The Sunset Strip was packed with celebrities, parties and Oscar glow this weekend. For those not on the guest list, we’ve got your peek beyond the red carpet with a roundup of Oscar party coverage from West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip.

Vanity Fair Party at Sunset Tower
Perhaps the most buzz-worthy and coveted party of Oscar night is Vanity Fair’s annual Oscar Party, and once again it was held at the glamorous Sunset Tower hotel on The Sunset Strip. This ultra-exclusive soiree attracted Hollywood’s biggest stars and Oscar’s biggest winners, including Kathryn Bigelow, Sandra Bullock, Christoph Waltz, Jeff Bridges, Gabourey Sidibe, Meryl Streep, Carey Mulligan, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin, Neil Patrick Harris, Taylor Lautner, Zac Efron, Jane Fonda and Tom Ford.

The only thing hotter than the salsa in Austin will be the collection of Sunset Strip venues showcasing talent next week during SXSW. For those headed to the Lone Star State, make sure to mark these events on your calendar.

The Comedy Store hosts a day of hilarity with a showcase on Wednesday, March 17 featuring LA-based all stars Mack Lindsay, David Taylor, Nick Youssef, Justin Martindale and Benji Alflalo. The showcase starts at 1:30 p.m. and is followed by the beyond-words karaoke experience, Karaoke Killed The Cat, at 3 p.m. Both events take place at The Rusty Spurs (405 E. 7th Street). RSVP

The Sunset Strip Beautification Project is operating at full speed as it nears completion of phase I. We ask that you please pardon our dust this week as crews begin grinding and repaving the boulevard between Alta Loma and Harper Avenue. And remember, all businesses are open, so please don’t forget to stop and say hello.

SPECIAL ALERT: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10
Due to circumstance beyond the City’s control, it will be necessary for crews to do some early morning work tomorrow. The work includes grinding the pavement between Alta Loma Road and Harper Avenue between the hours of 1 – 7 a.m.

Regular work hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Please note there is no work on weekends.
