You know what’s better than celebrities without makeup? Yeah, I know: not too much. But really, there’s something that’s of equal or slightly-lesser value floating around out there, and if you’re lucky, you can occasionally catch a glimpse. It’s called ‘candid photos’, guys, and Vanity Fair launched a bunch of them from their Oscar Party photo booth, hence the post title crying “Oscar Party 2012 Photo Booth!”
I just love the concept. I mean, think about it: celebrities get to get all schnockered and lit up on … well, whatever, and then they go take embarrassing photos that would even embarrass them if they were seen by other own mothers. For the most part. Then you have celebrities who are just as stoic as ever, and you can tell that they’re practically turning coal into diamonds in their tight ass chutes. I mean, that’s something to smile about in itself, is it not? Come on. Don’t take yourselves so seriously!
Yeah, I realize that the stars all probably had final say over what was run, and that doesn’t really make them candid at all, but that photo up there of Emma Stone? The funky face where it looks like she’s missing some teeth? That’s pure gold right there, guys, and the fact that Emma probably approved this photo herself speaks volumes as to the kind of (awesome, non-pretentious) person she is. Also, sorry about the lack of information when you hover over the photos. I just didn’t recognize some of these folks. If you’d be so kind, please fill a sister in and let me know who the mystery peeps are, OK? Can you do that for me, friends?
The dude with Ginnifer Goodwin is Josh Dallas, her co-star in Once Upon a Time. As for the others… yeah, I have no idea. When did I fall so behind on KNOWING WHO PEOPLE ARE?!
The one labeled “Kristen Chenoweth” is actually Rachael Harris (The Hangover, New Girl) and Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm).
The ginger in “Ugh, I am so bad at this game” is Ellie Kemper (The Office, Bridesmaids). The dude is a writer for Conan O’Brien but I don’t know his name and feel too lazy to look it up.
Thanks for telling her about Josh Dallas. I’m sitting here wringing my hands and thinking “WHY AREN’T YOU WATCHING ONCE UPON A TIME?!”. He’s beautiful and since he plays Prince Charming, I’m kind of in love with him.
the “um, more people i’m not sure about” one, the black guy is Anthony Mackie!!-but yeah those other two i’m at a loss
the guy with elizabeth olsen is clayton hawkins he’s a singer
The ginger? Who even says that? Anyway, wrong Scout, it’s not Ellie. The Brittany Snow lookalike is Jessy Schram (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1789336) from Once Upon a Time.
NPH and Burtka…. look how adorable they are!! Such a romantic picture where they kiss :)
The “dude” with SS and her boobs I’d her husband Alan Hamill
