By Diana Cooper For Dailymail.Com,

Before the Oscars kicked off on Sunday and the biggest stars in Hollywood walked the red carpet, there was a ton of exclusive pre-Oscars events and parties that took place where stars were gifted thousands of dollars worth of free products and had the chance to socialize and let loose before the awards were announced.

DailyMail.com got an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at places where Chris Brown was seen partying and where Chris Rock dined before the Academy Awards.

Hours before Hollywood&#8217;s finest descended upon the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, California, a source told DailyMail.com that Chris Rock was having breakfast at the iconic Chateau Marmont where he dined with a group of male companions.

Chris, 60, made his first appearance at Vanity Fair&#8217;s Oscars Afterparty since the infamous Will Smith slap three years ago. He attended the star-studded event with his 20-year-old daughter, Zahra Savannah Rock, on Sunday night.

While the comedian was enjoying breakfast at the celeb hotspot &#8211; where a bagel and lox costs $30 &#8211; preparations were underway for the Netflix Oscars after party.

The Chateau Marmont is also where Jay-Z and Beyonce&#8217;s Oscars after party took place, which was attended by Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet.

On Saturday night, A-listers stayed out late partying at exclusive parties around Los Angeles before the big day. The Hills especially was popping as fans flocked to stand outside of gated mansions to get a glimpse of their favorite stars.

At Darren Dzienciol&#8217;s annual pre-Oscars Party presented by Utopia at the famous Sheats-Goldstein estate &#8211; which is estimated to be worth $75 million &#8211; celebrities like Chris Brown, Amber Rose, Bruno Mars, Landon Barker and Shaboozey made an appearance.

The elegant affair, which benefitted Global Empowerment Mission LA Wildfire Relief and was sponsored by El Cristiano tequila, featured a DJ set by Diplo.

While Amber showed up looking unrecognizable with long blonde hair, her rumored ex-fling Chris Brown was at a separate VIP table partying with a bevy of girls, an insider told DailyMail.com.

The insider noted that he was &#8216;getting touchy all night with one mystery woman in particular.&#8217;

&#8216;Chris was paying most attention to one woman who had curly black hair and appeared in her 20s. She was wearing a mini skirt and halter top.

&#8216;She put her hands on his face at one point as if she was going to lean in for a kiss, but he was careful not to be caught kissing anyone because there were photographers inside the party,&#8217; the insider dished.

&#8216;It was very obvious they were very into each other and were caught holding hands and smiling ear to ear.&#8217;
