And the official bubbles of the 83rd annual Academy Awards® is … Moët & Chandon Champagne.
After the Red Carpet is walked and the awards are given out, the celebrating begins. The official party as always is the Governor’s Ball, produced by Cheryl Cecchetto/Sequoia Productions and menu created by Wolfgang Puck with Chef Partner Matt Bencivenga & Executive Pastry Chef Sherry Yard.
This year’s theme will blend the Hollywood music of the ’30s, ’40s and ’50s with the inspired décor of such eclectic clubs as the Rainbow Room and the El Mocambo.
Reception stations of sushi and shellfish will be laid out while hors deouvres like Mini Kobe Cheeseburger with Remoulade and Aged Cheddar and Taro Root Taco with Smoked Lobster, Avocado and Pickled Jalapeno are passed. Dinner is a Trio of Wolfgang’s Signature Salads; entrée of Pan Roasted Dover Sole with Fennel, Olives, Haricot Vert, Tomatoes, Lemon, Sherry, and Olive Oil; followed by dessert of Sherry’s Sweet Bouquet Layers of Lemon Cheesecake, Raspberry Cremieux, Cassis Gelee, Valrhona Ivoire and 24 Karat Chocolate Oscar® (there are 4,000 of them!).
1,200 bottles of Moët & Chandon Champagne will be on hand. Pop open your own bottle and whip up one of Moët & Chandon’s champagne cocktails, Moët’s Silver Screen Punch or The Moët Starlet. Find the cocktail recipes and other fun tools (like Oscar Ballots and Oscar Bingo) for your Oscar Party on Oscar’s official website.
Cheers!
