Sequence

-30:00 Room open

Hold on the ceremony slate while ballroom doors open and captioning confirms.

-05:00 Five-minute call

Shift to countdown language and tighten the room toward seated attention.

00:00 Show open

Fade the loop, take the ceremony open, and hand the room to stage.

Room intent

Built for room-open projection, stage confidence, and lobby relay screens.

The cue path should move cleanly from branded hold into countdown and ceremony open.

Language stays formal, restrained, and distinctly NAD rather than generic awards-show style.
