This year will be a break in tradition for the Vanity Fair-organized Oscar party, as the magazine announced Tuesday that its support for the ongoing writers strike clashes with the idea of a glamorous party.

A new casualty has been registered in the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike. Vanity Fair released a statement Tuesday announcing that its annual Oscar party would not take place this year due to current circumstances.

“After much consideration, and in support of the writers and everyone else affected by this strike, we have decided that this is not the appropriate year to hold our annual Oscar party,” the magazine said in a statement. “We want to congratulate all of this year's nominees and we look forward to hosting our 15th Oscar party next year.”

The editor of Vanity Fair, Graydon Carter, said that the cancellation was the proper thing to do, regardless of recent promising signs in talks between the striking writers and production companies.

“A magazine like Vanity Fair is a group of writers and artists, and we are in solidarity with the writers and artists out there,” Mr. Carter was quoted by the New York Times as saying.

“Whether the strike is over or not, there are a lot of bruised feelings. I don’t think it’s appropriate for a big magazine from the East to come in and pretend nothing happened.”

He added, “There will be something sort of liberating about ordering Chinese food and watching the Oscars in bed.”

The Oscar ceremony is scheduled to take place Feb. 24 at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. The awards show will be televised by ABC.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has been adamant that the show will take place, reaffirming its intentions Monday, during the traditional Academy Awards luncheon at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Sid Ganis, president of the academy, told those present that honoring and celebrating the art of movie-making is essential. “We're going to hand out Oscars not because of some quaint showbiz notion that the show must go on,” USA Today quoted him as saying. “The Oscar exists because the academy founders believed movies were not just a business and people need to be reminded of this.”

The Grammy Awards received a waiver last week from the WGA, along with a promise not to picket, but such a waiver has not been bestowed upon the Oscars yet. Despite organizers’ determination to hold the ceremony, many actors have said they will not cross picket lines.
