Tonight, the 32nd annual Actor Awards, formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards or SAGs, are set to stream live on Netflix.

The ceremony will honor 2025's best performances in film and television, and see the most spectacular stars pile into the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles, California. We’re talking Sinners stars Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo, One Battle After Another’s Infinity Chase and Teyana Taylor, and Marty Supreme’s Timothée Chalamet with his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner. Anticipating another year of beautiful faces, we can’t help but reflect on SAGs past.

There’s one year in particular that really stands out for us. It’s the year when a certain ’90s power couple walked the red carpet together before they officially called it quits a few months later, per InStyle. We’re talking 2001, when Julia Roberts and Benjamin Bratt, together since 1997, strolled hand-in-hand down the red carpet – she in a brown ensemble, he in a dark suit with a pale-pink tie (this was before the awards show went way formal).

That night at the 7thSAG Awards, Roberts won the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for her role as the title character in Erin Brockovich. She would go on to win the Oscar for the same role at the 73rd annual Academy Awards. Bratt accompanied her to the red carpet, ceremony, and Vanity Fair after-party as well. Roberts famously wore that black-and-white vintage Valentino gown.

We’ll be on the lookout for outstanding couples’ moments tonight, with Chalamet and Jenner, show host Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, and Clair Danes and Hugh Dancy topping our watch list.

The Actor Awards stream Sunday, March 1, at 8 p.m. ET on Netflix. Red-carpet coverage kicks off an hour earlier.
