"It was one of the best shows I've ever seen," said Diane Lane (in David Meister) after the final credits rolled at the 80th annual Academy Awards. Once the Oscars had been handed out, Hollywood got down to some entertainment business at after-parties across Los Angeles. While Lane and Penelope Cruz (in Chanel Haute Couture) celebrated No Country for Old Men's Oscar sweep at the Miramax/Audi bash, stars like George Clooney, Heidi Klum and Ben Affleck hit celebrations like the official Governors Ball and Elton John's annual film fete, where they found lights, cameras and plenty of action.
