THR: Among all the Oscar parties | Featured Photos
The event was held in a cavernous tent a few miles away from where the actual awards occurred . Huge screens adorned the place as partygoers watched the Oscar action.
" If Pharrell Williams does not win best song, then I'm ( expletive ) going home early," John shouted to the crowd after Williams performed his nominated song " Happy" (Williams did not win, but luckily for the public the award was presented at the end of the ceremony , so debatable threat of John) .
The crowd laughed and cried when DeGeneres host several winners took the stage (and let out a loud groan as a brief technical glitch eliminated transmission for a few minutes ) .
But the night was made more interesting when the transmission ended and the party went into full swing. First there was an auction of key articles, Neil Patrick Harris offered jokingly to the highest bidder ( and still a little more than that) to an article that provides tickets for his next Broadway show, " Hedwig and the Angry Inch " .
Not to be outdone , Steven Tyler told some dirty jokes of his own as he helped auction five nights on their trip to Hawaii, which raised $ 100,000.
Elton John also got in on the act of the auction, taking requests crowds and playing some of his hits on a piano that was auctioned for $ 220,000.
It seemed as if the brief instrumental performance would be the only John in the evening. Later, he joined the interpreter evening, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, an interpretation of classic John "Candle in the Wind" .
