Movie fans you know Mikey Madison right? She just snagged an Oscar and everyone is talking about her performance in Anora. But did you know she has a twin brother? Yep it's true and their birth story is actually pretty funny. Plus we have got some insider info on how her whole family celebrated her big win at the Vanity Fair Oscars party . Get ready for some fun facts and heartwarming family vibes.
Born Together Plucked Out Simultaneously: Mikey Madison and Twin Brother Miles Share a Unique Birth Story
Let's start with the basics. Mikey Madison has a twin brother named Miles. And according to Miles himself they were basically "born at the same time." How is that even possible? Well here's the family legend. Apparently Mikey and Miles were born via Cesarean section. To prevent the age-old twin sibling argument of "who is older?" the doctors made sure they were "plucked out" of there simultaneously. Talk about efficiency!
Did it work to stop the Sibling rivalry over age? Maybe not entirely. Miles winks and says that on his birth certificate he is listed as being born one minute before Mikey. So technically he has got bragging rights by a whole 60 seconds. Either way it is a pretty funny and unique story about how these twins entered the world together.
Family First: Madisons Rally Around Mikey at Vanity Fair Oscars Party Creating a "Luxurious Sunken Sofa Pit" of Support
The Madison family is clearly super proud of Mikey and her Oscar win. And they showed up in force to celebrate with her at the Vanity Fair Oscars party. It sounds like they are also incredibly protective of her which is really sweet to see. They were giving her space to just breathe and soak in everything that happened on Oscar night. Winning an Oscar is kind of a big deal after all especially at just 25 years old (almost 26 as her birthday is in March!).
The whole Madison crew including Miles were spotted at the Vanity Fair party chilling in what was described as a "Luxurious Sunken Sofa Pit". Apparently it was like a family and friend zone for Mikey and her "Anora entourage." Director Sean Baker and some of the other creatives from the film were there too creating a real sense of team spirit and celebration.
One observer noted that this group of people seemed "the Least pretentious people I’ve seen all awards season." They are independent film folks who made Anora on a budget. They are not about the usual Hollywood glitz and glamour but more about genuine support and celebrating Mikey's talent and success together. Love that.
Colman Domingo's Ingenue Admiration and Pushback Against "Hollywood Starlet" Label for Mikey Madison
Colman Domingo another talented actor who was at the Vanity Fair party made a beeline straight for Mikey when he saw her. They shared a warm embrace. Apparently these two have developed a real bond during awards season. Domingo even said "Everyone loves an ingenue. Helps if they’re as gifted and as grounded as Mikey is. She’s blessed." It sounds like he is genuinely impressed by her talent and down-to-earth personality.
Someone at the party however referred to Mikey as a "bit of a Hollywood starlet." This did not sit well with some who felt that label was kind of misogynistic and dismissive. The term "starlet" can sometimes suggest someone is not serious or just in it for fame and attention. And Mikey Madison is definitely not that.
She is described as shy savvy smart and sassy. She is focused on working with great directors and choosing projects carefully. She is taking her time to process all the attention and figure out her next steps. She has got a solid team around her at UTA to guide her career. Mikey Madison is not some flash in the pan "starlet" she is a gifted actress with a bright future and she is doing things her own way.
Vanity Fair Party Buzz: Star Sightings and Oscar Aftermath Fun
The Vanity Fair Oscar party was clearly the place to be. Besides Mikey and her crew Andrew Garfield was one of the first faces spotted arriving. Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner were there too. Apparently Timothée even changed out of his Oscars suit into something else maybe because it clashed with the gold carpet at Vanity Fair. Priorities people!
Oscar winner Cord Jefferson who won for American Fiction is already working on a new screenplay a contemporary Western. Sterling K. Brown who was nominated for American Fiction was also at the party reminding Jefferson about his phone number probably hoping for a role in the new project. Busy busy!
Aaron Pierre from the upcoming Lanterns series for HBO Max-DC Studios was also spotted. He revealed he and Kyle Chandler are both playing Green Lanterns in the show. Lots of exciting projects and people mingling at this party.
Karla Sofía Gascón Endures Unforgivable Hate at Governors Ball: A Stark Reminder of Real World Issues
While the Vanity Fair party sounded like a blast there was a less pleasant moment described from the Governors Ball the official Oscars after-party. Best Actress nominee Karla Sofía Gascón from Emilia Pérez experienced a truly hateful incident. Apparently a guest at the Governors Ball a Black man made a "disgusting" comment directed at Karla. It was described as a "hate jibe."
This incident is a sobering reminder that even in the midst of glamorous Hollywood celebrations real world prejudice and hate still exist. It is a stark contrast to the generally positive and celebratory tone of the Oscars events and highlights the ongoing challenges faced by marginalized communities even in seemingly progressive spaces.
