Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington share behind-the-scenes pics as stars prepare for SAG Awards

Stars of film and television are getting ready for Sunday’s Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles which will have a red carpet as CVID-19 restrictions loosen up.

And Reese Witherspoon, who’s nominated for her Apple TV series The Morning Show, as among the famous faces sharing their behind-the-scenes preparations via social media.

The actress and producer, 45, posted a selfie showing her in full makeup while dressed in a white bath robe.

Meanwhile, Kerry Washington shared a clip in which she’s seen getting her hair done in what appears to be a gym before showing off her stunning makeover transformation. 

Washington, 45, is one of the celebrity presenters of the show that will be broadcast live. 

The 28th annual SAG Awards held at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica is set to kick off with a Hamilton reunion featuring Lin-Manuel Miranda, Leslie Odom Jr. and Daveed Diggs.

Actress Helen Mirren will be feted as the recipient of the union’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

After the January Golden Globes were a non-event, the Screen Actors Guild Awards will be Hollywood’s first major, televised, in-person award show this year.

While the Academy Awards aren’t mandating vaccination for presenters (just attendees), it’s required for the SAG Awards, which are voted on by the Hollywood actors´ guild SAG-AFTRA. One actor in the cast of the Paramount series Yellowstone, Forrie J. Smith, has said he won’t attend because he isn’t vaccinated. 

A starry group of nominees – including Will Smith, Lady Gaga, Denzel Washington, Nicole Kidman and Ben Affleck – will make sure the SAG Award don’t lack for glamour.

Jada Pinkett Smith showed off the amazing gown and jewelry that she was wearing for the ceremony where husband Will is nominated for his performance in King Richard.

Her dramatic two-tone dress had a high collar and voluminous skirt and the sparkling necklace served as a collar.

Five films are nominated for the SAG Awards’ top honor, best ensemble: Kenneth Branagh’s Belfast, Sian Heder’s coming-of-age drama CODA, Adam McKay’s apocalypse comedy Don’t Look Up, Ridley Scott’s high-camp House of Gucci and Reinaldo Marcus Green’s family tennis drama King Richard.

The leading Oscar nominee, Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog,” failed to land a best ensemble nominations but three of its actors – Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst and Kodi Smit-McPhee – are up for individual awards.

Winning best ensemble doesn’t automatically make a movie the Oscar favorite, but actors hold the largest sway because they constitute the largest percentage of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. 

Last year, the actors chose Aaron Sorkin’s 1960s courtroom drama The Trial of the Chicago 7, while best picture at the Oscars went to Nomadland. The year before, SAG´s pick of Parasite presaged the Oscar winner.

In the television categories, Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso comes in with a leading five nominations, closely trailed by HBO’s Succession, Apple’s The Morning Show and Netflix’s much-watched Squid Game – all of which are up for four awards.

Fran Drescher, the newly-appointed SAG-AFTRA president, said last month: ‘After such a long time apart, we’re excited to be together again this year at the 28th annual Screen Actor’s Guild Awards.’

The accolades are given out by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.

Founded in 1952, the awards recognize outstanding performances in movie and prime time television.
