"After much consideration, and in support of the writers and everyone else affected by this strike, we have decided that this is not the appropriate year to hold our annual Oscar party. We want to congratulate all of this year’s nominees and we look forward to hosting our 15th Oscar party next year."

As per The Guardian, Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter decided to cancel the A-list event on February 24 "despite rumblings of an end to the three-month industrial action because he felt the effect on Tinseltown was likely to linger."

Carter added, "Inasmuch as Vanity Fair is a collection of writers, photographers and artists, we do feel ourselves in aligned solidarity with the writers, directors and actors in the film business."
