"I'm always ready to dance. My life is like a big dance floor," said Hudgens, who kicked up her Sergio Rossi heels during commercial breaks. "Plus Sundays are my cheat day, so I'm very happy that there is a candy bar here!"

After making his predictions for the Academy Awards ballot contest-the four guests who correctly guessed the most winners received diamonds from Forevermark-self-proclaimed "Oscars nut" Darren Criss (in Armani) held court in his own private corner of the party, where he kept one eye on the television and one on the buffet table. What was the Glee star's favorite moment of the ceremony? "Anne Hathaway, I adore Anne!" Criss said of the Oscar co-host, who will soon make a guest appearance on Glee. "I think she's wonderful."

Clad in a Calvin Klein tux, Australian actor Liam Hemsworth claimed he spent no time getting ready for Hollywood’s biggest night. "It takes me about a half hour to get ready. I jump in the shower, put my suit on and get in the car," Hemsworth explained of his two-step strategy. "These parties are always great because everyone has so much fun."
