The annual awards show is going vegan, with thousands of guests being served a plant-based meal for the first time ever. The decision -- driven by climate-change concerns -- comes at a time when the U.S. beef industry is trying to scrub its polluter image, with a vegan-burger craze sweeping the nation.
