Vanessa Hudgens coolly strolled past her ex Austin Butler outside the Vanity Fair Oscars party on March 11, 2023, though the tall actor did not appear to notice her. They also avoided an encounter on the champagne carpet where the actress hosted ABC's pre-show.

A Twitter user hailed Vanessa Hudgens as the biggest Oscars winner, "She got to watch her ex Austin Butler/his movie lose 8 Oscars. Congratulations, sweetie, you deserve it." He lost out to Brendan Fraser for best actor. A fan crowned the actress "mother" for ignoring her former beau.

The anti-Butler sentiment comes from the "Elvis" actor's claim on multiple platforms that "a friend" urged him to peruse The King's biopic when it was his then longtime girlfriend, Hudgens. A fan tweeted that the actress is going home with a ring on her finger and Butler is empty-handed with "his fake accent."
