The Oscars are going Vegan, sort of!
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced on Monday that it will be offering entirely plant-based menus at today’s Oscar Nominees Luncheon and then in the Dolby Theatre lobbies prior to the 92nd Academy Awards on Feb. 9.
The post-ceremony Governors Ball will be 70% plant-based, and 30% vegetarian, fish, and meat. All food will be responsibly sourced and sustainably farmed.
“The Academy is an organization of storytellers from around the world, and we owe our global membership a commitment to supporting the planet,” the org said in a statement. “For the past decade, the Academy has been committed to reducing its carbon footprint. For the past seven years, the Oscars show has had a zero-carbon imprint. We continue to expand our sustainability plan with the ultimate goal of becoming carbon neutral.”
The Academy’s menu originally featured a Chilean sea bass dish but was changed to king oyster mushroom “scallops” with wild mushroom risotto and vegetables.
