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 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..."
@owl_irritable @katherineesingh some would even say a euphemism for society in general.
