In-N-Out, photo booths, and more: Celebs rage after craziest Oscars yet
There's no party quite like the after party. Or in this case, three of the biggest Oscars after parties, which featured everything from mini pot pies and Instagram in-jokes to a temporarily missing Casey Affleck.
The Oscars mix-up, aka "#envelopegate"—during which La La Land was announced as Best Picture, but Moonlight actually won—didn't keep Hollywood's biggest stars from having as much fun as possible on their big night out.
Here's a round up of the best see-and-be-seen party moments.

The Governors Ball
Conveniently held just upstairs from the Dolby Theatre, where the ceremony itself takes place, the Governors Ball is the first stop for many stars at the Oscars.
Here, Wolfgang Puck fed the masses with trademark deliciousness (macaroni and cheese, individual pot pies, mini cheeseburger sliders and of course chocolate Oscars) as award winners got their statuettes customized.
Despite the Best Picture confusion, the casts of La La Land and Moonlight celebrated one another with selfies and smiles.

In West Hollywood, at a dimly lit bar called Delilah, Amazon Studios celebrated its three Oscars. It was the first time the streaming service took home Hollywood's highest honor, so happiness among party-goers was at an all-time high (despite the 20-minute line to get in).
Guests, including Top Amazon executives, munched on sliders, mingled at the bar and lined up in the back of the venue to take pictures in the photo booth. Decor on the walls included stills from the Iranian film The Salesman, which Amazon distributed in the U.S. But, in protest of Donald Trump's travel ban, the movie's cast and crew were notably absent from the awards show, and therefore the after party.
By 11 p.m., many people kept asking, "Where's Casey?" The man of the hour arrived shortly after the hushed inquiries, holding his Oscar for Manchester by the Sea and smiling for photos. The Best Actor winner exchanged a warm embrace with Roy Price, head of Amazon Studios.
One onlooker said, "I'm so excited for Amazon."
Vanity Fair
The VF event, hosted by Graydon Carter, has long been the hottest Oscars afterparty. This year was no different; the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills was transformed into a magical escape after the show.
Everyone who is anyone in Hollywood, tech, and everything in between eventually makes their way to the party of the year (Mashable got the invite last year), and this year also kept to tradition. Guests included everyone from Apple's Jimmy Iovine to Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel.
Supermodel Adriana Lima posted a picture of herself with Kimmel (who continued his faux feud with Matt Damon during Sunday's show) and Damon himself at the party, along with the caption: "Peacemaker Angel... Can't we all just get along?"
The two must-dos: Eat In-N-Out and take a picture in the photo booth. (Or all the photo booths! There's a regular one plus Mark Seliger's Instagram studio). See you next year!
