Hollywood’s latest and greatest flocked to the iconic Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles for the 2026 Actor Awards, formerly known as the SAG Awards, on Sunday night.
Timothee Chalamet, Teyana Taylor, Emma Stone and Michael B. Jordan were just some of the nominated A-listers at the ceremony hosted by Kristen Bell.
And with a nearly three-hour runtime, celebrities had ample opportunity to party with their peers while awards were being handed out across 15 categories.
Chalamet, who is dating bombshell Kylie Jenner, was caught gawking at his Marty Supreme co-star Gwyneth Paltrow, who was dressed to the nines in a black dress and diamonds, while hanging out at their reserved table.
Paltrow proved to be the belle of the ball as she was seen mingling with just about everyone in the room, including fellow icon Demi Moore.
The actresses held on tightly to one another as they shared an exclusive, girls-only chat before Paltrow stepped away to laugh it up with Sandra Bernhard.
