Beverly Hills, CA - Special events producer Cheryl Cecchetto has been chosen to produce the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Governors Ball for the 16th consecutive year. The gala event for Oscar winners and nominees will immediately follow the 77th Academy Awards® ceremony on Sunday, February 27, 2005.

"This year's Governors Ball will be like no other," said Cecchetto. "The objective is to transform the existing ballroom into a setting filled with nuance and grandeur."

Sequoia's list of upcoming events includes Australia Week 2005 for the Australian Consul General and the Tournament of Roses BCS National Championship Gala.

The Governors Ball will be held in the Governors Ballroom on the top level of the Hollywood & Highland® complex following the 77th Academy Awards®.
