Wolfgang Puck - 86th Oscars Governors Ball Press Preview #Oscars
We previously reported on the Press Preview for the Governors Ball but wanted to update this post with a photo from the Governors Ball with the 1,500 guests who attended after the 86th Academy Awards Ceremony. Here it is! Lovely, don’t you think? A night under the stars… Scroll down to see more.
Mingle Media TV and Red Carpet Report host Tamara Krinsky were invited to cover the preview of the food and décor of the 86th Oscars® Governors Ball, which is the Academy’s official post-Oscar® celebration immediately following the Oscars ceremony on Sunday, March 2.
At the event, the press got to watch as Cheryl Cecchetto unveiled the décor for the ball along with the floral theme unveiled by Mark Garden. Of course, the Governors Ball Press Preview would not be complete without seeing, talking to and tasting Wolfgang Puck and his team of chefs menu samples. Also on hand were Sterling Vineyards with their reserve selection of wines and Champagne Thiénot with the exclusive champagne for the ball. Johnnie Walker, Baileys and Cîroc as revealed their featured cocktails and recipes to share with our audience in hopes of inspiring hostesses for Oscar Sunday.
We also got to see this year’s “envelope” as Marc Friedland unveiled the design of the envelopes and announcement cards bearing the names of Oscar winners – don’t worry, we didn’t see anyone’s name… we all have to wait until March 2nd, Oscar Sunday!
Video Interviews from Event
