The promised land for aspiring actors and directors, good ol' Hollywood, has just hosted its 92nd Academy Awards ceremony. For one night only, all eyes were on the disputedly naked Oscar. But there’s always more to it than what meets the eye and for that, one needs a camera lens. Celebrity photographer Mark Seliger rolled up his sleeves and lined up celebrities for the surreal Vanity Fair portrait series. The result is captivating! Martin Scorsese pierces through his portrait and looks right back at us, and Robert De Niro appears calm and focused. It’s not the first time that Seliger has snapped such sincere moments. Take a look at his star-studded portraits in 2019 or if you’re feeling nostalgic, take a walk down memory lane with portraits from the 2015 Oscar party.

This is just my unpopular opinion, but I think her music is terrible and I don't understand all the hype.

There’s no life behind those eyes, I’m not a hater, I just think this picture lacks any emotion whatsoever

If you look at the other images, the subjects look thoughtful, lively, tender, but not with the subject posed as if for a commercial fashion shoot with no internal life. The texture of the dress photographs as unpleasantly coarse. Is this all by accident or just my viewpoint?

Well, I do like the dress in this shot. The mossy greens are lovely with the faded paint.

It's plain to see that Mr. Seligman is genuinely skilled and has a gifted eye.

Sh always looks like she's trying too hard. Not sure why she's in this group.

It's an AFTER party, so anyone can be invited. She looks stunning, too.
