00:00 Hello VIP scene enthusiasts.

00:02 I'm Travis Cronin here at Us Weekly Magazine,

00:04 and we have made it to the big time.

00:07 It is the biggest night in Tinseltown, the Oscars.

00:10 And the party isn't only inside the Dolby Theater.

00:13 There are also a lot of gifting lounges, VIP experience,

00:16 and swanky after parties.

00:18 So let's take a look at what the stars will

00:20 be doing on Oscar night.

00:22 First up, the acclaimed Vanity Fair Oscar party.

00:26 Now, this is one of the parties with the biggest A-list stars

00:29 changing into their after party dresses,

00:32 hitting the red carpet, and rubbing elbows

00:35 with all of Hollywood's elite.

00:37 This marks the party's 30th year anniversary,

00:40 taking place at the Wallace Annenberg Center.

00:43 Now, there will be the fabulous red carpet

00:46 and the famous portrait studio presented by Nespresso.

00:50 You can take place in all the action, too,

00:52 watching along for the live stream red carpet hosted

00:55 by Tam France and Michelle Buteau.

00:58 As Jay-Z famously said, after the show, it's the after party.

01:02 And the Oscars is no exception.

01:04 Directly following the Oscars, guests

01:07 will be headed to the Governor's Ball,

01:09 just a short walk away from the Dolby Theater.

01:11 They will be treated to high-end cuisine provided

01:14 by Wolfgang Pupp, live performances, aerial acrobatics,

01:18 and just general revelry.

01:21 The great thing about the Governor's Ball

01:22 is that every single winner has to bring their Oscars trophy

01:25 over to get it engraved.

01:27 That's right, the statue that the stars receive is blank,

01:30 and they walk over to the Governor's Ball

01:32 and have their Oscar shined up and engraved with their name.

01:36 So A-list celebrities are a guarantee.

01:39 Another party featuring their 30-year anniversary

01:42 at the Oscars is Guy Oseary's party that he

01:45 hosts with his client, Madonna.

01:47 Now, this party takes place every year.

01:50 Guests really don't show up until about 1 AM,

01:53 and the party goes until about 5 or 6 AM.

01:56 Jennifer Lawrence has notoriously drank so much

01:59 that she is thrown up in the bushes,

02:01 so this is a place where celebrities

02:02 really let their hair down.

02:04 Be sure to see the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Miley Cyrus,

02:08 and tons of the stars from the show

02:10 as they get into their late-night hijinks

02:13 with Madonna.

02:14 Let's talk about the swag.

02:17 Yes, the Oscars are a place where celebrities get freebies

02:21 just for being famous.

02:24 This year, the GBK Brand Bar will

02:26 be hosting its free gifting suite pre-Oscars

02:29 at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel the Friday and Saturday

02:32 before the Oscars.

02:34 This ultra-exclusive pre-Oscars luxury in the past

02:39 has gifted high-end watches, handbags, trips, and experience

02:44 to all the presenters and the nominees this year

02:47 and select VIP entertainers.

02:50 Guests will walk away with high-end swag

02:53 from Mont Blanc, Tag Heuer, Balenciaga, St. Laurent purses,

02:58 and the list goes on.

03:01 This location will also be giving away stand-up arcade

03:05 games, amazing pieces of art, free stays in villas

03:08 and Turks and Caicos, with a grand total of $85,000

03:13 in swag being given away per presenter or per nominee.

03:18 Sometimes it really does pay to be famous.

03:21 Well, Beyonce and Jay-Z's Gold Party

03:23 has quickly become the go-to after party for the Oscars.

03:28 Ever since starting the party four years ago,

03:30 it has grabbed the hottest celebrity A-list clientele

03:34 to attend their event, the likes of Kylie Jenner, Natalie

03:38 Portman, Leonardo DiCaprio.

03:40 Every presenter and winner will be

03:42 clamoring to get into the Gold Party this year, whose theme

03:45 has not been revealed yet.

03:47 But the previous year paid homage

03:49 to Beyonce and Jay-Z's hometown of Houston and Brooklyn.

03:54 Now, you can't just be a famous face to get in there.

03:56 Notoriously-- and we will not name them--

03:58 celebs have been turned away at the door

04:01 for not meeting Queen B and Jay-Z's high expectations.

04:07 This party happens every year at the Chateau

04:09 Mermont, a famous hotel in the LA area.

04:12 And while it is luxurious with A-list clientele,

04:15 Chrissy Teigen once shared that it's pretty casual,

04:18 and they had pool tables set up, and it is extravagant,

04:21 but not stuffy.

04:23 So that will be the party to watch this year.

04:26 Well, that's it for this week's VIP Scene Oscars edition.

04:30 Now you know where to check out all of the parties

04:32 outside of the Oscars themselves.

04:35 Have fun celebrity watching, and we'll see you in Tinseltown.
