Oscars 2019 Food Menu: Nashville Hot Fried Quail to Chocolate Oscar Statuettes, Here’s What Wolfgang Puck Will Be Serving at 91st Academy Awards Governors Ball

The 91st Academy Awards, commonly called Oscars 2019 will be presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) on February 24 (Monday morning in India). In a matter of few hours, winners in 24 categories will be declared. While winning and losing remains part and parcel of the event, no body leaves the event without a big smile thanks to Governors Ball, the official Oscars After Party. And making the post-Oscars celebration a grand success is legendary American-Austrian chef Wolfgang Puck and his famous catering team. For the 25th consecutive year, the 69-year-old master chef will set the stage for Hollywood’s biggest night with a menu pairing glamour with innovation. Hint: It includes Nashville-style hot fried quail on a red velvet waffle and the famous chocolate Oscar statuettes covered in 24 karat gold! Oscars 2019 Live Streaming Online in IST: Watch Live Telecast of 91st Academy Awards Red Carpet 5.30 AM Onwards and Main Ceremony 6.30 AM In India.
