CELEBRATING THE CRAFT each year, and wines by the SAG Awards official vintner, Dry Creek Vineyard. Both multigenerational family- owned firms, Champagne Taittinger and Dry Creek Vineyard are donors to the SAG Foundation, as is our newest sponsor, FIJI Water. Punctuating the dinner table design will be the classic Hollywood-inspired floral arrangements by Christopher Matsumoto of C.J. Matsumoto & Sons. C.J. Matsumoto & Sons was co-named Best Florist by Southern California Meetings and Events Magazine in its 2010 Best of Industry Awards. As the SAG Awards presenters await their rehearsals on January 28 and their appearance onstage on January 29, they will have the pleasure of reviewing their scripts in the graceful comfort of the SAG Awards Green Room, which is hosted by world-renowned jeweler Graff Diamonds, in support of the SAG Foundation. Within simple pipe-and- drape boundaries designating an offstage corner of Shrine Exposition Center, as 39 SCREEN ACTOR - Special Issue 2012 designed and furnished by international luxury brand FENDI CASA Luxury Living, the décor of the wholly transformed retreat will be an elegant backdrop for displays of Graff's exquisite works of art in gemstones. 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. 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, volunteers and the Shrine's own staff. But that effort all comes with the territory. Together they create SAG.org C.J. Matsumoto & Sons' Chris Matsumoto, right, shows off floral arrangements to Benn Fleishman, executive in charge of production, and art director Keith Greco. 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 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards will be simulcast live on Sunday, January 29, 2011 from the Shrine Exposition Center in Los Angeles. J r o d a n S r t a s u s / W r i e m I a g e c . o m
