Reese Witherspoon enjoys dinner with friends at Nobu ahead of her big night at the Emmy Awards

Reese Witherspoon enjoyed a night out in Malibu at Nobu with friends on Saturday night.

The Morning Show star, 48, looked chic in a black tank top and jeans with a gorgeous, caramel-brown leather jacket.

The Pleasantville star’s long, blonde hair was styled straight and parted on the side with a bit of body and was lightly tousled. 

She carried a black clutch handbag and looked overjoyed to greet friends at the iconic, celeb-friendly, beachside sushi spot.

Reese has a big night ahead of her on Sunday night as she competes for Best Actress in a Drama for her role in The Morning Show alongside her co-star Jennifer Aniston, 55.

The two actresses are competing for television’s highest honor against Carrie Coon in The Gilded Age, Maya Erskine in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Anna Sawai in Shōgun and Imelda Staunton in The Crown.

The Morning Show is also up for Best Drama Series with Witherspoon and Aniston as producers.

The Apple TV+ show faces stiff competition in the form of Shōgun, 3 Body Problem, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Crown, Fallout, The Gilded Age and Slow Horses.

Overall, The Morning Show is up for 16 nominations and Mark Duplass, who plays Chip on the series, called deciding which co-star to vote for a Sophie’s choice.

‘But, yes, I made a choice,’ he told Variety, adding that he doesn’t expect to win in the category of Supporting Actor, which he was nominated in.

Duplass also is competing against co-stars. Billy Crudup and Jon Hamm are both nominated in the same category for their roles on The Morning Show. 

Other The Morning Show actors nominated are Greta Lee, Holland Taylor, Nicole Beharie and Karen Pittman.

There’s no word yet whether Reese will walk the red carpet with her boyfriend, the German financier, Oliver Haarmann, 56.

In July DailyMail.com exclusively revealed Reese had been seen out on a string of dates with Haarmann, whose ex-wife – businesswoman Mala Gaonkar, 54, is now in a relationship with musician David Byrne, 72. 

It isn’t yet clear how  serious their relationship is. DailyMail.com contacted Reese’s representative for comment.

Haarmann is a founding partner of Searchlight Capital Partners, a private equity investment firm and an investor in the National Hockey League.

He was previously a senior partner of the global investment firm KKR & Co. He shares two sons with Gaonkar.
