on Tom Ford:
"Tom's a friend of mine. I've known him for a long time from the fashion world and socially. I knew that he had aspirations to direct. He's talked about it for a long time, but never to me.
When he sent me the script it was out of the blue, it was a quite a surprise. I was very struck by it. I loved my character. She made me laugh and I hadn't seen anyone like her before and I hadn't seen a friendship depicted like that." NY Daily News

The week of Oscar parties finally has the real Oscar front and center- Oscar Wilde: Honoring the Irish in Film event feted J.J. Abrams and Seamus McGarvey at the Ebell of Los Angeles. An invitation only event-Oscar celebrated all things Irish for the 5th year with music by Irish bands Bell X1 and Jupiter Rising. "I wanted to create something that had the feel like you're hanging out with your friends at your house," says Trina Vargo, the president of the U.S.-Irish Alliance. "We encourage people to, please, wear jeans. I just want people not to feel like they have to rush home because they hate what they're wearing. And so we've intentionally tried to make it very casual, very house party." Read about the event schedule in full here


Who better than to name a Hollywood event after than the playwright Wilde- Film loves the Wilde plays. Those adapted to the screen-
