You know that I had the team in LA for the grand reveal of the themes and menus. Curious? I thought you might be. I know I surely was.
For 25 years, Moet champagne has sparkled and played host as the official champagne to the stars at the BH Hilton. This year's theme has a play and pays tribute to The Wizard of Oz. Their signature cocktail plays right into that.The Moet Ruby Red cocktail will be a modern take on a French 75.
For the dinner (which I always say why the hell are they serving anything besides tic tacs, air and vodka and champagne because NO-ONE eats! I mean NO ONE!!!) However I suppose it's an aesthetic they are going for. Now to be clear, everyone eats at the after parties. Just not during the actual awards show as it is nerve wracking awaiting the winners to be announced so no one wants to get sick. Another reason is that these gowns are often borrowed and the actors are PETRIFIED to get anything on them that might stain.)
Appetizer Salad- will feature more veggies than lettuce.
The Entrées- will include filet of beef with marinara crust
and slow-roasted black garlic steelhead trout with spaghetti squash.
There will also be a vegetarian option: salt-baked heirloom sweet potatoes with creamed corn glaze.
Dessert- Executive pastry chef Thomas Henzi's dessert will be a
trio of confections with golden details. The sweets include a lemon mousseline
croquantine, California almond cake, and a carmella, a flourless treat made
with Grand Marnier.
Flowers- It's a wall of flowers that is being designed. Garden flowers are actually big this year. They will be flying in over 10,000 of them!
Table Decor- Linens with shimmer and a hint of metallic will
complement the platinum and gold elements in the stage decor.
The stars and the ballroom will shine this Sunday. Of course the Lawson Roberts team will be live tweeting. Make sure that you follow us at www.twitter.com/lawsonroberts.
For all things entertaining style, follow me,
your entertaining expert. Style,
sophistication, and fantastic fun.
