There will be a number of post-Golden Globes parties tonight — Summit, Warner Bros., Fox, Weinstein, etc. — but a pair of studios did it up Saturday night in honor of their nominees.
First at the Chateau Marmont, Paramount toasted its stable with a star-studded, paparazzi-snapping affair. Actually, it wasn’t the least bit comfortable. Talk about over-invited. In the inner sanctum, surrounded by Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Benicio Del Toro, Vera Farmiga, Anna Kendrick, Mike Tyson (who wasn’t on the list, but would you turn him away?), George Clooney, Chris Pine, Tobey Maguire, etc., breathing, let alone moving more than two inches, was a chore. Jason Reitman was on hand early on but had to take off for the LAFCA gala before long. Luckily, he missed that fire hazard.
I got a few seconds with Farmiga, who was excited to say hello to Scorsese again. Anne Kendrick and her beau Edgar Wright smartly made their way to a secondary room at one point where we had a nice chat. Wright was, of course, being hit up by “Scott Pilgrim” queries left and right. From the youngsters, that is. The crowd was largely, shall we say, octogenarian. Plenty of HFPA and Academy members scattered throughout. And Kendrick, bless her heart, didn’t even want to talk about the “O-word.”
