Vanity Fair is moving its famed Oscar Party to a new backdrop this year: the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The magazine will host the post-Academy Awards celebration on Sunday, March 15, and stream arrivals and afterparty coverage beginning at 10:30 p.m. ET / 7:30 p.m. PT on vanityfair.com and youtube.com/vanityfair.
What’s happening
– The Vanity Fair Oscar Party returns for its 31st year, now staged on the LACMA grounds. Actors, filmmakers, designers and industry guests will pass through the museum’s courtyards and façades, offering fresh photographic backdrops and a different flow to the usual red‑carpet procession.
– Vanity Fair will livestream pre‑ and post‑arrival coverage, with hosts Quenlin Blackwell, Jake Shane and Brittany Broski guiding viewers through interviews, fashion commentary and candid moments as guests arrive and mingle.
How the broadcast will look and feel
– Expect a brisk, personality‑driven feed: short interviews, quick reactions and social‑ready clips rather than long, produced segments. The stream is designed to move from red‑carpet arrivals into afterparty scenes without interruption, giving remote viewers a continuous sense of the evening.
– The museum setting changes staging and lighting, creating new opportunities for striking images and impromptu moments. Photographers and producers will adapt camera positions to corridors, courtyards and outdoor installations, so the visual tone should feel more architectural and less like a traditional entertainment venue.
Why it matters
– Livestreaming the party widens access: fans and industry watchers get front‑row glimpses of looks, encounters and off‑guard exchanges that used to stay behind velvet ropes. The short, immediate format also fuels quick social sharing—soundbites and standout images will likely circulate within minutes.
– For designers and publicists, the shift to LACMA means rethinking arrival strategies to play off the museum’s backdrops. For viewers, it offers a new, slightly more informal window onto post‑ceremony life.
How to watch
– Tune in a few minutes early to avoid missing the start. Coverage begins on Sunday, March 15 at 10:30 p.m. ET / 7:30 p.m. PT on vanityfair.com and youtube.com/vanityfair. Enable notifications on the platform you choose if you want an alert when the stream goes live.
In short: Vanity Fair’s Oscar after‑party will be streamed live from LACMA, blending fashion, candid moments and the energy of the afterparty into a continuous online experience—one built for fast takes, shareable moments and a wider audience than ever before.
