Unmissable Moments at the 2025 SAG Awards: Celebs Behind the Scenes
The 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards, streaming live on Netflix on February 23, made headlines not just for its winners but also for the backstage moments that didn’t get televised. Sure, the world saw the stunning outfits and thrilling speeches, but what about the gossip-worthy run-ins and feel-good reunions that happened off-camera? It’s safe to say that the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles was buzzing with star power and heartfelt interactions.
Let’s not forget about the show’s charisma-in-chief, Kristen Bell, who was spotted snapping a selfie with the equally fabulous Kerry Washington right before taking the stage. I mean, if those two aren’t besties, they need to be! Meanwhile, Selena Gomez and Sheryl Lee Ralph were deep in conversation, reminding us that networking in Hollywood often doubles as a good ol’ gossip session. Talk about fabulous!
And how could we overlook the cast of the highly buzzed-about movie adaptation of **Wicked**? Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande were definitely serving up the good vibes at their table, all while Jeff Goldblum showcased his sentimental side chatting with Demi Moore. Can we take a moment to appreciate that Jeff Goldblum is basically the cool uncle of Hollywood?
On the awards front, the night was a showdown, particularly for film nominations. **Wicked** led the charge with five nominations, closely followed by the Bob Dylan biopic **A Complete Unknown** starring Timothée Chalamet with four nods. As for the television side, **Shogun** reigned supreme, securing five nominations including accolades for Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai—who are clearly making waves in a super competitive category.
For **The Bear’s** Ayo Edebiri, the SAG Awards serve more than just an opportunity for accolades; they’re about reconnecting with friends and forging new relationships. “I’m looking out at this room of people whose work moves me,” she said in a previous speech. It’s a vibe—appreciating the craft and friendships that make the glitzy awards nights truly special.
So, as we look back at all those delightful moments captured behind the scenes, let’s remember that the SAG Awards are as much about camaraderie as they are about competition. With new marriages in the mix, such as Tyson Mason and Justine Lupe’s fresh-as-a-daisy courthouse wedding moments, and playful exchanges all around, it’s clear that the 2025 SAG Awards were a night to remember.
Get ready for more highlights in your feeds, and remember—if you wanna keep up with the rich and famous, it’s not just about the awards, darling; it’s also about who’s hugging who backstage!
