With Hollywood stars everywhere in LA over Oscar weekend, who do the A-listers get star-struck by? Athletes.
The biggest sources of fascination on the party circuit weren't in the movies — as Carolina Panthers' quarterback Cam Newton, Roger Federer and Serena Williams were all in town for the awards.
"Everyone wants to talk to Cam Newton," said one exec who'd spotted him at WME's starry pre-Oscars party Saturday night in a room that included Leo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, Sylvester Stallone and Charlize Theron.
"In Hollywood, all they want to do is meet the athletes," the power player said.
WME moved its party this year to a Beverly Hills estate once owned by Paul McCartney, and DJ Kaskade spun tunes as Williams boogied all night.
Nearby, DiCaprio chatted with Dasha Zhukova, and Affleck looked Bruce Wayne-like in a jacket and vest hanging with brother Casey and Matt Damon.
Big-budget directors David Fincher and Michael Bay huddled nearby as WME's Ari Emanuel and Patrick Whitesell presided over the fête with guests including Idris Elba, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, Wiz Khalifa, Tim Allen, Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe and Larry David.
At Harvey Weinstein's pre-Oscars dinner at the Montage Beverly Hills, where guests included Rooney Mara and a late-arriving Lady Gaga, Federer could hardly swallow a slice of his steak with all the insiders coming up for selfies as he sat with Weinstein and Georgina Chapman.
Weinstein planned to bring the dashing Swiss tennis champ to the awards as a guest.
CAA took a cue from Vanity Fair's Oscars extravaganza and had staggered arrival times for some guests. VIPs included Barbra Streisand, Jennifer Lawrence, Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Bradley Cooper, Morgan Freeman, and Eddie Redmayne.
UTA's party was at the home of chairman Jim Berkus for guests including Brett Ratner, Judd Apatow, Jennifer Lopez, Jerry Bruckheimer, and ICM had a smaller affair for its nominees.
