Official Oscar Party Sneak Peek: Wolfgang Puck's Menu

Star chef and consummate showman, Wolfgang Puck dazzled the press at a recent Governors Ball sneak peek, by whipping up Black Truffle Macaroni and Cheese tableside.

After that, he took the audience on a culinary tour of an abundant buffet table that offered platters of sushi, Cosmo glasses of ceviche, sparkling Oscar-shaped desserts, and so much more! See a gallery of photos from the sneak peek in my blog, Partini! This exclusive press event was staged in order to offer a preview of the official Oscar Party.

Cheryl Cecchetto of Sequoia Productions, who has produced the Governors Ball for the last nineteen years, kicked off the press event by describing the inspiration for the Ball's color scheme of red and gold.

"You can't think of the Oscar's without the red carpet and gold statuette," said Cecchetto. With these iconic images in mind, the event design team created a look of elegance and contemporary glamour, and Puck created a show-stopping menu.

A Night To Remember The 80th Academy Awards Governors Ball will be a night to remember! As celebrities dine on Wolfgang Puck's gourmet cuisine, they'll sip Laurent-Perrier Champagne, Patron signature cocktails, and custom blends of Sterling Vineyards wine.

Celebrity florist and owner of MARK'S GARDEN, Mark Held has designed extraordinary centerpieces for the dining tables, which will be styled for nine diverse sections of the ballroom. Each section will have its own personality with unique tabletops, luxurious fabrics, and exquisite design details throughout the space.
