Longtime collaborator Billy Butchkavitz worked with HBO's Cindy Tenner to design a look in the Circa 55 restaurant and adjoining pool area that took its inspiration from the patterns on the stone mosaic walkways of Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana beach.

Large-scale animated projections by Bart Kresa punctuated the perimeter of the event space, and an elevated, multilevel lounge over the pool allowed guests to dine, dance, and score a great view.

Given rainy Globes nights in recent years, this year Best Events built tents into the overall look of the affair so that nothing would look like an afterthought or contingency. The party space consisted of two large tents, with 10,000 square feet of subfloor to cover the majority of the parking lot.

House of An catered the Weinsteins’ viewing party for 200—but lest they feel hungry, after-party guests were fed, as well, by way of SBE Catering and restaurants (Katsuya, the Bazaar, Cleo, and Mercato di Vetro).

Decor was an eclectic mix of vintage finds, mid-century modern, and retro furniture to create a residential feel. Large strips of chocolate brown and blue decked the carpeting, and overhead fabric panels streaked across the tents for a dropped-ceiling effect.

Outdoor tenting that bore black-and-white, Hollywood Regency-style detailing housed seating groups—mostly empty on the cold night.

Brownie Brittle served as dessert and Fat Burger (pictured) provided late-night bites.

A 12-foot custom bar and back bar for the party's exclusive liquor DeLeon comprised 2,400 of the brand’s gold-plated corks arranged to form a “D” logo.

Sponsor Chrysler paraded its green line of cars through its Fiat brand, and Hilton showed off its Teacher Trek program, which allows educators to use donated points to travel the world and write back to their students about their experiences abroad. To promote this, the red carpet had a whiteboard for celebrities to sign; it will be auctioned off with proceeds benefiting the program.

Musical guests included Mariachi el Bronx during cocktail hour and performances by Josh Radin and Chad Gendason during dinner.
