The dramatic events at Sunday night’s Oscars ceremony did not deter Best Actor winner Will Smith from attending the Vanity Fair after party, family in tow, to celebrate his first Academy Award. Earlier in the evening, Smith had stunned the audience and viewers at home when he walked on stage during the ceremony at the Dolby and smacked presenter Chris Rock after Rock made a joke at the expense of Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
Later, after winning the Best Actor prize for King Richard, Smith did not venture backstage to make a statement or answer questions from reporters. Based on photos from news agencies, it also does not appear that he attended the Governors Ball immediately following the ceremony. But at about midnight, he was seen entering the Vanity Fair party at the Wallis Annenberg Center in Beverly Hills.

The outlet reports that the DJ played Smith’s hit “Gettin Jiggy Wit It” as a circle formed around the actor. The New Yorker’s Michael Schulman also commented on the sight while video circulating online shows Smith dancing.
