Upon stepping onto the red carpet, Jennifer Aniston exuded an air of exoticism that captivated onlookers. Despite being 45 years old, the actress and SAG nominee broke free from traditional norms and seemed to defy both convention and gravity as she made her way to the 2015 Screen Actors Awards on Sunday. While Jennifer may have once again missed out on winning the best actress award for her performance in Cake, she undoubtedly emerged as a visual victor in a stunning full-length gown. The gown was crafted from a shimmering gold fabric that gracefully flowed into a black border around her feet, and featured a plunging neckline that added a daring touch to her ensemble.
Unique: Jennifer Aniston looked stunning in a classic Galliano dress as she arrived at the 2015 SAG Awards held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on a Sunday evening.

To add some extra flair to her look, Jennifer accessorized with an elegant body chain, which she also wore at the Critics Choice Awards. Her signature gold-highlighted hair was styled sleek and straight with a slight undercurl, perfectly framing her face. Dangling earrings added a touch of glamour, while her golden complexion radiated with a sun-kissed glow.
The exquisite gown was a vintage Galliano piece that Jennifer instantly fell in love with. She described it as “couture, bohemian, and golden like Jennifer,” exuding a sexy California vibe. Her glowing tan was a result of her time spent in Cabo San Lucas.

Despite the risque outfit choice, Jennifer carried it with confidence and maintained that same sense of allure at the SAG Awards as well.
Competing in the same category at the SAG Awards were talented actresses like Felicity Jones, Reese Witherspoon, Rosamund Pike, and Julianne Moore, with the latter taking home the coveted award.
Don’t fret – Jennifer found solace in Meryl Streep, who may have a lot of experience with winning accolades but isn’t quite familiar with the feeling of coming up short.

This was Jennifer’s last chance this year to win a major award, as she had been overlooked by the Oscars. Even though she didn’t win the SAG Award, Jennifer didn’t show any signs of disappointment.
There was a moment during the event when Jennifer seemed to let her guard down, and this was when she was conversing with Meryl Streep. After Meryl whispered something in her ear, Jennifer appeared to be on the verge of tears. Later in the evening, Julia Roberts was seen sitting nearby and engaging in a conversation with Jennifer, their hands clasped.
In the film Cake, Jennifer Aniston showcased her talent in a darker and more daring role than before, reminiscent of her performance in The Good Girl from 2002. She portrayed a character dealing with drug addiction and chronic physical and emotional pain.
Encouragement: Jennifer felt moved by the words Meryl whispered in her ear, helping her move forward from her setback.
She can’t seem to shake it off: Meryl and Jennifer had a kiss during their chat session. Jennifer’s outstanding performance in the film not only landed her Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice nominations but also a Screen Actors Guild award nomination.
Despite not receiving an Oscar nomination, 45-year-old Aniston was promoting Cake the next day next to a poster praising her as ‘Oscar-worthy.’ She joked about the term ‘Oscar-worthy’ and expressed gratitude for the recognition, considering the movie was filmed less than a year ago.

Keira, who is pregnant with her first child with husband James Righton, added a touch of humor by exclaiming, “This is going to be interesting, isn’t it!”
Soon-to-be parents Keira and her rocker husband James Righton are expecting their first child. Keira looked stunning in a purple Erdem dress at the event. The actress, who was nominated for her role in The Imitation Game, playfully complained about the hot weather in Los Angeles.
Speaking about her pregnancy, she mentioned that dressing up for the red carpet can be a bit challenging as she prefers not wearing anything tight. She noted that some people opt for tight clothing during pregnancy, but that’s not her style. When commenting about her Erdem gown, she jokingly added that she could always blame her pregnancy if her shoes come off later in the evening.
Keira also playfully expressed her admiration for Maria’s slender figure, mentioning that if she had a waist like hers, she would definitely flaunt it. However, she pointed out that her waist has disappeared due to her pregnancy, so she can’t quite pull off that look at the moment.
His precious gem: Camila, the model wife of Matthew McConaughey, led the way as the couple arrived for the evening.
Camila and Matthew looked starstruck posing with Jared Leto, who, as the winner of last year’s Male Actor in a Supporting Role, presented an award.

During an interview with red carpet host Maria Menounos, he shared, “It was definitely the strangest request, and when Richard Linklater approached me, there wasn’t even a script. He was just discussing how to capture the essence of growing up. That’s when a light bulb went off in my head, realizing that no one had done something like this before.”
He credited the success of the movie to the dedication of the young actors, Ellar and Lorelie, whose childhood was beautifully portrayed on screen over 12 years. Ethan emphasized, “The film wouldn’t have been possible without the commitment of the kids. They are the heart and soul of the project.”

It’s worth noting that many winners from last year’s SAG awards went on to win Oscars, such as Matthew McConaughey for “Dallas Buyers Club,” Cate Blanchett for “Blue Jasmine,” Lupita Nyong’o for “12 Years A Slave,” and Jared Leto for “Dallas Buyers Club.” The SAG awards are often seen as a reliable indicator of who might win at the Oscars, making them a good gauge for this year’s awards season.

Green queen: Claire Danes from Homeland made a stunning statement in a backless moss-colored Marc Jacobs gown with intricate crossover detailing. One interesting difference between the SAG Awards and the Oscars is the ensemble award category, which is unique to SAG. SAG nominees are chosen by their fellow actors, with 4,200 guild members selected each year to nominate their favorite performances. The voters are split evenly, with 2,100 focusing on television performances and the other 2,100 selecting outstanding film performances to be honored.
Captured on camera: Ethan Hawke and his guest Heather Rutledge posed alongside Kevin Costner and his wife Christine Baumgartner on the red carpet.
After the voting is completed, the entire membership of both SAG and AFTRA (the acting unions in Hollywood) make the final decision on the winners in each category.
SAG stands out as one of the first major awards ceremonies to reveal its nominees, leading to some notable films being left out.
For instance, The Wolf Of Wall Street missed the deadline to submit their screeners last year, causing it to be left out of the awards ceremony.
Taking the lead: Kelly Osbourne was one of the first stars to make an appearance at the Screen Actors Guild Award ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday.
Ladies’ night out: Actress Sarah Paulson from Modern Family is all smiles as she hangs out with her pal Amanda Peet from The Good Wife.
Shaun Robinson from Access Hollywood chose a classic black and white look, Sarah Hyland from Modern Family stunned in a chiffon dress with a jeweled bodice, and Brooke Anderson opted for a sheer, embellished lace outfit.
Just like in previous years with Django Unchained, this year’s issue at the SAG Awards involves the film Selma, which features a stellar cast including Oprah Winfrey, Martin Sheen, and Tim Roth.
Similar to other prominent award shows, the SAG Awards acknowledge actors for their performances in leading, supporting, and ensemble roles, unlike the Oscars, which primarily focus on individual performances. It is important to note that the SAG Awards solely celebrate actors and actresses, without recognizing producers or directors.
