The Golden Globes is putting star power behind the plant-based movement by going meatless with its menu this year. In an effort to raise awareness about the environmental impact of food choices, AP reports, more than 1,300 guests will dine on an entirely plant-based menu at The Beverly Hilton hotel prior to the live telecast on Sunday.

“Over the holidays, we took time to reflect on the last year and began thinking about the new year and the decade ahead,” Lorenzo Soria, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), told the Los Angeles Times. “The climate crisis is impossible to ignore and after speaking with our peers, and friends in the community, we felt challenged to do better. The decision to serve an entirely plant-based meal was embraced by our partners at The Beverly Hilton, and represents a small step in response to a big problem.”

While the menu for the annual bash has been gluten-free for several years, this is the first time the Golden Globes (or any leading awards show) has served a wholly vegan offering. Instead of Chilean sea bass, the entrée of choice for the past several years, the main course will be king oyster mushroom “scallops” with wild mushroom risotto, carrots and roasted baby brussels sprouts, which will be preceded by a chilled golden beet soup and followed by a vegan opera dome.
