The U.S. Government isn\u2019t the only one pretending it\u2019s the 1920s and \u201930s. The newly rechristened Actor Awards, formerly known as The Screen Actors Guild Awards, have announced a \u201cfashion theme\u201d for its red carpet. Hoping to give the Met Gala a run for its money, The Actor Awards will reimagine \u201cHollywood Glamour From The \u201920s and \u201930s\u201d as part of a new collaboration with Elle for the show\u2019s red carpet.<\/p>\n
Now, you might think that reimagining the \u201cglamour\u201d of the \u201920s and \u201930s might be a little on the nose for a time plagued by extreme economic precarity and a resurgence of fascist bloodletting. But don\u2019t let the Gestapo running wild throughout the U.S. confuse you. This is merely an effort to \u201celevate fashion as a central part of the show\u2019s creative expression\u201d for the ever-elusive \u201cglobal audience\u201d that the show hopes to attract, according to Actor Awards showrunner and executive producer Jon Brockett. \u201cIt\u2019s an opportunity to align the red carpet, the show and the culture around it into a single, cohesive moment.\u201d That moment: The decades that led to World War II.<\/p>\n
According to Variety<\/a>, this is a tactic recently attempted by The Golden Globes, which was similarly inspired by the Met Gala. Variety notes that, like the Gala, the red carpet featured photo and video crews on either side and a photo-op on the stairs. Did it help? Well, no. Viewership declined 8% from last year<\/a>. But maybe another reminder of the 1930s will be the key to unlocking the global audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The U.S. Government isn\u2019t the only one pretending it\u2019s the 1920s and \u201930s.
