Vanity Fair Oscar party canceled due to Writers Guild strike
February 6th, 2008 by Scott Marks
What would the Academy Awards be without the glitzy post game parties? A three-and-a-half hour snooze fest without the added incentive of a couple cocktails after the show.
Last night Vanity Fair decided to call off its annual Oscar gala. VF Daily issued the following press announcement:
“After much consideration, and in support of the writers and everyone else affected by this strike, we have decided that this is not the appropriate year to hold our annual Oscar party. We want to congratulate all of this year’s nominees and we look forward to hosting our 15th Oscar party next year. Inasmuch as Vanity Fair is a collection of writers, photographers and artists, we do feel ourselves in aligned solidarity with the writers, directors and actors in the film business.”
