The Stars of Vulture Festival 2024

This past weekend’s Vulture Festival in Los Angeles featured 23 star-studded, often silly, and always exciting events on the lot at nya Studios in Hollywood. A Master of Culture honorary degree was awarded to Mike Myers, and the inaugural Roomy Award (recognizing excellence in TV writing) was conferred upon Abbott Elementary creator Quinta Brunson and the rest of the show’s writers. The Skeleton Twins’s Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig were reunited, Katt Williams did more truth-telling, and Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie closed out the festival by leading a sold-out crowd in a rendition of their hit opera, “Sanasa.” All the while, photographer Sinna Nasseri was onsite capturing the action.
