The Devil Wears Prada: Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt reunite onstage for SAG Awards

There was much to celebrate at this year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Not only was it the first ceremony since the end of the guild’s strike in November that saw actors fight for better pay and working conditions, but there was an iconic onstage reunion.

It has been 18 years since the 2006 romantic comedy, The Devil Wears Prada was released and what better way to celebrate than see cast mates Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt present an award together.

The iconic trio took the stage to announce the first award of the evening to Jeremy Allen White who won best male actor in a comedy series for The Bear.

“Two things, I forgot my glasses and the envelope,” Streep began taking the microphone solo.

She was then joined on stage by Blunt carrying the envelope and Hathaway carrying her glasses.

Streep began, “It’s an age-old question, where does the character end, and the actor begin?”

Blunt retorted, “Meryl and Miranda Priestly are like twins” referencing Streep’s Anna Wintour-like fierce fashion magazine editor from the movie.

“I don’t think I’m anything like Miranda Priestly!” Streep exclaimed before Hathaway interjected with a Priestly-quote: “No, no, that wasn’t a question” much to the audience’s delight,

As Streep’s mouth dropped, Blunt leaned in to recite another iconic catchphrase: “By all means, move at a glacial pace — you know how that thrills me.”

The film, based on the 2003 New York Times bestseller by Lauren Weisberger, was never expected to be a huge success let alone continuing to captivate viewers years later.

It propelled Hathaway—who played aspiring journalist Andy Sachs—from young adult roles that she made her early career such as Princess Diaries, into more adult portrayals.

It also launched Blunt—who played the icy assistant to Streep’s Priestly—into the leading lady she is today.

Blunt was up for her fifth and sixth SAG award nominations for best cast (won) and best supporting actress for Oppenheimer, but was taken out by Da’Vine Joy Randolph for The Holdovers.

This year, Oppenheimer and Barbie led with the most nominations—each earning four—however, Christopher Nolan’s masterpiece was the only one to walk away with gongs by winning three.

As well as Jeremy Allen White’s win, The Bear won the outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series honour and outstanding performance in a comedy series for star Ayo Edebiri.

Barbra Streisand was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award, presented to her by Jennifer Aniston.

From July 14 to November 9 last year. the American actors’ union SAG-AFTRA was on strike over a labour dispute with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.

Actors and other SAG-AFTRA members were fighting for better pay and working conditions, as well as contracts that include provisions on artificial intelligence.
