Vanity Fair Scouting for New Oscar Party Location

Perhaps throwing a party for Hollywood’s biggest stars in a parking lot wasn’t such a good idea after all.

Vanity Fair confirms to Malkin that indeed, after a year in the main parking lot of Sunset Plaza, publication event staff – per Graydon Carter’s directive – are evaluating new locations for next year’s star-studded bash. However, a spokesperson was equally quick to clarify that despite what Malkin had heard, the embattled Beverly Hills Hotel has not been visited as part of this process.

While Malkin suggests Carter is looking once again for an establishment/locale with more “name” recognition than a parking lot can offer, such as 2012 party HQ the Sunset Tower, the VF spokesperson spun a different party line:

A rep said they were “very happy” with this year’s location.
