Behind-The-Scenes Look At Hollywood's Biggest Post-Oscar Bash

Hollywood is taking inspiration from history for this year's Governors Ball. Art Nouveau is the muse and curves and comfort food are the themes of the annual post-Oscar bash, to be held later tonight.
The look for the night is "Streamline Moderne" with designs inspired by the 1930s, featuring soft architectural curves, says the event's producer Cheryl Cecchetto, who worked with Governors Ball Chair Jeffrey Kurland to complete the vision for the evening.
"Art Deco doesn't speak to me because it ends, it turns, it's harsh, but Streamline Moderne always did. So I went back to the 30s and I did my homework and I thought, 'Oh my God, wouldn't it be great to incorporate nothing but curves in a ball room,'" said Cecchetto.
The designers took their inspiration from iconic designer Dorothy Draper and architect Paul Williams to create sparkling fiber optic chandeliers and a dramatic grand spiral staircase.
Cecchetto, a seasoned producer, says planning for such an extravagant occasion starts well in advance of the big night.
"Before we do the Emmy's, I'm getting on my way with the Oscars. I can't wait. The only reason we do our job so well is because we do our homework and we get it done," Cecchetto explained.

Fitting to this weekend's weather, she and Kurland chose a "moody" color palette of muted amethysts and coppers for the servers' uniforms, tablecloths and drapery.
"He loved the coppers, I loved the amethysts, we both described the colors as being moody and very sexy, and so we put our colors together and ended up with a palette of coppers and mattes and amethysts and fabulous accents," said Cecchetto.
More than 1,500 guests will be served this year at the black-tie event held at the Kodak Theater following the Academy Awards. Winners will celebrate with 1,200 bottles of Moet and Chandon champagne while dining on "elegant comfort food" provided by Master Chef Wolfgang Puck, who's been in charge of the menu for 16 consecutive years.
"We not only want to have something which is comfortable and relaxing and that makes them feel good, but I don't want it to be an uptight party. I want it to be a fun party," said Puck.
The menu includes long-time favorites like house smoked salmon and miniature gold-dusted chocolate Oscar statuettes, as well as new items, like chicken pot pie with black truffles, wasabi pea-crusted crab cakes and Baked Alaska with espresso glace.

"People would get upset if they wouldn't get their chocolate Oscars. There would be a revolution in here," said Puck.
This year they will be providing boxes for guests to take home the chocolate statuettes instead of them having to leave with tell-tale gold dust covering their pockets.
Another bonus for Oscar recipients this year: for the first time in the ball's history, they will be able to take home their personalized statue that night, rather than waiting weeks for it to be engraved with their name. It's a small change, but it will provide winners with the evening's most sought-after party accessory.
After producing this event for 21 consecutive years, Cecchetto prides herself on her creativity and preparation. According to her, the biggest challenge for this year is the only one she can't control... "Rain."
