What Will Celebs Dine on After the Emmys? Check Out this Year's Spectacular Governors Ball Menu

Emmys after party

Here's the thing about the Emmy Awards: People get really hungry during the broadcast. But who can let a celebrity starve? No one! That's what the Governors Ball is for—it's the official after-party and it's full of food. This year, the event will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center, which is located right next to where the actual Emmys takes place at the Microsoft Theatre, so stars will walk right across the street to get some grub after Andy Samberg finishes his closing bit on stage. The size of the space is the length of one football field and will seat 4,000 guests.
