As part of its sustainability efforts, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association will be serving a plant-based meal at the Golden Globes on Jan. 5, making it likely the first major awards show to go all-vegan. The menu is a last-minute change from a menu previewed in December that included fish.
"We had the menu with fish. Then we got together with the HFPA and they wanted to make this change to send a good message. It’s definitely the first Golden Globes that has gone vegan," says Beverly Hilton executive chef and sustainability champion Matthew Morgan, who got a call from the HFPA just a few days before Christmas with news of the planned switch. Morgan’s vegan dessert “is a take on an opera cake.
The HFPA is also planning to reuse this year’s new red carpet at other events and, to reduce plastic waste, has a partnership with Icelandic Glacial to serve water in glass bottles . "The climate crisis is surrounding us and we were thinking about the new year and the new decade. So we started talking between us about what we can do to send a signal," says HFPA president Lorenzo Soria, who did a last-minute tasting on Dec. 30.
The proof, though, will be in the flavors. Morgan says he was a bit daunted creating a risotto “without Parmesan” cheese for Soria. “He’s Italian. So he was a little bit skeptical that we could pull it off.”A version of this story first appeared in the Jan. 8 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. To receive the magazine,
