Raising a Glass to Hollywood: An Inside Look at the 2025 SAG Awards After-Party
Following the 31st Annual SAG Awards — where award-winning actors Timothée Chalamet, Molly Shannon, Demi Moore and Kiernan Culkin triumphed — the crème de la crème of Hollywood kept the celebrations going by mingling and sipping specialty cocktails at the official Post-Awards Gala, hosted by PEOPLE and Audi at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall.
The stage of the Shrine Auditorium was elegantly transformed into an exquisite fusion of warmth and sophistication — thoughtfully designed by event planner Tony Schubert of Event Eleven — to immerse the crowd in an atmosphere of refined elegance.
With rich dark wood trumpet columns, the area was complemented by rust-colored drapery that cascaded beautifully against a backdrop of off-white furniture. Accents of teal and blue ottoman created a harmonious balance of earthy tones and modern vibrancy. It became an intimate night for award-winners and partygoers to remember (unless they had one too many drinks).
SAG Gala partygoers sipped on a featured cocktail menu of Redbreast 12YO Irish Whiskey (Redbreast 12YO Old Fashioned), Código 1530 Reposado and Silver Tequila (Código 1530 Perfect Margarita) and Absolut Cosmo martinis, alongside premium spirits from Pernod Ricard USA, including Malfy Gin, MALIBU Original, Del Maguey Vida Mezcal and Jefferson's Bourbon.
Internationally acclaimed DJ Michelle Pesce played tunes from Madonna, Kendrick Lamar and Chance the Rapper as star-studded guests moved to the rhythm while chatting it up with their peers and relishing in bites from a specially curated menu by chef and founder of Momofuku, David Chang.
Attendees indulged in bing bread with ricotta and Chili Crunch, as well as his signature fried chicken. Other trays featured mini corn dogs and caviar sandwich bites. These dishes were washed down with Purely Sedona Water, Cooper's Hawk Wine including their Lux Sparkling Wine and neer from Santa Monica Brew Works.
Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, Jodie Foster, Joey King, Taylor Zakhar Perez, Adrian Brody, Edward Norton, Quinta Brunson, Jeremy Allen White, Pamela Anderson, and Keri Russell were only some of the top-tier talent in the room.
Inside a special space within the gala, presented by City National Bank, the night's winners stopped by the SAG Awards Engraving Station, offering those victorious with the opportunity to get their statuettes personalized.
The cast of Bridgerton, Anora, Shogun, Baby Reindeer, Abbott Elementary and "Best Cast in a Motion Picture" winner Conclave were also present, making appearances at the Shutterstock portrait studio. Both new and familiar faces moved through the crowd, savoring the moment, until the music faded and the night marked another chapter in Hollywood's legendary award season celebrations.

Ted Danson admits he's 'nauseatingly in love' with wife Mary Steenburgen as couple reunites on screen
Ted Danson and wife Mary Steenburgen are "nauseatingly in love" after nearly 30 years of marriage. During SiriusXM's "Where Everybody Knows Your Name" podcast, Danson – who hosts the show with Woody Harrelson – told guest Brett Goldstein that he will be working with his wife, actress Mary Steenburgen, in season two of "Man On The Inside." He also explained that starring alongside each other in the show has made them fall in love again. "Oh, it's just magical. We're falling in love. The story evolves, but I'm just head-over-heels in love with her and to sit there on camera and look into your wife's eyes…. And we're nauseatingly in love in private life and to just disappear into her eyes in front of a camera is pretty astounding," Danson said. Goldstein asked Danson how working alongside his wife has been, and the actor replied, "Oh, it's delicious." Goldstein was full of questions and told Danson, "I am freaked out by the idea of couples who act together. How does it work? And how do you leave your house? You go to work together, in the car? And then what happens? Did you act together before you got together?" Danson explained that he met his wife on the set of a movie, but he learned quickly he had to check his ego "at the door." "I realized part of my job is to host my wife. I was here last year. I am this 'Man on the Inside.' And if she doesn't have a wonderful time, I'm an a--hole. And that's on me. And that's just my attitude," Danson said. Danson and Steenburgen first met in 1983 and married in 1995. They each have two children from previous marriages. In January, Steenburgen admitted that she thought Danson was a bit of a ladies' man before she met him – similar to the character he played on "Cheers" from 1982 to 1993. "I admired him so much as an actor, but I didn't personally know him, and I had this stupid idea that he was, like, maybe kind of a slick guy," she told People at the time. However, she soon realized "how wrong" she was. "Slick guys don't say, 'gosh-a-rooni,' after making love. I'd like to apologize to my granddaughters," she jokingly added. She added that there's a reason Danson is "treasured" by everyone he works with. "He's just so loving and takes such joy in acting that all of us who are hard at work away from our families for long hours get to work on a set that is dictated by his kindness," she said. She continued, "I also fell in love with the sort of father that he is and with his beloved daughters... Ted loves them with all his heart and yet had space in there to love my Lilly and Charlie so perfectly as well. It's pretty thrilling to go through life with Ted Danson." The couple's best quality time is very early in the morning, according to Danson. "The most fun is the early mornings," Danson told People of their 4:30 togetherness time. "Coffee in bed, playing Wordle, Connections, and Spelling Bee, talking and laughing and sharing. To both of us, it's like heaven on Earth." He added, "Even if she's working in a different time zone, we will wake up in time to be able to play our games and have coffee over the phone."

Chaos As Cruise Ship Window Shatters Raining Glass Onto Busy Pool Deck
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Footage capturing the alarming moment a glass panel from a cruise ship restaurant suddenly fell onto a pool deck has captivated viewers on social media. The frightening incident unfolded aboard Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas cruise ship on June 8. The vessel was said to be turning to dock at its first scheduled stop in Port Canaveral, Florida. Tytti Tuliainen, a 40-year-old travel content creator from Finland, shared a view of the glass panel crashing onto the deck, with guests watching from the pool, in a video posted on her YouTube channel @TravelingFinnishGirl. Newsweek has contacted Royal Caribbean by email and @missdiane93 via TikTok for comment. This video has not been independently verified. The YouTuber was having lunch at a restaurant on the ship when she heard the window cracking. Tuliainen told Newsweek: "I was dining in the Coastal Kitchen above the pool deck when it happened." @missdiane93 This happened today on Symphony of the Seas! Great staff member noticed it and cleared the area. ♬ original sound - MissDiane Another view of the scene from the pool deck was captured in a video shared by TikTok user @missdiane93. The clip, which has amassed more than 3.8 million views since it was posted on June 9, shows the glass panel cracking before dropping onto sun loungers by the pool. A man is shown flinching and running away just as the glass drops, with the murmur of alarmed crowds heard in the background. A voice off-camera says: "That would have just hit us." Cruise travel continues to see strong growth in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era. A 2025 report by the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) found that cruise passenger numbers are projected to reach 37.7 million in 2025. Eighty-two percent of cruisers are planning to cruise again, while 68 percent of international travelers are considering going on their first cruise. First-time cruisers were reported to be driving the growth, with 31 percent of passengers in the last two years being new to cruise, according to the CLIA. Users on Reddit also shared posts about the incident, including by u/ Smooth_J24 and u/ireadmorethenpost, who shared an image of staff members examining the site of the shattered glass. Tuliainen said: "When the glass shattered unexpectedly, one of the crew members working in the restaurant—Nitin Kumar—ran down to move people away from under the floor-to-ceiling window. Thanks to his quick response, no one was hurt." The cruise website Cruise Fever said Kumar responded to the incident in a Facebook group created for the cruise trip, saying: "Thank you so much everyone for appreciation, you all are my family, what I did I did for family … what I did I learn from this company how to take care of my guests like family, so thank you so much. Enjoy your vacation." Staff members reportedly responded immediately and passengers reported that "the window is already replaced," with repairs done swiftly, according to Cruise Fever. Tuliainen said: "No one knows why the window broke. Only the outside panel shattered, and there was no impact that anyone saw." The cruise was said to have resumed normal operations, going onto the Bahamas with its return to New Jersey scheduled for June 13. Stock image: A Royal Caribbean cruise ship sails at sea.
