With no Vanity Fair party to go to after the Oscars — the magazine opted for series of virtual events leading up to the the 93rd Academy Awards instead of throwing its annual after-party — Hollywood found other ways to cap off the industry’s biggest night of the year. The Sunset Tower hotel became a place to be on Sunday following the ceremony at Union Station so much so that paparazzi and autograph seekers lined the entrance to the legendary West Hollywood landmark.
Glenn Close was the first star to arrive shortly after the credits rolled on the Oscars. The eight-time nominee — and very impressive “Da Butt” dancer — arrived solo, but was met by her daughter, “Ratched” actor Annie Starke and her husband Marc Albu, at their poolside table as well as by applause by several fellow diners. Close’s agent, CAA’s Franklin Latt, also joined the group.

Illustration by Jeff CashvanMovie-lovers!We are thrilled to debut a collaboration between Mubi’s Notebook and The Deuce Film Series, our monthly event at Nitehawk Williamsburg that excavates the facts and fantasies of cinema's most infamous block in the world: 42nd Street between 7th and 8th Avenues. For each screening, my co-hosts and I pick a flick that we think embodies the era of all-night moviegoing down the “Glittering Gulch,” and present the theater at which it premiered. We think our little variety act is delicious fun... call us bawdy bon vivants.Back in 2015, we had the wonderful chance to thread and project the only known 35mm print in existence of Robert Butler’s Night of the Juggler (1980)—a memorable evening and a memorable film. Hence, we decided that this is the perfect title to get the ball rolling… Also at our monthly shindig: our 'famous' raffle, the grand prize...
