The three nominees for the men's award - Messi, Ronaldo and Neuer - as well as the three nominees for the women's award - Nadine Kessler, Marta and Addy Wambach - have been introduced.
They will be back later on so we can see exactly who claims those two coveted prizes.
Ronaldo shed tears of joy last year when picking up the Ballon d'Or.
Currently, a video is being played showing highlights from last year's ceremony - before the action gets underway.
Will there be dry eyes from Ronaldo tonight if he picks up his third award?
Ronaldo is the favourite to pick up the top prize tonight - and he has now returned to the ceremony clad in his finest suit.
The Real Madrid forward has enjoyed a phenomenal last 24 months and capped off last season by lifting the UEFA Champions League.
Would you really bet against him claiming the victory tonight?
The famous faces are flooding into the awards ceremony in Zurich as they walk along the red carpet.
Thierry Henry, Toni Kroos, as well as Sergio Ramos and his glamorous girlfriend are among the stars arriving on the red carpet.
Unfortunately FIFA president Sepp Blatter has just got there too - I suppose he does need to be there after all...
