By the time “Spring Breakers” writer and director Harmony Korine got to the massive Arclight premiere on Thursday night, he barely had a voice left.

The same couldn't be said for the screeching fans on both sides of Sunset Boulevard who came hoping to glimpse Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, Vanessa Hudgens, and James Franco -- an unusually puffy turnout for an Arclight premiere.

'American Idol' Top 10 Show and After-Party: What You Didn’t See on TV

March, 08, 2013 7:55 am | Comments On #Amber Holcomb, American Idol, Angie Miller, Curtis Finch Jr., Janelle Arthur, Keith Urban, Lazaro Arbos, Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Randy Jackson, Television, Top 12

50% off! I’m not talking about the down-but-still-strong ratings for “American Idol’s” Season 12. It was the logline as last week’s newly minted “Top 20” became the “Top 10” in a brisk 90-minute live-results show Thursday night.

(Above: The singer who only stutters when he talks, Lazaro Arbos, learned his favorable fate on Thursday night.)

Inside the studio and at the after-party, here’s what you didn’t see on TV.

For all the lore about the late Swifty Lazar’s iron-fisted control over his Oscar night viewing party -- he reportedly forced guests to stay in their assigned seats and watch the show attentively at his precursor to the current Vanity Fair party -- Sir Elton John’s crowd needs no direction.

People actually watch the show intently, but it was totally OK for some, like Jim Carrey, to also clown around in costumes.

Some of the fashion wasn't meant to be a costume. Randy Jackson was such a social centerpiece in the middle of the room throughout the night that I didn’t think he had a seat. He did.

Marc Friedland designs the Oscars' envelope and the “winners’ cards” that are put inside and opened live on-air. 

Touched only by this year’s presenters like Dustin Hoffman, Jack Nicholson, Sandra Bullock, Halle Berry, and Meryl Streep, the PricewaterhouseCoopers accountants who will hand it to them, and Friedland who handed it to the accountants before that, they are seen by billions but handled by few.

As of 5 p.m. on Tuesday, the voting is over.

The wave that started with questions over champagne at Cannes, morphed into awards whispers in Telluride, cocktail chatter in Toronto and full-scale debutante balls between October and December at AFI, Academy screenings and holiday premieres, finally crashes out wide to create a festive sea over the next five days.

Here’s how to surf your way through the 2013 slate of Oscar parties. Our listing is divided into four categories based on the guest list and tone of each: Nominees, Power Players, The Scene, and The March Through Oscar Sunday

An Awards Nightcap

Pietro Coccia

After losing to “Argo” writer Chris Terrio at the Writers Guild Awards Sunday night, “Silver Linings Playbook” writer-director David O. Russell still came out a winner in Hollywood.

Russell picked up a “Director of the Year” Award at the L.A., Italia Film Festival, which took place at the rechristened TCL Chinese Theatre (formerly Grauman’s).

For any as-yet undecided Academy voters watching the clock, Russell’s appearance came only hours before Oscars voting closes Tuesday at 5 p.m.

Al Pacino joined Russell at the festival, picking up the...

When it came to the Grammys after-parties, there was  only one clear winner: Alicia Keys, Shaq, Flo Rida, John Legend, Afrojack, Ne-Yo, Jermaine Dupri, “Puffy’s” son Justin Combs, and even Jenna Jameson filled the SLS to capacity for the seasonal House of Hype.

But there were plenty of other choices: Record of the Year winner Gotye met up with Republic Records Founder Avery Lipman (left) at Republic’s party at the Emerson Theatre.

On the night before the Grammys, the home of the Golden Globes and over 175 other red carpet events of the year became “the Vanity Fair Oscar party of Grammy weekend,” as manager Eric Podwall called it on the way in.

A pillar in its own right, Clive Davis’ annual pre-Grammy party anchored the weekend. CBS President Les Moonves admitted he’s heard Sunday’s Grammys telecast (on his own network) referred to as “the Clive Davis after-party.”

After the lights flickered back on and the confetti fell on the victorious Ravens inside the Super Dome, one of the NFL’s top teammates was not done dominating Super Bowl weekend.

In New Orleans, where there’s no such thing as last call, there was a break from tradition in capping the game with a Hollywood style after-party, this time with the big halftime and third quarter blackout winner, Pepsi.

Leveraging an 11-year partnership with Beyonce Knowles, which ESPN reports is the first time a presenting sponsor had an existing deal with the performer, they punted the focus forward to the next big tentpole, this weekend’s Grammys. Like the...

This weekend, New Orleans pushes the pause button on two weeks of Mardi Gras revelry for Super Bowl festivities.

That’s like stuffing an ice cream sundae in to a French toast muffuletta. It’s a rich stew.

From a Beatle to Beyonce, there’s a slew of global names invading the Big Easy, but there’s one not-yet NFL player who could stir the gossip in every party mix: Manti Te’o.  Will the catfished draft prospect show up? And if he does, which party will get him?

“High-profile draft candidates with sponsor commitments will attend (Super Bowl parties), but you won’t see a large number of draft candidates,” says Carlos Fleming, IMG Vice...
