First look at the after party for Oscar
0 
The Governors Ball is an exclusive party that takes place right after the Oscar broadcast. On Tuesday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts took the media in the ballroom atop the Hollywood and Highland Center in Hollywood for a sneak preview.
The Governor's Ball is the star-studded dinner celebration that follows the Oscars every year.
This year, the upscale dinner party will have a 1930s look.
Cheryl Cecchetto, producer of Governors Ball, said, " We used inspiration from Paul Williams, and from Dorothy Draper, and from Earl Carroll, to create what we think is a modern version 1930s club, and it really lends itself to a "streamlined moderne", really design."
The party will be a little more special than usual for the winners -- Oscar recipients will be able to leave the party with their nameplates attached to their statuettes.
Jeffrey Kurland, chair from Governors Ball, said, "For the first time, you'll be able to bring your statuette to the Governors Ball. There will be a section, part of the ball, that you go to, and within two minutes, a plate with your name on it will be affixed to your Oscar for all time, and you'll never have to let it go again. It'll go home with you, and stay there forever."
Chef Wolfgang Puck's team marks its 16th year creating the menu for the ball.
The chef created imaginative Oscar-shaped salmon on crackers, and for dessert.
What keeps Puck coming back?
Wolfgang Puck, chef, said, "I think the Oscars, next to the Super Bowl, is the greatest event in America. And I think, to be and to Los Angeles, it is the best event, and the most important event. So I think we are always very excited to do the Oscars and do the official dinner."
This year the waiters, waitresses and an all-female orchestra will wear specially-designed costumes reflecting the theme of the ball.
The 82nd Annual Academy Awards will be held March 7th in Hollywood.
