What's Cooking at the 2024 Oscars? Peek Inside the Governors Ball Menu

Hold onto your seats and, more importantly, your appetites because the 2024 Oscars Governors Ball is gearing up to be a foodie’s dream come true. Picture this: after hours of heartfelt speeches and surprise wins, Hollywood’s finest, including big names like Martin Scorsese, Margot Robbie, Robert Downey Jr., Bradley Cooper, and Emma Stone, will be heading straight to the most glamorous munch fest of the year, all masterminded by the legendary Wolfgang Puck and his army of 120 chefs.

This year marks Puck’s 30th anniversary of dazzling the A-list crowd with his culinary wizardry, and boy, does he plan to celebrate in style. The menu? A jaw-dropping spread that spans the globe, from the finest Iberian ham from Cinco Jotas – because, according to Puck, “Nobody makes ham like the Spanish” – to a whopping 90 kilos of smoked salmon, chicken, beef, and sea bass.

But wait, there’s more. The canapé game is strong this year, featuring everything from spicy tuna tartare to those cute little miniature wagyu burgers and assorted pizzas. And for those craving something more, Puck’s small plates promise to keep the intrigue high with dishes like refined macaroni and cheese and grilled sea bass.

The Governors Ball is transforming into a culinary theme park with five special stations, including a Fish and Chips corner, a Crispy Rice Bar, and, for the grand finale, a Mezze Grazing Table and Paella Bar that’s sure to be the talk of Tinseltown. And because no feast is complete without dessert, prepare to be wowed by 37 different creations, from Gran Marnier chocolate cigars to those adorable mini-Oscars statuettes made of chocolate.
