Gotham gets its Oscar groove on


Parties turn the intensity up a notch

By DADE HAYES of Variety.com

As snowflakes started dropping on Manhattan, a couple hundred revelers gathered at the Gramercy Park Hotel for Variety's inaugural viewing party. "New York cares about the Oscars too," Lloyd Kaufman said. (whose latest film is "Poultergeist") and his wife, Pat, who is film commissioner for New York State.

An older crowd decked out in fur and finery sipped champagne in the St. Regis Hotel at the Academy's viewing party.

Further downtown, at the Spotted Pig, New York magazine welcomed an eclectic array to its second Oscar bash. Sen. Charles Schumer, Michael Stipe and Liev Schreiber held court in various nooks of the bistro. Also on hand were "30 Rock's" Lonny Ross, thesps Josh Charles, Elias Koteas, Christian Hoff and Daniel Reichard.
