		</div><p>The Golden Globes, known as the “party of the year”, is going with a meatless menu for its 77th annual awards show.</p>
<p>Guests will be served a 100% plant-based meal just ahead of showtime on Sunday.</p>
<p>The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) said it wants the initiative to raise environmental awareness about food consumption and waste.</p>
<p><em>“If there’s a way we can, not change the world, but save the planet, maybe we can get the Golden Globes to send a signal and draw attention to the issue about climate change,”</em> HFPA president Lorenzo Soria said.</p>

<p>The annual awards ceremony will be held at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.</p>
<p>Mr Soria said there was some initial pushback about changing the menu just about two weeks before the show, but the hotel eventually agreed on the new menu.</p>
<p><em>“People were basically saying it’s too late, we’re ready with all the orders, the holidays and all that,”</em> he said.</p>
<p><em>“But after we began discussions, meeting for one or two days, (the hotel) accepted the change completely.</em></p>
<p><em>“They started to experiment with how to do plant-based meals that was not just their symbolic steps, but also something that guests will enjoy.”</em></p>
<p>Matthew Morgan, executive chef at The Beverly Hilton, called the menu change initially surprising.</p>
<p>But he ultimately understood it would send a positive message.</p>
<p><em>“It was a little shocking when first mentioned, because of being very close to the actual Globes and having already decided on a menu,”</em> he said.</p>
<p><em>“But once we thought about it and the message that it sent, we were really excited about it. That’s something I stand behind myself.”</em></p>
<p>Items on the main entree include king oyster mushrooms scallops and wild mushroom risotto, along with roasted baby purple and green Brussels sprouts and carrots.</p>
<p>A chilled golden beet soup will be served as an appetiser.</p>
<p>HFPA partnered with Icelandic Glacial, a naturally alkaline and sustainably sourced natural spring water.</p>
<p>The water will be served in glass bottles to eliminate plastic waste in the ballroom and red carpet, which is reused at other events throughout the year.</p>
<p>Mr Soria called the food “excellent” after a recent taste-testing.</p>
<p>Mr Morgan said making the change was not too difficult.</p>
<p>He said the first course was already vegan and the main course was a vegan alternate in which they enhanced the dish to add some “pop and colour to the plate”.</p>
