Tonight is the big night… the 82nd Academy Awards®. After the Red Carpet walks and hours of awards, the parties begin!  The official party is the Governors Ball, immediately following the Awards, in the Grand Ballroom on the top of the Hollywood & Highland Center.
For the 16th consecutive year, chef Wolfgang Puck has designed the menu for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences official Academy Awards after party. Special events producer Cheryl Cecchetto, for the 21st consecutive year, is producing it along with her Sequoia Productions.
“The Governors Ball will fuse eclectic and innovative design elements reminiscent of the late 1930s ‘Streamline Moderne’ style. The overall look will marry artistic originality with the Academy’s own tradition of class and elegance,” said Cecchetto.
