Yes, all eyes will be on the stars at Sunday’s Oscar ceremony, but one woman you never see is responsible for the backdrop of glitz and glamour that surrounds the big names. Cheryl Cecchetto is a longtime events producer of some of Hollywood’s biggest galas, including this weekend’s post-Oscars Governors Ball. In fact, she’s organized the Governors Ball for 25 years straight.
The themed décor for the Oscars Governors Ball 2019—where we hope Glenn Close will be celebrating her win—is called “Filmscape.” “The focus is entirely on the magic and community of great movies,” Cecchetto, founder and president of Sequoia Productions, explained. “We designed the color scheme around the classic movie palaces—the opulent deep red of proscenium curtains and seats, the gold of the wall and ceiling and accent details of movie houses of the golden era, and the carpet in deep red and cream is configured into a retro arrow converging into a star, reminiscent of movie palace lobby carpets.”
