It was the Oscars that almost never was.
The world's most glamorous awards ceremony had been threatened with cancellation, due to the recent Hollywood writers' strike, and it was only given the green-light at the very last minute.
But last Sunday (24.02.08), a galaxy of A-list stars descended on Los Angeles for the 80th Academy Awards, although events of the past few months were still apparent with many refusing to stop and do the mandatory talk on the red carpet.
The three-month strike almost crippled Hollywood and January's Golden Globes ceremony was scrapped because of it.
Although a deal was struck to allow the Oscars to go-ahead even before the strike was officially resolved a few weeks ago, many post awards bashes were cancelled with the biggest casualty being the Vanity Fair party.
The magazine's soiree is considered the most glamorous and exclusive post-Oscars event, with a guest list strictly reserved for A-list stars and VIPs.
However, the magazine wanted to show their respect for the writers and felt it would be inappropriate to party the night away.
