SAG Awards spotlighted on The Oklahoman’s Television Blog
This time last year, The Oklahoman’s television blog debuted with a look at how Hollywood was preparing for the 14th Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards.
So let’s celebrate the blog’s second anniversary with a list of what’s being done for the 15th Annual SAG Awards, which will air live at 7 p.m. Sunday (Jan. 25) on TNT and TBS:
◊◊Lay 16,476.145 square feet of red carpet in the arrivals area.
◊◊Float a 20’-wide “silver screen” framed by a platinum screen-surround illuminated by 80 feet of embedded LED lights at center stage.
◊◊Place 3,600 pieces Regency crystal stemware, 2,400 pieces Scalini silver plated flatware and 1,200 Coupe black china chargers on 86 rectangular dinner tables.
◊◊Prepare a menu consisting of 225 pounds of crab, 600 pink grapefruits, 400 Seckle pears, 225 short ribs, 40 pounds of shaved parmesan and 20 pounds of dried black olives.
◊◊Place 204 bottles of Dry Creek Vineyard’s 2004 Endeavor Dry Creek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and 204 bottles of Dry Creek Vineyard’s 2006 Russian River Valley Chardonnay on the dinner tables (the more than 700 media and 300 fans in the bleachers will be served 6,720 unbreakable half-liters of Voss still water).
The SAG Awards are also thinking green. That’s why the show has teamed up with the Environmental Media Association and put the following plans in place:
◊◊Reuse red carpet for multiple awards shows.
◊◊Compost food and flowers for the Awards and Gala.
◊◊Donate any excess food from awards and Gala.
◊◊Print on recycled paper for production documents.
