With the 69th Annual Golden Globes ceremony only ten days away, preparations at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in the heart of Beverly Hills have already started. Yesterday, the International Ballroom opened its backstage doors and numerous - mostly locally hired - crews will start its transformation into one of the most glamorous venues Hollywood has ever seen.

It has taken six months of meticulous planning for the chefs at the Beverly Hilton Hotel to prepare for the Golden Globe ceremony on January 15.   Executive chefs Suki Sugiura and pastry chef Thomas Henzi have created an elegant and mouth-watering  menu reflecting the global nature of the Golden Globes and it will take a team of 40 chefs and 110 kitchen staff members to prepare it on show day.

  More than 1,000 mini bottles and 500 magnums of Grand Vintage 2002 Moet & Chandon champagne ----more than 9,000 glasses----will be served on the red carpet and inside the ballroom at this year;s glittering Golden Globes awards ceremony on January 15. For 21 years Moet & Chandon has provided the champagne for the 1,500 guests and this year will be celebrating its anniversary with its specially-created, award-winning 2002 Grand Vintage.
