Hugh Grant and Ashley Graham's red carpet exchange about "Vanity Fair " (he was talking about the 1848 novel about shallow society, she thought he was referring to the 2023 magazine after party) is my favourite #Oscars moment of all time.
@katherineesingh She was ill informed for that interview
@katherineesingh She handled that stonewalling like a pro though
@katherineesingh Thought he was talking about the concept in general, a celebration of frivolity and vanity but yeah the novel works too. He was in a mood in that interview haha
@katherineesingh Grant's reference is to Vanity Fair, a dissolute place in The Pilgrim's Progress where everything and everyone is for sale: "houses, lands, trades, places, honors, preferments, titles, countries, kingdoms, lusts, pleasures; and delights of all sorts..."
@katherineesingh Their points of reference are both correct and widely off from the others. Great television. #Oscar2023 #Oscar #HughGrant #AshleyGraham
@katherineesingh omg that was so incredibly painful, and you saw him just totally check out when he realized that she didn't get it. @pronounced_ing
