The 91st Oscars Governors Ball will take place at the Ray Dolby Ballroom immediately following the Academy Awards on February 24. This year's theme is an homage to global cinema, featuring a presentation of iconic movie moments plus ballroom decor that evokes old movie-theater designs. A soundtrack of instrumental movie songs will accompany the film, aiming to create an "immersive movie-going experience," according to organizers.

Decor from Sequoia Productions, which celebrates its 30th consecutive year designing the ball, will use a saturated color palette of blacks, reds, and golds. Over 2,000 yards of wine-hued satin, textured gold, and champagne gold fabrics will be used in the ballroom, which will have a mix of cocktail tables, lounge areas, and other seating.

Textured gold vases and candles will add a sleek, upscale vibe to the ballroom.

Wolfgang Puck Catering will once again handle food, working with a culinary staff of 200. The famed chef and the company's vice president of culinary, Eric Klein, are creating more than 60 dishes for the event, ranging from one-bite hors-d'oeuvres to tray-passed entrées. New dishes for this year include Miyazaki Wagyu beef tartare on puffed black rice; crab-stuffed hibiscus; and taro root tacos with spiced eggplant.

For dessert, the Wolfgang Puck Catering pastry team—made up of Kamel Guechida, Garry Larduinat, and Jason Lemmonier—will also create a variety of new dishes, including a strawberry and cream dish that uses sustainable ruby chocolate.

This year marks Wolfgang Puck Catering's 25th consecutive year catering the Governors Ball.

Longtime collaborator Mark's Garden will create 400 distinct floral arrangements, incorporating 10,000 red tulips, burgundy roses, mauve orchids, and dark purple calla lilies.

“It’ll have that really lush, red velvet-type feel and opulent designs that [historic movie] theaters used to have,” said Mark's Garden designer Michael Uncapher in an interview earlier this week. “The Oscars were originally over at the Roosevelt Hotel, and then they moved over to the Chinese Theatre, which was a big inspiration for us: the lush velvet red seats, the gold moldings around the room.”

“The historic Los Angeles Theatre was also an inspiration,” added Uncapher. “We’ll have custom chandelier-type crystals on the candles that will give the feel of chandeliers—without going too literal.”

Piper-Heidsieck champagne will be served for the fifth year. The brand's limited-edition bottle has a red and gold label to tie into the theme. Francis Ford Coppola Winery and Tequila Don Julio will also be serving at the event; overall, an estimated 13,000 glasses will be used for beverages at this year's event.
