    Despite mixed reviews, Oscar host Seth MacFarlane has at least one A-Lister on his side: Charlize Theron.

    The “Snow White and the Huntsman” actress arrived at the party on The Lot in West Hollywood around midnight and made her way right to the front of the venue. MacFarlane transformed the venue into a gorgeous setting. Clad with white interior, trees, and with a large orchestra on stage, the “Family Guy” creator seemed to keep with the night’s “Old Hollywood” theme.

    Theron, 37, sipped on a drink and hung out with a small group of friends at a table near the stage. She appeared to be in great spirits while mingling with MacFarlane for a while, greeting him with a giant hug. Theron also complimented him on a job well done.

    “Les Miserables” has been named one of the best films of the year, and, at the Vanity Fair Campaign Hollywood bash Wednesday night, everyone stood in line to pay their respects to Universal’s crew.

    Director Tom Hooper was recognized at the soiree with his A-list cast by his side. Eddie Redmayne was one of the first major players to show and smiled as he chatted with Hooper in a gray suit. Amanda Seyfried was next to arrive and practically jumped on Hooper when she saw him.

    The “Mamma Mia!” beauty had her gorgeous blonde hair tucked back loosely and was legitimately the life of the party. It seemed as if guests — including omg! — couldn’t get enough of the 27 year-old actress. She was dancing between Hooper and Redmayne around 7:30 P.M., when Hathaway snuck into the restaurant.
