For the 32nd consecutive year, celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck is preparing the culinary experience for the Academy Awards' official afterparty, The Governors Ball. Puck confirmed that despite Hollywood's embrace of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, his kitchen will produce the same generous quantities of food, with any excess to be donated to Skid Row. The menu will include familiar favorites and new attractions, such as a dedicated sushi station featuring freshly made nigiri and hand rolls.
Puck also offered his predictions for the upcoming 98th Academy Awards, expected to air on March 15, 2026. He anticipates awards for Paul Thomas Anderson in the Best Director category and Sean Penn, despite Penn's previous wins. For Best Picture, Puck sees a close race between "One Battle After Another" and "Sinners." His team is also preparing special dishes, including Cut sliders and customized items like a Hong Kong-style steamed fish for Ang Lee, demonstrating their commitment to bespoke guest experiences.
