Overall Concept

	Best Supporting Actress Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett arrives at the Governors Ball after the 77th Annual Academy Awards.

This year’s Governors Ball seeks to combine the opulence of old Hollywood with the contemporary motif of a modern-day dinner club. The room will reflect a vibrant palette of colors including sienna, persimmon, copper and brick, complimented with accents of jade. Tiered levels of seating framed by banister panels combined with an innovative ceiling treatment transform the ballroom’s physical space into a romantic, intimate setting. Golden hues of amber from tabletop lamps add to the atmosphere.

Layout
The layout consists of a combination of rectangular tables and low banquette seating. The stage is elevated to a balcony level on the south end of the ballroom where an expansive center aisle continues to give easy access from the north to south exteriors.

Ceiling
The ceiling is an arrangement of interwoven panels tiered from the perimeter to the center of the room, meeting at the focal point, the stage.

Wall Treatment
Fabric panels consisting of a combination of two-toned burgundy crushed satin and shimmer sheer brick organza act as a compliment to the décor elements throughout the room.

Floor Treatment

	Oprah Winfrey greets Best Actress Academy Award winner Hilary Swank at the Governors Ball after the 77th Annual Academy Awards.

The tiered floor will be softened by sisal carpet and hardwood aisles.

Table Setting
A fitted rust basecloth accents tables and is layered with geometric patterned runners placed horizontally. Dramatic rust red platters are preset, complimented by geometric china. The tabletop is further adorned with lamps and cymbidium orchids.

Exterior
There is an easy transition from the inside to the outside where zen gardens and seating vignettes are featured. All bars will be backed by floral paintings.

Entertainment
This year’s entertainment will include The Gregg Field Orchestra featuring Renee Olstead.
