Okay everyone. Gird up your loins!
To kick off Saturday’s Screen Actors Guild Awards, “The Devil Wears Prada” stars Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway gathered on stage to present the award for best male actor in a comedy series to Jeremy Allen White (“The Bear”).
In the hit 2006 comedy, Streep played the sharp Miranda Priestly, the ice queen editor of a high fashion magazine. Hathaway co-starred as naïve new employee Andy Sachs, while Blunt was a scene-stealer as frazzled assistant Emily Charlton.
Streep took the stage for the first time at the SAG Awards, wearing a burgundy Prada dress and jokingly tripping over the microphone stand. “Two things, I forgot my glasses and the envelope,” she said, as Blunt and Hathaway walked out with both items.
“It’s an old question: Where does the actor end and the character begin?” Streep continued. She chimed in forcefully: “Meryl and Miranda Priestly are like twins.”
“I don’t think I look anything like Miranda Priestly!” Streep responded, before Hathaway chimed in with one of the film’s most famous lines: “No, no, that wasn’t a question.”
Streep looked at her co-stars in shock, before Blunt twisted the knife one last time with another reference to the film.
“Of course, move at a glacial pace,” Blunt deadpanned. “You know how that excites me.”
On Saturday’s show, Blunt was nominated for best supporting actress for “Oppenheimer,” Christopher Nolan’s star-studded atomic bomb drama. Da’Vine Joy Randolph ultimately took home the award for her performance in “The Holdovers.”
But Blunt didn’t go home empty-handed: Along with his “Oppenheimer” co-stars, he won the night’s top award for outstanding ensemble cast (the SAG equivalent of the Oscar trophy for best picture).
The “Prada” cast wasn’t the only ones gathering to present awards: “The Lord of the Rings” co-stars Elijah Wood and Sean Astin joined together to present Randolph with his trophy, while the “Breaking” stars Bad”, among them Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul and Anna Gunn presented “Succession” with the award for best dramatic ensemble.
