A Peek Inside the 65th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards Governors Ball

If you don’t have a ticket to television’s most important evening of the year, don’t worry! You can still feel like you’re part of the action, as Haute Living had a sneak peek inside the 65th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards’ most VIP event: its annual Governors Ball.

For this year’s fête, the West Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center will be transformed into a magical Enchanted Forest, with huge stylized trees and an expansive canopy of foliage extending out over 20,000 feet.

Nearly 7,000 guests (the combined amount of attendees from both the Creative Arts Ball on Sept. 5 and the Governors Ball on Sept. 22) including nominees Bryan Cranston, Kerry Washington, Jon Hamm, Matt Damon and Claire Danes will be treated to nature-themed atmospheric performers, performances by Australian pop star Jessica Mauboy, the Red Hot Band and Bella Electric Strings, as well as a 60-foot-wide elevated circular dance floor and an orchestra.

Patina Catering will provide the menu of a little gem lettuce salad, basil scented mozzarella, beef filet mignon and short ribs and devil’s food cake.

Beaulieu Vineyard will provide the wines for the evening’s 3,800 guests, while Grey Goose has created a special Emmy cocktail using its new cherry noir flavor.

Audi, L’Oreal Paris and Marich chocolates are all acting sponsors for this year’s prime event.
