3. Ari Emanuel
The head of William Morris Endeavor goes head to head with CAA’s Bryan Lourd the Friday before the Oscars with his Oscar party now in it’s 2nd year. The battle of CAA vs. WME is always a Truffle must.
4. Brett Ratner, Madonna, and Demi Moore
Madonna and Demi Moore have been throwing the coolest Oscar after party EVER at Brett’s house a couple years in a row now … Prince usually performs; and obviously Ashton performs too. ;)
5. Dani Janssen

(Jeff also throws an Emmys equivalent called “The Evening Before” which was held outside CAA in Century this past Emmys).
6. Nic Beggruen
Nic the Billionaire hosts an annual pre Oscar party at the Chateau each year with the usual L.A. suspects who go out and international travelers. Usually Nadine Johnson is on riff raff patrol.
7. Patrick Whitesell
WME’s Patrick Whitesell use to throw his party with Brent Bolthouse in that round house up up up up on Fairfax…it was known as the “Vanity Fair after party” … in addition to Patrick’s and Ari’s parties this year, WME is also hosting a soiree at a certain Bungalow 1 that sounds rather special.
8. Elton John & David Furnish
The most famous Oscar party is a fun viewing party if you are not nominated but still want to be in the element. It is at the Pacific Design Center ever year and benefits his charity–the Elton John Foundation.
