You need a fun opening.
Late-night hosts have often opened with a monologue. That's fine, as long as it's really funny, but otherwise, take a cue from Jimmy Fallon when he hosted the Emmys a few years ago: big silly musical number with lots of self-deprecating jokes.
Step No. 3: Amp up the musicSeriously Sparkles, where did you get the soundtrack for your event? Your retired, polka-loving neighbor’s garage sale? I don’t care how old your audience is, no one really likes the music you have been piping in. Go current, go eclectic and go mainstream. You only need three elements for music at an awards event – Walk In, Dinner and Winner Walk Away — so make it count. The genre could be house, country or rock music, just make it interesting and worthy of a winner. You do not want the ambiance in the room to smack of singles night at the old folks home, even if your event is at the old folks home. Use drum rolls. Dress fancy. Funny running Joke that goes through the whole event. Cue cards.
