown, but it was her casual snack that caught the attention of onlookers.
Supermodel Vittoria Ceretti, who attended the Oscars with her Oscar-nominated boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio, was photographed proudly holding a burger as she prepared to head home. Meanwhile, actress Julia Fox, known for her past relationship with Kanye West, was seen with a handful of canapes upon exiting the venue.
Other Notable Moments from the Night
Kim Kardashian, dressed in an embellished gold dress, flashed a 'V' sign as she departed, appearing to have enjoyed herself immensely. Nicole Kidman also made a splash outside the event, greeting fans in her gold dress with an open-mouthed expression of delight. Elle Fanning maintained her immaculate appearance in a strapless black dress, while Anya Taylor-Joy showcased her legs in a black leotard.
One Battle After Another Triumphs at the Oscars
The 98th Academy Awards, held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, culminated in a major victory for One Battle After Another, which won Best Picture. The film, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, tells the story of ex-revolutionaries reuniting to rescue a comrade's daughter as their enemy resurfaces after 16 years. It triumphed over a competitive field that included Bugonia, F1, Frankenstein, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, The Secret Agent, Sentimental Value, Sinners, and Train Dreams.
During his acceptance speech, Anderson, 55, humbly acknowledged his fellow nominees, stating, 'In 1975 the Oscar nominees for Best Picture were Dog Day Afternoon, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Jaws, Nashville and there is no best among them. It is just what the mood might be that day, but we're happy to be part of this, a wonderful, wonderful journey with our fellow nominees, our fellow filmmakers that even weren't recognized by The Academy.'
Michael B. Jordan's Emotional Best Actor Win
One of the most talked-about moments of the evening was Michael B. Jordan's upset victory for Best Actor. At 39, Jordan shocked the industry by beating favorite Timothée Chalamet for his role in Sinners, a film about two brothers returning to their hometown only to encounter vampires. The category also included Leonardo DiCaprio for One Battle After Another, Ethan Hawke for Blue Moon, and Wagner Moura for The Secret Agent.
Visibly emotional, Jordan was greeted on stage by last year's winner, Adrien Brody. In his acceptance speech, he tearfully thanked the audience, saying, 'Thank you everybody in this room and everybody at home for supporting me over my career. I feel it. I know you guys want me to do well, and I want to do that because you guys bet on me, so thank you for keeping betting on me. And I'm going to keep stepping up and I'm going to keep being the best version of myself I can be.'
Additional Awards and Highlights
Jessie Buckley, 36, won Best Actress for her performance in Hamnet, adding to the night's accolades. One Battle After Another led the pack with six wins overall, solidifying its status as the evening's top film. The event underscored the blend of high fashion and relatable moments, from celebrity fast food runs to heartfelt award speeches, making it a memorable Oscars ceremony.
