    [All photos by Billy Farrell for PMc]. Last night, "THE" red carpet weathered an endless sea of Louboutins, gowns and sharp suits for the 82nd Annual Academy Awards. The magical hosting duo of Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, the first female winner in the Best Director category and 10 nominees for Best Film were just some of the magical moments watched, live, across America. As always, Vanity Fair coordinated one ginormous par-tay to mark the occasion, luring some of the industry's most sought after stars to the beautiful Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood to celebrate the evening. Are you ready...really, take a minute.

    Having pretty much every heavy hitter in the industry under one roof was enough celeb action to give Ari Gold a heart attack, making for star-spotting overload. Fortunately, Twitter was hard on the five inch heels of those coming and going so everyone could stay on top of the latest.
