Skip the tuxes and ask guests to dress as their favorite character from one of the nominee categories! Read on to see how to recreate a SAG Awards viewing party at home.
The SAG Awards bring together an opportunity to celebrate our favorite stand-out performances in movies and prime television. The last year of content has seen some exceptional talent rise and shine to the top of the nomination list. Between fashion and entertainment, there is something for everyone while viewing the SAG Awards at home. Champagne Taittinger is an official sponsor of the SAG Awards and wants to help you create a SAG Awards viewing party at home by hosting a character themed costume party.
How to Host a SAG Awards Viewing Party
Chic Lite Bites Worthy of Hollywood Glamour.
It wouldn’t be a night at the movies without a DIY popcorn bar. Black and white paper popcorn holders help guests get into a cinematic mood and we like elevating it with a little sweet and salty DIY station. Combos for popcorn toppings include nutritional yeast and white chocolate, cheddar powder and brown sugar, parmesan cheese and tarragon.
The SAG award is made up of a man holding Melpomene, the tragedy and comedy masks, so play this up in decorating your dessert bar. We printed these off and fixed them onto the black & white cookies (another duality to highlight Melpomene), with a toothpick.
Let the Champagne Reign Supreme.
It wouldn’t be a SAG Awards viewing party without plenty of Champagne Taittinger on hand. Champagne Taittinger is an official sponsor of the SAG Awards which means you can drink like the stars at your own viewing party. Whether you serve it in a coupe or a flute, keep the bar simple and easy to access. Make sure to keep your champagne chilled, and even chilling the champagne flutes before serving will help reduce any accidental spill-overs.
Create a Costume Party Theme.
The great thing about the SAG Awards is that because it continuously pulls from a variety of exceptional movies and television shows, there are always new characters to “invite” to your SAG Awards viewing party. From this year’s nominees, we loved recreating looks from The Great, Mare of Eastown, Ted Lasso, House of Gucci, The White Lotus, and Succession.
The range of characters means that everyone can get involved and recreate their favorite nominated character. The nice thing is, they likely have everything in their closet to recreate it as well.
It’s always a great time when you can dress up in costume and another reason to celebrate as well. No one understands that better than Champagne Taittinger. With these effortless tips and a bottle of the finest bubbles, you too can celebrate an award show viewing party at home. Now let’s get ready to enjoy a night with the movies!
Tune in to watch the SAG Awards on TNT or TBS at 8 PM ET/ 5 PM PT or you can stream it from HBO Max on Monday.
