Wolfgang Puck and the Governors Ball

Wolfgang Puck

Not only are Christoph Waltz – Best Supporting Actor, Sandra Bullock – Best Actress, The White Ribbon – Best Foreign Language Film and Christian Berger – Cinematography, nominated, but every year the originally Carinthian (a Southern Region of Austria) master chef Wolfgang Puck is a staple of this celebration.

For the 16th consecutive year, master chef Wolfgang Puck has been selected by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to create the menu for the Governors Ball, the celebration immediately following the 82nd Academy Awards® presentation on Sunday, March 7, 2010.

“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.”

And since the charming master chef can’t possible cook everything himself and oversee the 250 culinary staff, out of 900 total staff members for the 1500 Governors Ball guests, handle the 10.000 Pieces of Cutlery or 1200 Bottles of Moet&Chandon Champagne and all the fresh made food, so he also invited selected chefs from his old native country, but let him speak for himself:
