The Oscars were first presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences in 1929. The Oscar presentation will be televised live in more than 200 countries worldwide today. Although the main awards are interesting enough to watch, as a foodie I am more interested in what the stars are eating.

Wolfgang Puck Catering will be serving the Academy's 1,500 Governor's Ball guests, which will include Oscar winners, nominees, presenters and telecast participants for the 14th consecutive year. Puck states, "The Governors Ball is a singular event, and the food must be of equal caliber. Our menu will feature locally grown, sustainable and organic ingredients, providing guests with a culinary experience that will please even the most discerning of palates...with refined simplicity" .
