Hollywood's elite mingle at the party of all parties Hollywood's leading lights headed into the night to celebrate or commiserate at a host of glitzy parties after walking the red carpet at the Academy Awards.

Ben Affleck could not believe the US first lady had read out "Argo" as the winner of best film. I was sort of hallucinating when that was happening.
