00:00 Ryan Gosling is potentially performing tonight.
00:04 His song.
00:05 I'm just kidding.
00:08 Sorry, those are the only words I know.
00:10 (laughing)
00:13 Hey Vanity Fair, it's Dominic Sessa.
00:25 I'm getting ready for the Oscars right now.
00:26 Come on in.
00:28 Welcome.
00:29 (phone ringing)
00:31 Hello?
00:31 Yeah, yeah please.
00:33 That's the fit.
00:36 It's on its way.
00:37 It's a black Tom Ford, I think,
00:41 I'm wearing a cummerbund.
00:43 Is that how you say it?
00:44 Cummerbund.
00:45 See, obviously I haven't worn one before.
00:48 - When was the last time you wore a tux?
00:50 (laughing)
00:52 - Never actually.
00:53 When I went to prom, I wore a tuxedo t-shirt.
00:57 Those are good pictures.
00:58 Miller High Life, this is the champagne of beers.
01:01 I think this is most appropriate
01:03 for an evening like the Oscars.
01:05 Where do you stand on Miller High Life, Ms. Crane?
01:08 - Well, like they say, it's the champagne of beers.
01:11 - I was genuinely underage when we filmed the movie,
01:15 so they didn't give me real beer.
01:17 I did try it, actually, on New Year's.
01:18 All my friends got me a case of Miller High Life
01:21 for the 2024 New Year's.
01:24 I was in New York, and that was the first time I had it,
01:27 and it's actually pretty good.
01:29 - All right, your look is here, Dom.
01:32 - Oh, amazing.
01:34 Check it out.
01:35 Hello. - How are you?
01:36 - Good, how are you?
01:37 Awesome.
01:38 Bags, bags.
01:41 - Bags upon bags upon bags.
01:43 (laughing)
01:50 - Let's go.
01:51 - Those are the best.
01:57 I kind of like this one, though.
02:00 Like, all black, that's kind of cool, too.
02:03 There it is.
02:04 Here we go.
02:06 We're gonna be able to...
02:08 There we go.
02:12 Bon appetit.
02:14 I'm such a fruit person, it's like,
02:18 it's honestly like candy to me.
02:20 - So what makeup look are you going for today?
02:23 - What makeup look am I going for?
02:24 - The smokey eye.
02:25 - Smokey eye. - That's it.
02:27 - I'm just excited, and I'm just excited to see,
02:36 you know, my partners in this,
02:39 and like, all the other filmmakers I've worked with,
02:41 and just to see everybody kind of be celebrated.
02:44 It's gonna be awesome.
02:45 Paul and I communicate on things.
02:47 I mean, he likes to just send me texts,
02:49 like a lot, just reminding me of how crazy this all is.
02:52 I'm like, yeah, dude, I know, it's nuts.
02:55 Like, you're telling me.
02:56 I'm glad that he's stayed connected with me.
02:59 I think he is someone who, I don't know,
03:01 I hope to maintain that relationship for forever, you know?
03:05 He means a lot to me, great mentor.
03:07 So tonight, I'm wearing a very formal outfit by Tom Ford,
03:12 and I'm wearing a bow tie,
03:14 which is a bit unprecedented for me,
03:15 and some cool, like, onyx button things.
03:19 - You look stunning.
03:21 - I do? - Yeah.
03:24 - Thanks, so do you. - You do.
03:25 - All right, time to get dressed.
03:27 Let's do it.
03:28 Now I will get dressed.
03:35 Goodbye.
03:36 - Why was he so formal about that?
03:42 Now I will get dressed.
03:44 (upbeat music)
03:47 - Voila.
03:53 Amazing.
03:56 (laughing)
04:00 That was not intended.
04:01 I just kinda slipped and it happened.
04:04 (upbeat music)
04:07 (upbeat music)
04:10 - Comedy secure.
04:24 Brilliant.
04:32 Amazing.
04:35 (upbeat music)
04:38 Just one last thing.
04:52 Now we're ready.
04:55 (laughing)
04:57 - Oscars.
04:59 (laughing)
05:01 - I'm gonna get it.
05:03 - Yeah.
05:04 The time has come, my friends.
05:12 Here we go.
05:13 - Bye. - Bye.
05:15 - Hello, I'm finally here.
05:22 We made it, and we're feeling good,
05:24 looking good, I hope,
05:26 and thanks, Vanity Fair, for all this.
05:28 It's amazing.
05:29 (upbeat music)
05:32 (upbeat music)
