Put on your loincloths! Reuniting over 18 years after the debut of the legendary film, the three performed the first “Actor” of the evening that they had performed together.
A reuniting of the cast at an awards ceremony? Pioneering in nature.
However, there is no sarcasm in this situation since Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt, who all starred in The Devil Wears Prada, got back together at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2024, which was over 18 years after the release of the legendary picture that was released in 2006, and for a reason that was really innovative.
During the awards event that took place on Saturday night, which was broadcast live on Netflix, Meryl Streep, who is 74 years old, Hathaway, who is 41 years old, and Blunt, who is also 41 years old, gave the first award of the evening. They presented the “Actor” award, which was for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series. The award was for Jeremy Allen White, who played The Bear.
Streep was the first performer to take the stage by herself. While she was revealing that she was missing her reading glasses and the envelope, she “accidentally” bumped that microphone.
“Two things, I forgot my glasses, clearly, and the envelope,” she remarked before Hathaway and Blunt came on stage and rescued the day by bringing her spectacles and the mail, respectively. “It’s clear that I forgot both of these things.”
Streep added, “It’s an age-old question, where does the character end and the actor begin,” but Blunt interrupted her and said, “Well, as we’ve just seen, Meryl and Miranda Priestly are sort of like twins, right?” Streep continued, “It’s an age-old question.”
In response to Streep’s statement that she does not believe she is “anything” like her character in the movie, Hathaway responded with one of Miranda’s many famous one-liners from the film: “No, no. There was no dispute about it.”
Streep was urged by Hathaway to deliver the trophy, and Blunt responded by saying, “By all means, move at a glacial place you know how that thrills me,” quoting another line from the movie. Streep seemed to be taking her time in presenting the award.
Even though it was brief, the moment was amusing. In addition, it is important to point out that Hathaway wore a gown that had a cyan blue color. It is not simply blue; it is not turquoise; it is not lapis; rather, it is genuinely cerulean.
The film adaptation of Laura Weisberger’s book of the same name, which was published in 2003, was titled The Devil Wears Prada and was first released in June of 2006.
It was previously revealed that Meryl Streep played the role of Miranda Priestly, the editor-in-chief of Runway magazine, in the movie. Weisberger has been rumored for a long time that he modeled the character on Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue, since the author had previously worked as Wintour’s assistant.
Hathaway portrayed the role of Andrea “Andy” Sachs, an ambitious journalist who has no prior experience working in the fashion world and who is employed as Miranda’s assistant. Blunt played the role of Emily Charlton, Miranda’s junior assistant.
Meryl Streep was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress, and Patricia Field was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Costume Design for her character in the comedy-drama that was released in 2007. A nomination for a Screen Actors Guild Award was also submitted for Meryl Streep.
During this time, both Streep and Blunt secured nominations for the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards. It was for the comedy series Only Murders in the Building that Meryl Streep and the other members of her ensemble were nominated for an award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.
As for Blunt, she was nominated for the “Actor” award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role for her performance in Oppenheimer; nevertheless, Da’Vine Joy Randolph (The Holdovers) was the recipient of the prize. Blunt and the other members of her Oppenheimer ensemble, on the other hand, were the recipients of the prize for Outstanding Performance by an ensemble in a Motion Picture.
