The stars will be dining extravagantly at the Academy Awards Governors Ball, the posh after party of the Oscars.
We got a taste of what Hollywood elite will be munching on once the final award is given out – and it’s lavish.
Tray-passed smoked salmon in the shape of an Oscar, topped with caviar, crab and lobster Louie with horseradish panna cotta and marinated tomatoes and Chinois lamb with cilantro mint vinaigrette are just a few of the scrumptious dishes being served. And, of course, the champagne will be flowing.
Each winner can have their statue engraved right there at the Governors Ball – and there will be no shortage of entertainment provided by Gregg Field and his band.
What does it take to pull this off for the 1500 guests? A staff of 950, 350 culinary experts, 12,000 beverage glasses, 4,000 small plates, 6,000 cocktail forks, 4,500 demitasse spoons and 1,000 bottles of Moet & Chandon Champagne are just a small amount of the elements that contribute to this type of a glam evening.
And nothing will go to waste, according to Chef Wolfgang Puck, who created the menu for the evening. The chef tells us in the video below that the leftovers will be packed up for Angel Harvest, a company that is dedicated to distributing food from catered events to the needy in and around the community.
The Governors Ball begins directly after the 84th Academy Awards ceremony, which airs on ABC, Sunday, February 26th, live from the Kodak Theatre.
