19 Celebrity Portraits Taken After The 2019 Oscar Ceremony
When the curtains went down after the 2019 Oscars ceremony, many of the celebrities went on to attend the annual afterparty, hosted by Vanity Fair. During the party, photographer Mark Seliger took portraits of the celebs in a calmer and less formal setting and they look as amazing as ever.
However, the setting was no accident – the Art Deco style interior, the marble stairs, and the checkered floor were are meticulously chosen by the photographer to highlight what the Oscars really mean to the celebrities.

One of the first people to have their portrait taken was actress Selma Blair, who has recently announced her diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. It was her first public appearance since the announcement. “I am disabled. I fall sometimes. I drop things. My memory is foggy. And my left side is asking for directions from a broken GPS. But we are doing it. And I laugh and I don’t know exactly what I will do precisely but I will do my best,” wrote the actress recently on Instagram .

One day, this guy just kind of figured - “I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?” - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that’s trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that’s too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!
