The 20,000-square-foot International Ballroom at the Beverly Hilton is the site of the Golden Globe Awards as well as the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon. The Hilton is not only the venue for the 63rd annual Golden Globes, which get under way in the International Ballroom with cocktails at 2:30 p. But gloriously gaudy as the show is, much of its dramatic appeal comes from its 44-member ensemble, plucked from the top ranks of international ballroom dancers. |
