Anne Hathaway has once again been the protagonist of new headlines this weekend. After surrendering to Aitana at Milan Fashion Week, the actress reappeared on stage at the SAG Awards (Hollywood Screen Actors Guild Awards), held early this Sunday in Los Angeles. The actress was in charge of presenting an award, but she did not do it alone. She had luxury company: Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt. Thus, the three starred in a reunion that transported many viewers to 2006, the release date of the film The Devil Wears Prada.
The truth is that the gala was marked by a large number of outstanding moments: from the speech by the president of the organization, Fran Drescher, about the historic strike that the actors have carried out during the past year, to reunions. One of them starred the main cast of The Devil Wears Prada, one of the most acclaimed productions in the world of romantic comedy.
Meryl Streep was the first of the three leading actresses from the 2006 feature film to take the stage. And, after a stumble, she addressed the public. “Two things: I have forgotten my glasses, clearly, and the envelope,” said the actress, causing the audience to laugh. And, as expected at this point in the story, those in charge of giving him both things were Emily and Anne.
Already with the two actresses at her side, and with her glasses on, the veteran actress began a brief speech. “This is an old question. Where does the character end and the actor begin?” she wondered. “As we just saw, Meryl and Miranda Priestly are like twins, right?” Blunt interrupted, referring to the character that Streep played in the aforementioned film.
“I don’t think I look much like Miranda Priestly,” Streep said at the time. “No, no, that wasn’t a question,” Hathaway then interrupted, winking at the film that marked an entire generation. Next, both actresses urged Meryl Streep to continue and present the award for ‘Best Actor in a Comedy Series’
Streep paused before speaking again, something that caused laughter from the audience and made her companions turn to her. The actress cast a sidelong glance, again, as she already did in the famous film. And, when she was going to speak, Blunt recreated one of the most popular scenes from the ‘film’: “Please take your time. You know how much I love to wait,” she told him. Amid laughter from the audience, Meryl announced the nominees in the category and announced the winner: Jeremy Allen White, for his role in The Bear. For many, this has become the most iconic moment of the night.
