The All Quiet on the Western Front cast and crew began trooping into the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts as the clock was about to strike 1 a.m. Monday

Another served just champagne and Prosecco, while yet another was dedicated to tequila cocktails. They weren’t alone; there were still more bars.
The All Quiet crowd stocked up on drinks. There were people connected to Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio too. The Vanity Fair Oscar Party hosted by editor in chief Radhika Jones was, clearly, the place to be.
