New York-area members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences celebrated the 82nd Academy Awards® at GILT at The New York Palace hotel. Since 1990, the Academy has hosted a New York Oscar celebration for its East Coast members, many of whom are previous Academy Award® winners and nominees. New York’s Oscar party was open to all Academy members who reside on the East Coast or who were visiting New York City at that time. The evening’s festivities began with a reception in the GILT Bar, renowned for its selection of signature cocktails. Following the reception, the invited guests adjourned to the restaurant for a multi-course Oscar-themed dinner and live viewing of the 82nd Academy Awards telecast. Executive Chef Justin Bogle and Executive Pastry Chef David Carmichael created a special menu for the occasion. GILT opened in 2006 and has since earned international acclaim. In 2009 the restaurant received two Michelin stars under Executive Chef Bogle, who at 28 was the youngest New York City chef to ever earn this distinction. Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2009 was presented at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center®, and televised live by the ABC Television Network in more than 200 countries worldwide.
