Modern Family and Breaking Bad casts reunite at SAG Awards 2024
It was a night for long-awaited reunions!
From Modern Family and Breaking Bad to The Devil Wears Prada and even Lord of the Rings, it was a night for long-awaited reunions at the SAG Awards 2024.
The glittering Screen Actors' Guild Awards took place in Los Angeles and saw an historic win for Killers of the Flower Moon star Lily Gladstone. Elizabeth Debicki, Robert Downey Jr, Cillian Murphy and Steven Yeun also picked up awards.
However, some of the biggest moments of the night came from those presenting the awards. While presenting the award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series to the cast of The Bear, Sofia Vergara reunited with her Modern Family co-stars Ed O'Neill, Ty Burrell, Julie Bowen, Eric Stonestreet, and Jesse Tyler-Ferguson.
While Stonestreet and Ferguson joked with Vergara as she plugged her Netflix series Griselda, Bowen got a little distracted by Barbie star Ryan Gosling in the audience.
Fans were thrilled to see the co-stars together again after Modern Family ended after 11 seasons in 2020.
It was far from the only reunion that night though. Viewers were thrilled once again when the stars of Breaking Bad - Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Bob Odenkirk, RJ Mitte, Anna Gunn, Jonathan Banks, Betsy Brandt and Dean Norris - reunited to present the award for Ensemble in a Drama Series to the cast of Succession.
Elsewhere, Meryl Streep took to the stage to present the award for Best Male Actor in a Comedy Series to Jeremy Allen White - and was swiftly joined by her co-stars from 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt.
Hathaway and Blunt couldn't resist reeling off some of Streep's most iconic lines as Miranda Priestly, including Blunt telling her former co-star: "By all means, move at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me."
As if that wasn't enough, Lord of the Rings stars Elijah Wood and Sean Astin reunited to present the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role.
The pair, who are still close friends, joked about Elijah never receiving his statuette after Return of the King won Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture 20 years ago.

"Well, it's somewhere," Astin responded. "If by somewhere, you mean Frodo-fan-7-11's shelf, because he bought it on eBay — sorry about that."
