It has become quite a tradition for Vanity Fair magazine to publish celebrity portraits taken by photographer Mark Seliger right after the Oscars ceremony. After taking a year off, Seliger’s iconic portrait studio is back, where “the film industry’s biggest stars gather to pause, reflect, and pose,” wrote Vanity Fair.

The Oscars, as per usual, have been the talk of the town these days so it’s interesting to see the emotions on celebrities’ faces after the industry’s biggest night of the year. Scroll down to see beautiful portraits of Will Smith, Billie Eilish, and many more.

More info: Instagram

Mark Seliger, born in Amarillo, Texas, used to be Chief Photographer at Rolling Stone, where he shot nearly 200 covers over 10 years. Since then, he has been shooting frequently for Vanity Fair, Italian Vogue, Adidas, Ralph Lauren, and many other magazines and brands.

The talented photographer has received numerous awards for his work, which has been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world.

It’s not a secret that this year’s Oscars ceremony did not leave all the drama for its nominated films. After the event, the internet was having heated discussions about the physical altercation between Will Smith and Chris Rock that took place after the comedian made a joke about Will's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

Check out our post about the most interesting reactions online.

This is my favorite. He has the kindest face, the face of a man who plays the piano for his kitties.

That coat is so interesting. It was nice to see a lot of the men not just wearing a black tux.

That dress is shaped as a hand around her neck. It’s very disturbing yet people cry about the glorification of violence while thinking this is cool? It’s all messed up. Do we need to rethink everything now?

Violence is glorified all over the media every single day. The movies, the news even children's cartoons. Stop glorifying violence? Boycott all action movies and TV series and the news. Society laps up the violence portrayed in the media. It’s big business but we vilify it when it happens in real life. It’s wrong of course but it smacks of hypocrisy nevertheless.

Should have been taken to the police station, not to the backstage for family and Oscar photos.

Remember in 1989 when Will Smith was charged with aggravated assault (as well as other things)? Or that other video we have of him hitting a reporter on a red carpet? No? Nothing? People still think this is all okay?

Jaden Smith always looks like he is trying so hard to fit in. Every movie, every picture he reminds me of an extra that they slapped some cool clothes on and told to "stand and look famous"

Jaden immediately tweeted " And that's how we do it!". Really? Be ashamed of yourself, Will.

Same, I don't agree with what he did exactly, he should have been more professional, but I also can't lie and say that if someone took the piss out of my soon to be wife, that I wouldn't also respond in a similar manner.

Violence by words is accepted of course, this is called freedom of speech.

I absolutely love Will Smith! What he did was 100% wrong. But there is absolutely NO ONE that hasn’t made a mistake like that. They were just lucky they weren’t caught on camera. The pressure, scrutiny and judgment that family has been under the past year or so is not something I could handle. Also Chris Rock is a class act. He handled the situation beautifully.

A lot of us manage to go our whole lives without committing assault. It's really not that hard to just not hit people.
