Governors Ball 2014
The Governors Ball Is the First Stop on the Oscars Afterparty Train
After the Academy Awards, Wolfgang Puck cooks up a meal for hungry movie-industry insiders at the year's most A-list party: the Governors Ball! The night's winners, nominees, presenters, and performers mingled at the annual affair, with the lucky ones clinging to their golden statues. Whether they gave an acceptance speech or not, we're sure a glass of celebratory Champagne was welcomed! This year, the 1,500 guests at the Ray Dolby Ballroom enjoyed a performance by John Legend, 50 dishes prepared by the celebrity chef, and decorations inspired by the theme "transcendent wonder of nature." It's the traditional, must-stop afterparty of award season, with guests Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Portia de Rossi, and the night's host, Ellen DeGeneres, stopping by. Take a look inside.
