LOS ANGELES (December 13, 2011) – Dick Van Dyke will present Screen Actors Guild’s 48th Life Achievement Award to Mary Tyler Moore at the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards®, executive producer and director Jeff Margolis announced today.
Screen Actors Guild is honoring Mary Tyler Moore for her career achievement and humanitarian accomplishments. Past recipients of SAG’s Life Achievement Award include Ernest Borgnine, Betty White, James Earl Jones, Charles Durning, Julie Andrews, Shirley Temple Black, James Garner, Karl Malden, Clint Eastwood, Edward Asner, Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee, Sidney Poitier, Kirk Douglas, Elizabeth Taylor, Angela Lansbury, Robert Redford and George Burns.
The 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards®, one of the awards season’s premier events, will be simulcast live coast-to-coast on TNT and TBS on Sunday, Jan. 29, 2012, at 8 p.m. (ET) / 5 p.m. (PT) from the Shrine Exposition Center in Los Angeles. An encore primetime telecast will begin immediately following on TNT at 10 p.m. (ET) / 7 p.m. (PT). The ceremony will also be telecast internationally, as well as to U.S. military installations overseas through the American Forces Network Broadcast Center.

Film and television legends Moore and Dick Van Dyke first made history together when they were cast as suburban couple Rob and Laura Petrie in Van Dyke’s eponymous sitcom based on the experiences of comedy writer Carl Reiner. The series broke new ground in television and is said to have ushered in the golden age of the situation comedy. Adored by audiences and critics alike, the series earned four Outstanding Comedy Series Emmy® Awards during the show’s five-year run, three Emmys for Van Dyke and two Emmys and a nomination for Moore.
In 1969, Van Dyke and Moore reunited for a one-hour variety special called Dick Van Dyke and the Other Woman. They joined forces again in a 1979 episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Hour reprising their roles as the Petries in a tongue-in-cheek comedic sketch. Other notable collaborations by the famously funny TV spouses include a PBS version of D. L. Coburn's Pulitzer Prize-winning nursing home-set stage play "The Gin Game," as well as a reunion with former cast mates in TV Land’s nostalgic “The Dick Van Dyke Show Revisited.”
After the series ended, Van Dyke went on to star in such classic feature films as “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” “Mary Poppins,” “The Comic” and “Dick Tracy.” Over the years, he continued his work on network television starring in “The New Dick Van Dyke Show,” “Van Dyke and Company” (for which he received his fourth Emmy) and a critically-acclaimed, Emmy-nominated dramatic performance in the made-for-television movie “The Morning After.” In his fifth decade in television, Van Dyke starred in the 1990s prime time series “Diagnosis Murder” for CBS. He returned to his Broadway roots in productions of “Bye Bye Birdie” and “A Dancers Life,” and most recently penned a New York Times best-selling memoir “My Lucky Life In and Out of Show Business.”
Mary Tyler Moore showed her range as a ‘triple threat’ following the Dick Van Dyke Show with co-starring roles opposite Julie Andrews in the film musical “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” Elvis Presley in “Change of Habit” and her television movie debut in the drama “Run A Crooked Mile.”
She formed a production company, MTM, with her then husband Grant Tinker and created the groundbreaking comedy “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” chronicling the career, friendships and dating life of a single, thirtyish, spunky, independent, career woman in the world of local TV news. With a brilliant cast, the character-driven series redefined the meaning of ensemble comedy and of family. In its seven-year run the show garnered 29 Emmys, including four for its star.
MTM Enterprises continued to produce an impressive list of landmark comedies and dramas including “The Bob Newhart Show”, “Newhart, “WKRP in Cincinnati,” “Hill Street Blues,” “The White Shadow” (starring current SAG president Ken Howard) and “St. Elsewhere.” “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” yielded several successful spin-offs, including “Rhoda,” starring Valerie Harper; “Phyllis,” starring Cloris Leachman; and “Lou Grant,” starring Ed Asner (SAG’s 38th Life Achievement recipient).
Moore is a holder of seven Emmys®, a Tony® and an Academy Award® nomination, among numerous industry and philanthropic accolades. She delivered Emmy nominated performances in the telefilms “First You Cry” for her portrayal of TV correspondent Betty Rollin and "Heartsounds" opposite James Garner (SAG’s 41st Life Achievement recipient), as well as Lifetime’s “Stolen Babies” for which she won her seventh Emmy. Moore earned her Oscar® nomination for her riveting portrayal of Beth Jarrett in “Ordinary People” and continued to explore painful subject matter in the hit Broadway play "Whose Life Is It, Anyway?" for which she earned her Tony Award in her Broadway debut.
This year, on the season premiere of “Hot in Cleveland” Moore reunited onscreen with Betty White for the first time since “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” sharing a jail cell with White’s character, Elka, who was arrested in the season one cliffhanger.
Moore has published two autobiographies, “After All,” and “Growing Up Again: Life, Loves, and Oh Yeah, Diabetes.” Moore donated all her profits from “Growing Up Again” to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), the world’s leading funder and advocate for Type 1 diabetes science. Moore has been JDRF’s International Chairman since 1984, a tireless advocate to increase funding for Type 1 diabetes research and support, as well as a generous supporter of JDRF’s research programs.
Among many other accolades, Moore has received the Women in Film Crystal Award, been immortalized with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, presented with the American Screenwriters Association first David Angell Humanitarian Award and honored with the National Association of Broadcasters Distinguished Service Award.

Key Creative Team Announced for the 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards® ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SAG Awards® will be Simulcast Live on TNT and TBS on Sunday, Jan. 30 at 8 p.m. (ET) / 5 p.m. (PT)
LOS ANGELES (Jan. 3, 2011) - Jeff Margolis, executive producer and director of the 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards® announced that the team of talented producers and artists behind previous SAG Awards are returning to create this year’s ceremonies. The 17th Annual SAG Awards® also marks the 13th consecutive year Jeff Margolis Productions has produced the Actors® in association with Screen Actors Guild Awards, LLC.
The 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards will be simulcast live from coast to coast on Sunday, Jan. 30, 2011 on TNT and TBS at 8 p.m. (ET), 7 p.m. (CT), 6 p.m. (MT) and 5 p.m. (PT). When the guests arrive and viewers tune-in, the festivities at the Los Angeles Shrine Exposition Center will look effortless and seamless. But behind the glamour and excitement is the hard work of dozens of dedicated professionals in multiple disciplines, most of whom return annually.
Jeff Margolis first took the helm as executive producer of acting’s most glamorous evening with the 5th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. This year’s 17th Annual SAG Awards also marks the fourth consecutive year Margolis is bringing his Emmy® and DGA Award-winning directing talents to the Guild’s annual awards ceremony.
Kathy Connell will produce the Screen Actors Guild Awards for the 17th consecutive year (the first two were as a producer for SAG). Connell is also Screen Actors Guild’s executive producer for national programming and in 2007-2008 produced the Guild’s year-long award-winning celebration of its 75th Anniversary.
The Awards Committee for Screen Actors Guild – chair JoBeth Williams, vice-chair Daryl Anderson, newest committee member Scott Bakula and veterans Shelley Fabares and Paul Napier – advise at all stages leading up to the production.
“Each year we look forward to the SAG Awards as a reunion of creative colleagues and an opportunity for fresh collaboration,” shares Margolis. “We take great pride in designing a memorable evening for both the community of actors at the Awards ceremony and for our audience at home which has grown consistently year after year.”
The Shrine complex is Los Angeles landmark built in 1920 in Spanish Colonial Revival style with Moorish detailing. It’s grandiose and beautiful on the outside, but the inner space of the Shrine’s Exposition Center, with its 34,000 square foot wooden floor, paint-trimmed overhangs and bare columns, has to be redefined for each event. Just to create a neutral backdrop from which the show’s designers can begin their transformation, it takes some 15,000 square feet of black drape to cover the showroom walls and block sunlight and another 11,800 square feet of black carpet to cover the showroom floor and seating risers.
Production designers John Shaffner & Joe Stewart, who together share 30 Emmy nominations, an Art Directors Guild Award for the 2006 Emmy Awards, plus four Art Directors Guild nominations and five Emmys (including their 2005 kudo for The George Lopez Show), ”), will be designing their eighth new set for the SAG Awards. They recently designed the set for Conan O’Brien’s new late-night show on TBS, “Conan.” Shaffner is the chair of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Board of Governors, while Stewart serves as chair of the Academy’s Governor’s Ball committee and Sculpture committee.
Their elegant new set, reminiscent of a grand lobby will provide an opulent backdrop against which the ceremony will unfold. The most distinguishing features are a pair of monumental lacquered doors, each framed by oversized moulding with roccco staff detail, which will lead to the wings on either side of the stage. Gold-leafed vertical pipes will line the perimeter of the stage, rising up from a black and white check lacquered floor, while in the center will float a gold-leafed ornately-framed screen on which the nominated performances and tributes that are at the heart of the event will be showcased. A custom-made crystal chandelier will punctuate the stage lighting, echoed in multiple overhead crystal fixtures throughout the showroom.
“We take something that looks essentially like a basketball court on the inside and turn it into an elegant setting with dining and stage appropriate for an honors telecast,” says producer Kathy Connell. “The show comes together relatively quickly during the final days because we know each other so well and can speak in shorthand.”
In a business where consistency is a precious commodity, the SAG Awards team of talented producers and artists is marked by longevity. Supervising producers Gloria Fujita O’Brien and Mick McCullough of Jeff Margolis Productions are returning for their 13th consecutive year.
Peabody Award winner Stephen Pouliot will be writing his his 13th SAG Awards script. In addition to the SAG Awards, has collaborated with Jeff Margolis on numerous specials, including “CBS: 50 Years from Television City,” and “A Gala for the President at Ford’s Theatre.” Other specials he has written include “The 9/11 Concert for New York City”, the Academy Awards® and the Opening Ceremonies for the International Special Olympic Games in Shanghai.
Also returning is the SAG Awards’ executive in charge of production since 1999, Benn Fleishman. He is a three-time Emmy® nominee for the HBO specials “Bill Maher…But I’m Not Wrong” (2010), “Ricky Gervais: Out of England” (2009) and “Bill Maher: The Decider” (2008). In the interim between the 16th and 17th Screen Actors Guild Awards he served as production executive on “Countdown to the Oscars 2010,“ his seventh “Creative Arts Emmy Awards”, the “NewNowNext Awards on Logo” and the HBO specials “Ricky Gervais: Out of England 2 – The Stand Up Special ” and “Tracy Morgan – Black and Blue.”
Returning for his eighth year is lighting designer Jeffrey Engel, an Emmy-winner and 22-time Emmy nominee for such projects as the 63rd and 64th Academy Awards, both directed by Margolis.
Composer and conductor Lenny Stack, an Emmy-winner for music arranging for the Screen Actors Guild 50th Anniversary Special and composer of the current SAG Awards theme, is returning for his 13th Screen Actors Guild Awards. Stack has also been musical director for the Golden Globe® ceremony since 1994.
Maggie Barrett Caulfield, executive in charge of talent since 2001, returns for her 11th SAG Awards. Rosalind Jarrett, executive in charge of publicity, returns for her 12th SAG Awards. A 2009 nominee for the ICG Publicists Les Mason Award for Career Achievement, she was previously honored with the Publicists Guild’s Maxwell Weinberg Showmanship Award. Returning for his 13th SAG Awards is awards coordinating producer Jon Brockett.
Filmmaker Douglass M. Stewart Jr. will produce the film tribute saluting the accomplishments of SAG Life Achievement Award honoree Ernest Borgnine. A veteran of 28 Oscar® telecasts and 13 Emmy shows, eight-time Emmy nominee Stewart returns for his seventh SAG Awards telecast.
Paul Fagenwill produce the SAG Awards “In Memoriam” homage for the fifth consecutive year. Fagen produces live film events specializing in celebrity tributes and award shows. In the past 20 years,he has honored over 60 major celebrities, most recently Julie Andrews and Blake Edwards. With his company P. Fagen Productions he also produces tribute reels, trailers, industrial films and documentaries.
Quinn Monahanis producing the SAG Awards annual salute to Guild members for the fourth successive year. Monahan has created film packages for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and last year for the TBS comedy special Cheech & Chong Roasted. He is currently director and co-creator of the Internet series Game Dads. His work will also be featured in this year’s Miss America broadcast.
Cynthia Kistler has served the SAG Awards as associate producer since 2002 and was production manager from 1999-2001. In the interim between the 16th and 17th Screen Actors Guild Awards she served as associate producer on her seventh Creative Arts Emmy Awards, the “NewNowNext Awards on Logo” and the HBO specials “Bill Maher…But I’m Not Wrong” and “Ricky Gervais: Out of England 2 – The Stand Up Special.”
Returning for his 14th SAG Awards is Keaton S. Walker, who has served as the SAG Awards art director since 1997. Walker is a multiple Emmy and Art Director’s Guild honoree for his work on the Oscars and the Emmys.
Keith Greco returns for the eighth year to design the Award ceremonies’ grand entrance and showroom décor. Among many recent projects, Greco Décor created design elements for Disney Interactive Studios’ launch and promotion of the “Tron: Evolution” and “Toy Story 3” video games, designed the premiere event for “Salt” and designed the “Los Angeles Haunted Hayride” in Griffith Park.
SAG Awards event supervisor Andrea Wyn Schall, a two-time Special Events Gala award nominee and author of Budget Bash – Simply Fabulous Events on a Budget http://www.budgetbashbook.com/ returns for the 12th year to coordinate event design and logistics. She and Greco will again create the Champagne Taittinger toast that opens the SAG Awards Red Carpet.
The SAG Awards challenges a chef to create a single plate that appeals to both the eye and the palate and as a televised event requires impeccable service that is efficient and unobtrusive. Lucques Catering under the direction of James Beard Award-winning chef Suzanne Goin and front-of-the-house expert Caroline Styne, will cater the SAG Awards for the second consecutive year. Goin, together with award-winning sommelier Styne, owns three of Los Angeles’ hottest restaurants, Lucques, A.O.C. and Tavern. They share the SAG Awards philosophy of “going green,” in their choices of food purveyors and culinary practices, while offering the impeccable service that a televised awards show requires. Goin, author of the award-winning cookbook “Sunday Suppers at Lucques.” is also partnered her husband, chef David Lentz, in Lentz’s seafood restaurants, “The Hungry Cat,” with locations in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. The trio was the driving force behind this year’s highly successful inaugural “LA Loves Alex’s Lemonade Stand” charity benefit.
Lucques’ menu will be complemented for the 11th year by Champagne Taittinger’s Brut La Française, which is also served in the Champagne Taittinger Toast that opens the SAG Awards Red Carpet each year, and wines by Dry Creek Vineyard, including a Cabernet-based SAG Awards Cuvee Cabernet Sauvignon, created especially by Dry Creek’s winemakers to commemorate the 11th Anniversary of Dry Creek Vineyard’s contribution to the SAG Awards celebration.
Punctuating the dinner table design will be the classic Hollywood-inspired floral arrangements by Christopher Matsumoto of C.J. Matsumoto & Sons, who is returning for his seventh SAG Awards. C.J. Matsumoto & Sons was co-named Best Florist by Southern California Meetings and Events Magazine in their 2010 Best of Industry Awards.
While the showroom is being transformed, rising in the Shrine’s east parking lot is the tent housing the Post-Awards Gala hosted by PEOPLE Magazine and the Entertainment Industry Foundation to honor the charitable endeavors of SAG members. EIF and PEOPLE have not only thrown the Awards fabulous after-party for the past 15 years, but also made a generous donation to support the good works of the SAG Foundation each year.
In the days leading up to the Awards ceremony, the work can stretch well into the early morning hours for the show’s production team, partners, independent contractors and volunteers. But that all comes with the territory. Together they create an evening to remember for SAG Awards nominees, presenters and industry leaders and a simulcast for TNT and TBS that is widely respected by the industry and a staple of awards season viewing.
The 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards will be produced by Jeff Margolis Productions in association with Screen Actors Guild Awards®, LLC. For more information about the SAG Awards, SAG, TNT and TBS visit http://sagawards.org/about.

Borgnine, who has performed in more than 200 motion pictures, five television series and dozens of television films and guest appearances, will be presented the Award, given annually to an actor who fosters the “finest ideals of the acting profession,” at the 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards®, which premieres live on TNT and TBS on Sunday, Jan. 30, 2011 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, 7 p.m. CT, 6 p.m. MT.
In making today’s announcement, Screen Actors Guild National President Ken Howard said, “Whether portraying brutish villains, sympathetic everymen, complex leaders or hapless heroes, Ernest Borgnine has brought a boundless energy which, at 93, is still a hallmark of his remarkably busy life and career. It is with that same joyous spirit that we salute his impressive body of work and his steadfast generosity.”
Borgnine has been the recipient of industry recognition, critical praise and audience approbation throughout his career. He first drew the public eye in 1953 with his portrayal of the vicious Sergeant “Fatso” Judson, who beat Frank Sinatra’s Maggio to a pulpy death in the Oscar®-winning film “From Here to Eternity.” He was memorable as one of the thugs who threatened a one-armed Spencer Tracy in “Bad Day at Black Rock,” then did a 180-degree turn in 1955, starring for director Delbert Mann and screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky as the title character in what was to be the year’s best picture Oscar winner, “Marty.” His touching performance as the lonely butcher won Borgnine an Academy Award®, a BAFTA and a Golden Globe®. He would receive a second Golden Globe nomination some 52 years later for the title role in the telefilm “A Grandpa for Christmas” and an Independent Spirit Award nomination in 1989 for his Mafia boss in “Spike of Bensonhurst.”
During the ‘50s, Borgnine performed frequently on such Golden Age of Television masterworks as “G.E. Theatre” and “Philco Playhouse,” but it was the 1962-66 broad ensemble comedy “McHale’s Navy” that would cement his presence as a household name and earn Borgnine his first Emmy® nomination in 1963. The Television Academy would again nominate Borgnine in 1980 for his portrait of World War I soldier Stanislaus Katczinsky in the Hallmark Hall of Fame production of “All Quiet on the Western Front” (again under Delbert Mann’s direction) and just last year for his guest role as a devoted husband coming to terms with his wife’s imminent death in the final episode of “ER.”
Borgnine was also the recipient in 1999 of a Daytime Emmy nomination for his voice work as Carface in the animated “All Dogs Go to Heaven: The Series” and the same year began his continuing run as the voice of semi-retired aquatic superhero Mermaid Man in the Nickelodeon smash-hit “SpongeBob SquarePants,” bringing him a whole new legion of young fans. He’s also played an animated version of himself on “The Simpsons.”
Borgnine was born Ermes Effron Borgnino on Jan. 24, 1917 in Hamden, Conn., son of Italian immigrants Charles (fka Camillo) and Anna Borgnino and grandson of Count Paolo Boselli, financial advisor to Italian King Victor Emmanuel. When he was 2, his parents separated, and he moved to Italy with his mother until the family reunited in Connecticut when Borgnine was 5. After he graduated high school in 1935, finding factory work and driving a vegetable truck did not suit him, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy. He was discharged in October 1941, but a few months later, when the United States entered World War II, he re-enlisted and served until 1945, rising to the rank of Gunner’s Mate 1st Class. After the war, at his mother’s suggestion and with funds from the GI Bill, he enrolled in the Randall School of Dramatic Arts in Hartford, and then honed his craft at the famed Barter Theatre in Abington, Va.. There where he painted scenery, worked as stagehand and drove a truck yet-again, eventually getting a shot at acting in numerous classics. He even traveled with the company to entertain U.S. servicemen in Germany and Denmark, in the role of Guildenstern in Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.”
Borgnine’s big break came in 1949, when he won the role of the hospital attendant in a Broadway production of “Harvey.” His success in live television prompted a move to Los Angeles, where in 1951, he made his motion picture debut in “The Whistle at Eaton Falls.” The staggering catalog of his 200 motion pictures since includes such classics as “Johnny Guitar,” starring Joan Crawford; “Vera Cruz,” with Gary Cooper and Burt Lancaster; “The Catered Affair,” opposite Bette Davis; legendary ensemble pieces like Robert Aldrich’s “The Dirty Dozen” and Sam Peckinpah’s “The Wild Bunch”; and large-scale productions like “The Vikings,” “Torpedo Run,” “Emperor of the North,” “Ice Station Zebra,” “Flight Of The Phoenix,” “Escape from New York” and “The Poseidon Adventure.” He portrayed controversial FBI founder J. Edgar Hoover in the 1983 telefilm “Blood Feud” and again in the feature “Hoover,” which he also executive produced. He also played real-life boxing coach Angelo Dundee opposite Muhammad Ali (as himself) in “The Greatest.” His latest film “Red,” starring Bruce Willis, Mary-Louise Parker, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Richard Dreyfuss and Brian Cox, opens in October.
Besides “McHale’s Navy,” Borgnine’s television credits include starring as seasoned police office Joe Cleaver in “Future Cop” (1976-77), as veteran aircraft owner Dominic Santini “Airwolf” (1984-86), and as doorman Manny Cordoba in “The Single Guy” (1995-97). Among his telefilms and miniseries are “Jesus of Nazareth”; “The Trail to Hope Rose,” for which, at age 87, he drove a team of horses and was honored with the Wrangler Award from the National Cowboy Hall of Fame; and this year’s “Wishing Well.” He had a recurring role on “The Commish” and guest starred in numerous series, including “JAG,” “Early Edition,” “Walker, Texas Ranger,” “Little House on the Prairie,” “Touched By An Angel,” “7th Heaven,” “Family Law” and “The District.” He even appeared in the first “Center Square” in the “Hollywood Squares” when the game show premiered in 1965.
Borgnine has received Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Columbia College Hollywood, Albertus Magnus College in New Haven, Lakeland College in Mikwaukee and the University of Northern Alabama. Still deeply connected to Navy years, he maintains contacts with old shipmates from his destroyer days. He was recognized for his support of the Navy Memorial Fund with the Lone Sailor award from the Navy Memorial Foundation and was named an Honorary Chief Petty Officer by the Navy Chiefs. Some 20 years ago, he acquired another Naval title: Honorary Flight Leader for the Navy’s Flight Demonstration Team: The Blue Angels. In 2000, the Veterans Foundation elected him Veteran of the Year. As he celebrated his 90th birthday, he was honored with the California Commendation Medal for his support of the military by the Commanding Officer of the California National Guard. In 2009, he participated in a special tribute to the Navy at the National Memorial Day Parade presented by the American Veterans Center in Washington, D.C.
In 1985, Borgnine received the Motion Picture and Television Fund’s Golden Boot Award for his work in film and television Westerns. In 1990, he was named Honorary Mayor of Universal City, where “McHale’s Navy” was filmed. In 1997, the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival honored him with the King Vidor Memorial Award. The National Film Theatre of Great Britain honored him in May 2001 for a lifetime of artistic achievement. In 2009, he received a special tribute at the Almería, Spain International Film Festival and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Rhode Island International Film Festival, which screened his then-latest feature “Another Harvest Moon,” in which he starred opposite Piper Laurie, Anne Meara and Doris Roberts.
In 2002, Borgnine received a lifetime achievement award from his mother’s birthplace, Carpi, Italy. In honor of his Italian parentage, he received the Ellis Island Medal of Honor. For a quarter century, he marched as the Grand Clown in “The Great Circus Parade” in Milwaukee. A Freemason for 60 years, he is proud to have been honored with the 33rd Degree of the Masonic Order of the Grand Cross. He was honorary chair of the Scottish Rite RiteCare Program, which sponsors 175 childhood language disorders clinics, centers and programs nationwide, and narrated “On the Wings of Words,” a film about the RiteCare Program.
Borgnine’s 2008 autobiography, “Ernie” was a “New York Times” bestseller. He lives in Beverly Hills with his wife of 37 years, Tova, QVC’s on camera spokesperson for Tova cosmetics,

To create a dramatic arrivals area, impressive set and intimate dinner setting for the world’s leading actors who are gathering on Sunday, Jan. 30 at the Shrine Exposition Center, the SAG Awards® will…
➢ Lay 15,872 square feet of red carpet in the arrivals area, edged by 585 lineal feet of hedges ➢ Accommodate 300 fans in three-row six-foot high bleachers placed along an 180’ section of the red carpet arrivals area ➢ In the event of rain, protect the red carpet from the elements by 23,530 square feet of tenting ➢ Lay 11,800 square feet of black carpet in the interior Shrine entrance and the showroom. ➢ Cover the showroom walls with 15,000 square feet of black drape to create a neutral background and block sunlight. ➢ Post five 10’ Actor® statues along the red carpet and onstage. ➢ On the stage, install 600 feet of vertical gold leaf pipe connecting two monumental 16-foot high doorways, each enclosing a pair of eight-paneled lacquered doors. Each doorway is capped by 10-foot fiberglass staff detail, which is repeated at the base. The doorways are surrounded by 100 feet of over-scaled custom-cut case moldings, which are repeated downstage with another 75 feet of custom molding to create a proscenium arch. ➢ Float a 20’ wide “silver screen” framed by 100 feet of custom crown molding in front of 200 running feet of 30’ high fiber-optic star cloth. ➢ Line the stage floor with 300 4’x4’ sheets of black and white checkerboard Formica. ➢ Above the stage hang a 5-foot crystal empire chandelier that will be echoed by four chandeliers hung from the Expo Hall’s ornate ceiling. ➢ Place over 3,600 Gold Rim champagne, wine and water glasses, 2,400 pieces Empire Gold flatware and 1,200 Alpine Gold Rim Charger plates, on 86 rectangular dinner tables and over 2,000 glasses at two 16’ beverage bars and two wine tasting bar. ➢ Create custom table coverings from 800 yards of black silk with 800 yards of half inch wide gold satin ribbon as a top stitched detail, complemented by 1,200 white linen hem-stitched napkins ➢ Soften 1200 Bella Braid Gold Chameleon chairs with 1200 black suede seat cushions ➢ Create a stunning visual setting through the use of florals. This year’s inspiration is a slightly edgy return to classic Hollywood, fashioned with over 2,500 white roses highlighted by the textures of over a thousand orchids and accentuated with hundreds of white hydrangeas and over a thousand white lilies. The return to the “golden days” is dramatically underscored by the addition of gold-tinted leaves as well as hundreds of bunches of horsetail, galax leaves and zebra leaves. The arrangements will be designed in classic golden fabric covered containers in two distinct styles: one a return to quintessential Hollywood with a full floral look and one with a contemporary spin.
Guests will dine on an antipasto plate conceived by James Beard Award-winning chef Suzanne Goin, deliciously prepared and artfully arranged by Lucques Catering, consisting of:
➢ Blood Oranges with Dates, Arugula and Parmesan ➢ Beluga Lentils with Carrots, Pinenuts and Feta ➢ Slow-Roasted King Salmon with Cucumbers, Yogurt and Ginger-Mint Chutney ➢ Slow-Roasted Lamb with Chickpeas, Black Olives and Feta Salsa Verde ➢ Fresh Baked Herbed Crostini with Parmesan, Chopped Thyme and Parsley
To prepare this menu, Lucques order for the SAG Awards® from their select group of purveyors includes:
Some interesting facts from Lucques Catering Director Jessica Goin about the purveyors chosen by Chef Suzanne Goin:
Provvista is a great specialty food company started by Joe Guth, a close friend who cooked with Suzanne at Chez Panisse!
Barbara and Bill Spencer own Windrose Farm a small family farm. They’re really amazing people who grow incredible chilies, heirloom apples, tomatoes, beans, etc. They even came to Suzanne’s wedding.
Another great family farm is Rutiz Farms, owned by Jerry Rutiz. Suzanne describes his carrots in her cookbook, “This exotic spiced snapper dish evolved from the most mundane ingredient in the mix: the everyday carrot. But the carrots that inspired it, grown by local farmer Jerry Rutiz, are by no means ordinary. His funky-shaped, dirt-encrusted carrots are the sweetest and most delicious of any I’ve tasted.”
Alex Weiser, of Weiser Farms is another favorite. He grows the most beautiful romanesco (like cauliflower but fractals) that we’ve ever seen.
Bill Coleman farms Coleman Farms with his (I think) SIX grown children. Romeo Coleman is so handsome we call him the Antonio Banderas of Carpinteria (but not to his face because he’s very shy.)
Schaner Farms – Peter Schaner is probably one of our favorite people in all the world (and I think he beats Bill Coleman by two kids!). We even held his brother’s wedding at Lucques. We get our suckling pigs from another brother. Peter has incredible citrus, avocados, pomegranates, child raising tips….
Ocean Jewels is owned by Julie Harman, who we call what else – Ocean Julie. She does amazing work finding great sustainably fished product, it seems like she and Suzanne drive themselves crazy hunting for the most delicious fish that has the smallest impact on the environment. (i.e. are you better off with a local fish that isn’t fished as sustainably or a fish that is more sustainable but has to be flown in?)
Flora Bella Farm is owned by James Birch. Here’s how Suzanne described him in her cookbook: “If you leaned against your sink, closed your eyes, and focused on conjuring up the quintessential organic farmer, James Birch would appear in your kitchen. He looks like a cross between a grizzly bear and an overgrown Little Prince. And he is, in fact, the king of broccoli.”
Beverages for guests include:
➢ For the tables: 102 magnums of Dry Creek Vineyard’s exclusive 11th Anniversary SAG Awards® Cabernet-based 2008 Cuvée and 204 bottles of Dry Creek Vineyard’s 2009 Dry Creek Valley Sauvignon Blanc. ➢ Dry Creek Vineyard’s wine-tasting bars will offer a selection that includes the 2008 Foggy Oaks Chardonnay from the Russian River Valley and the 2007 Sonoma County Heritage Zinfandel. A total of 192 bottles will be available for tasting. ➢ 234 magnums of Champagne Taittinger Brut La Française served in the showroom ➢ 144 magnums of Champagne Taittinger Brut La Française served in at the post-Awards gala ➢ 1548 glass decanters of Voss sparkling and still water served in the showroom ➢ Another 6,720 unbreakable third-liters of Voss still water for our more than 700 media and 300 fans in the bleachers ➢ At the showroom and gala bars: 108 bottles of Grey Goose Original Vodka and 7 bottles each of Grey Goose La Poire, Grey Goose L’Orange and Grey Goose Le Citron

“Green Seal” Award
for the Second Consecutive Year
Los Angeles (October 18, 2010) – The Screen Actors Guild Awards® has been honored for the second consecutive year with the Environmental Media Association (EMA)’s Green Seal, recognizing a production’s outstanding efforts to implement sustainable initiatives and promote environmental awareness. The EMA Green Seal was presented for the green practices of the 16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards® at the 20th Annual EMA Awards on Saturday, Oct. 16, at Warner Brothers Studios.
The Environmental Media Association along with its partner, Green Seal, created the EMA Green Seal Program to simultaneously promote sustainable production methods and provide recognition for those in the entertainment industry who’ve made strides in incorporating such practices. The Program includes film and television productions as well as award shows and galas. The Program’s criteria cover all facets of a production and provide a practical and comprehensive guide to environmentally responsible filmmaking and event planning. In each area of focus, the criteria include specific environmental actions in order to help producers focus their greening efforts. The EMA Green Seal Program is designed to be flexible enough that any production can potentially qualify, regardless of budget or size. The Program is based on a self-assessment by the production company on how well it complies with the Program criteria developed by EMA and Green Seal.
In recognizing the SAG Awards® as a Green Seal honoree, the EMA stated: “Congratulations to SAG and Jeff Margolis Productions for their ongoing efforts to green the prestigious SAG Awards for the 2nd year in a row. They built upon their environmental program from 2009 - which included a comprehensive recycling and composting program, local and organic menu, reused stage components and red carpets, and sustainable procurement - with additional initiatives like red carpet hybrid service, a no-idling zone around the Shrine Auditorium, and green crew gift. SAG’s dedication to reducing the Awards’ environmental footprint has allowed them to achieve a nearly zero-waste event. In addition, SAG has limited production printing and is using double-sided printing wherever possible. SAG is also committed to greening their headquarters in Los Angeles and has embarked on a progressive program to reduce the environmental footprint of the organization’s office operations.”
SAG Awards executives recognized by EMA for spearheading the production’s environmental efforts were Kathy Connell, Producer; Mick McCullough, Supervising Producer; Benn Fleishman, Executive in Charge of Production; Jon Brockett, Awards Coordinating Producer; Chris Carr, Production Manager and Carrie White, Publicity Manager.

Robinson, Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston, Rosalind Russell, Pearl Bailey, James Cagney, Katharine Hepburn, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, Red Skelton, Gene Kelly, Burt Lancaster, Audrey Hepburn, Robert Redford, Elizabeth Taylor, Clint Eastwood, James Garner, Julie Andrews, Charles Durning and James Earl Jones, among others.
