The Governor's Ball Preview

A preview of the food and décor for the Governors Ball was held in the Governors Ballroom of the Hollywood & Highland ® complex on February 1, 2007.

Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2006 will be presented on Sunday, February 25, 2007, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center ®, and televised live by the ABC Television Network at 5 p.m. PST (8 p.m. EST), beginning with a half-hour arrivals segment, "The Road to the Oscars."
