Beverly Hills, CA - Master chef Wolfgang Puck has been selected, for the eleventh consecutive year, to create the cuisine for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' post-Oscar-show Governors Ball, the official party of the 77th Academy Awards®. Puck's company, Wolfgang Puck Catering, will prepare and serve his culinary creations at the Ball, where Oscar nominees, winners, presenters and performers celebrate after the Oscar telecast. "Wolfgang exceeds our expectations every year," said Governors Ball Co-Chair Sid Ganis. "His food is delicious and the presentation is impeccable; it's the perfect complement for a glamorous evening." Puck and his team of talented chefs will develop the multi-course, sit-down meal for the Academy's 1,600 guests. "This is Hollywood 's biggest night, so it's great to have the opportunity each year to create a menu that is new and exciting," said Puck. In addition to Puck's personal involvement, culinary artists from Wolfgang Puck Catering will be responsible for the cooking, presentation and service of the food. Puck's Oscar Night® team will include top chefs from many of his restaurants, who will work in the state-of-the-art kitchen in the Governors Ballroom at the Hollywood & Highland® complex. Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2004 will be presented on Sunday, February 27, 2005 , at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland® and televised live by the ABC Television Network at 5 p.m. PST , beginning with a half-hour arrival segment.
