The event brought together the night’s biggest winners and celebrated standout performances in an intimate, elegant setting, all while shining a light on the vital work of the SAG-AFTRA Foundation.

The guest list was star-studded, with attendees including Adam Brody & Leighton Meester, Jodie Foster, Joey King, Taylor Zakhar Perez, Jackie Tohn, Adrian Brody, Edward Norton, Quinta Brunson, Jeremy Allen White, Pamela Anderson, and Keri Russell. Many of the night’s winners, such as Timothée Chalamet, Molly Shannon, Demi Moore, and Kieran Culkin, stopped by the SAG Awards Engraving Station presented by City National Bank. Located in a special space within the gala, the station offered winners the chance to have their statuettes personalized.

The event also welcomed the casts of Bridgerton, Anora, Shogun, Baby Reindeer, Abbott Elementary, and “Best Cast in a Motion Picture” winner Conclave, many of whom were spotted at the Shutterstock portrait studio.

For the 15th consecutive year, Tony Schubert of Event Eleven transformed the Shrine Auditorium stage into a blend of warmth and sophistication. The design featured rich dark wood trumpet columns paired with rust-colored drapery that flowed elegantly against a backdrop of off-white furniture. Touches of teal and blue ottomans added a modern vibrancy, creating a harmonious balance of earthy tones and contemporary style.

Guests enjoyed a live set by internationally acclaimed DJ Michelle Pesce and savored a specially curated menu by David Chang, chef and founder of Momofuku. The culinary offerings included signature dishes like bing bread with ricotta and Chili Crunch, along with Chang’s famed fried chicken. These dishes were paired with Purely Sedona Water, Cooper’s Hawk Wine (including their Lux Sparkling Wine), and beer from Santa Monica Brew Works.

Specialty cocktails also took center stage, featuring the Redbreast 12YO Old Fashioned, Codigo 1530 Perfect Margarita with Codigo 1530 Reposado and Silver Tequila, and classic Absolut Cosmo martinis. Guests also enjoyed selections from the Pernod Ricard USA portfolio, including Malfy Gin, MALIBU Original, Del Maguey Vida Mezcal, and Jefferson’s Bourbon.
