Chef Wolfgang Puck has been selected by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to create the menu for the Governors Ball for the 16th consecutive year. The Governors Ball is a celebration immediately following the 82nd Academy Awards presentation on Sunday, March 7, 2010. The Governors Ball's 1,500 guests include winners, nominees, presenters and telecast participants.
"The Governors Ball is a celebration of artistry and achieving your dreams," said Puck. "Our art is on the plate for everyone to savor and enjoy. We cast star-quality ingredients and keep the focus on flavor."
The menu created by Puck and chefs Lee Hefter and Matt Bencivenga includes a new twist on a classic entree, signature dishes such as smoked salmon Oscars, and the chef's garden spring vegetable salad as well as pastry chef Sherry Yard's gold-dusted chocolate Oscars.
