The 2026 Academy Awards saw Michael B. Jordan and Jessie Buckley take home the night’s top acting honors with One Battle After Another earning Best Picture.
The legendary bash, which was founded by former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter in 1994, always takes place after the big awards show, where Hollywood’s finest celebrate their wins and commiserate their losses.
Guests in previous years have included Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos and wife Lauren Sanchez, Kim Kardashian, Julia Fox, 50 Cent, and even President Donald Trump.
But according to a new Q+A by Guiducci, 36, in Tuesday’s edition of Feed Me – a daily Substack newsletter about the spirit of enterprise by Emily Sundberg – this year’s party will be different to previous iterations.

Guiducci was asked about the ways in which he keeps the brand’s Oscars party ‘fresh’ and how he thinks about it now that he has inherited it from Carter.
It was then that he revealed the big changes that will be happening.
‘This Sunday, we will have a smaller guest list than in recent years and are cultivating a sense of privacy so that people can let their hair down,’ Guiducci revealed in Feed Me.
He also shared that even though this year’s red carpet will be ‘bigger than ever,’ the only journalism coming from inside the party will be that of Vanity Fair – meaning that no other outlets will have access.

‘It is just what the mood might be that day, but we’re happy to be part of this, a wonderful, wonderful journey with our fellow nominees, our fellow filmmakers that even weren’t recognized by The Academy.’
