\n\tVanity Fair<\/a>\u2019s A-list Oscar party is exiting the 90210.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe magazine announced today that it\u2019s moving its Oscar night dinner and afterparty to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art after being headquartered for years in a custom space adjacent to the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills, Calif. There\u2019s more to the news than a new location: the Vanity Fair Oscar party on March 15, 2026, will take place inside LACMA<\/a>\u2019s David Geffen Galleries. The space \u2014\u00a0a $750 million creation designed by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor that contains 110,000 square feet of exhibition space \u2014 isn\u2019t expected to open to the public until April 2026, when it will be home to LACMA\u2019s permanent collection.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe move to mid-city comes under the guidance and leadership of Mark Guiducci, Vanity Fair\u2019s recently installed global editorial director. He replaced Radhika Jones in the mag\u2019s top post and according to sources, he\u2019s been eager to put his own stamp on Vanity Fair\u2019s marquee event, and the location is expected to be the first in a series of Guiducci touches. He has experience with top-tier events, too, after having worked closely with Vogue and Cond\u00e9 Nast boss Anna Wintour on the Met Gala and Vogue World: Hollywood.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHollywood has never been more expansive than it is today,\u201d Guiducci said in a statement. \u201cThe film industry intersects with so many disciplines and the silos between them are breaking down. Artists make movies. Sports stars are producers. Moguls fund art museums. And technology is embedded throughout. We\u2019re thrilled to capture that energy with a cultural institution that undergirds the importance of Los Angeles and the industry at a time when Vanity Fair and LACMA are both entering exciting new chapters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs part of this new chapter, Vanity Fair has boarded the LACMA Art+Film Gala, the museum\u2019s marquee fundraiser that brings together a uniquely Los Angeles crowd comprised of artists, filmmakers, moguls, billionaires, models, music insiders and fashionistas. It\u2019s long been supported by Gucci. <\/p>\n

\n\tThere\u2019s a connection between the old home and the new one. LACMA\u2019s long-serving CEO Michael Govan<\/a> also serves as the director of the Wallis Annenberg. In a statement, the respected leader also noted the other ties between Vanity Fair and the museum. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cVanity Fair has long been part of LACMA\u2019s story, from an exhibition of the magazine\u2019s photo archives in 2008 to the magazine\u2019s publication of a restaging of a historic artist photo in 2016,\u201d said Govan. \u201cWe are excited to forge this new partnership with Vanity Fair and to create new stories together, especially as we embark on an exciting chapter for the museum with the opening of our new building, the David Geffen Galleries.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBack in the day, when Vanity Fair was led by Graydon Carter, the mag steered its Oscar night event to become the hottest ticket in town in part because of the venue: the intimate and long shuttered Morton\u2019s in West Hollywood. Once it closed, Carter and team headed north to Jeff Klein\u2019s Sunset Boulevard staple Sunset Tower in 2008, where it was held until the move to Wallis Annenberg in 2014. In the decade-plus since then, the party has grown in size (and corporate sponsorships) while facing late-night competition from rival bashes thrown by Madonna and Guy Oseary and Beyonc\u00e9 and Jay-Z though it remains the only roof on Oscar night that hovers above legends from sports, screen, music, media and more (and typically every acting category Oscar winner from the night\u2019s telecast).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vanity Fair\u2019s A-list Oscar party is exiting the 90210.
