The stars of the 15th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards show Sunday were, well, the stars, so the design of the awards dinner at the Shrine Auditorium was all about showing off hundreds of them to best effect on camera. That task fell to the team of awards art director Keith Greco of Greco Decor and awards event supervisor Andrea Wyn Schall of A Wynning Event—SAG show regulars who worked with Benn Fleishman, the returning SAG executive in charge of production.
“Our theme is simple, glamorous, elegant, high style,” Schall said. “One thing that's really different about this show is that it's about the actor, so the table is to reflect the actor and make it so that whatever they're wearing will stand out more. The table is secondary. You just see black and silver, neutral, understated."

Any nostalgic movie lover can appreciate the glamour of old Hollywood—but no one loves it more than the Screen Actors Guild, which has traditionally asked event planners to evoke the spirit of the movie industry’s golden age come awards time. And with Sunday’s ceremony—the first big bash of this award season—marking the 75th anniversary of the thespians’ union, the watchwords for the evening were old-fashioned elegance and precious metals.
Technically, 75th anniversaries should be celebrated with gifts of diamonds. But gold, silver, and platinum are eye-catching, too, so for the 14th annual Screen Actors Guild awards at the Shrine Auditorium, SAG awards production designers John Shaffner and Joe Stewart designed a stage with a gold backdrop flanked by columns bedecked with gold and silver. Unlike the Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which seats stars in an auditorium for the Oscars, SAG mercifully feeds its members during the proceedings. So SAG awards art director Keith Greco of Greco Decor was charged with coordinating his tabletop design, which he accomplished with classic golden place settings.
