SAG Awards 2024: Bradley Cooper and his Maestro costar Carey Mulligan put on a unified front as they compete f

Bradley Cooper and Carey Mulligan had a Maestro reunion on Saturday at the 2024 SAG Awards in Los Angeles.

After a taxing 118-day strike, the Screen Actors Guild is honoring the best performers in film and television at its 30th annual ceremony, which is being held at LA's Shrine Auditorium.

The 49-year-old actor-turned-filmmaker and the 38-year-old actress are both nominated tonight in the male and female lead actor categories. 

Bradley, who co-wrote, directed and starred in the film, appeared in the title role as the legendary conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein, while Carey appeared opposite him as Bernstein's wife Felicia Montealegre.

Carey was unmissable in a glamorous shimmering off-the-shoulder dress that stood out on the red carpet. 

Bradley Cooper, 49, and Carey Mulligan, 38, had a Maestro reunion on Saturday at the 2024 SAG Awards in Los Angeles

Bradley, who co-wrote, directed and starred in Maestro, appeared in the title role as the legendary conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein, while Carey appeared opposite him as Bernstein's wife Felicia Montealegre

The shimmering dress had thick, elegant folds over her midriff that emphasized her hourglass figure.

The Promising Young Woman star had matching pointy-toed gold heels peaking out from under her skirt, and she complemented her lustrous look with her blond tresses, which were styled in a chic blunt-cut bob with a middle part.

She added some sparkle to the look with a thick gold necklace that featured enormous gleaming diamonds.

Carey's scene mate Bradley contrasted her glowing look with a dapper black tuxedo with peaked lapels.

He paired it with a black necktie, and he wore a tastefully groomed beard.

Cooper has been acclaimed by critics and fans alike for his work on Maestro, both behind and in front of the camera.

He underwent hours having makeup and prosthetics applied to play Bernstein at various ages, and his skill at replicating the conductor's iconic style in front of an orchestra has received rave reviews.

The film focuses less on his work as a conductor and composer and instead hones in on his marriage to Felicia, which was strained over the decades by Bernstein's sexuality and ongoing affairs with other men, though the film show's him tenderly caring for his beloved wife as she battles cancer toward the end of her life.

The movie was Cooper's second feature as director, following his hit 2018 remake of A Star Is Born, which he starred in with Lady Gaga.

The awards come just months after SAG-AFTRA struck a deal with film studios following a months-long strike in which pay in the streaming era and artificial intelligence were top issues of concern.   

The strike began on July 25, 2023, and a tentative deal was struck on November 8. It formally ended on December 5, 2023, with 78 percent of union members voting yes. 

Despite disagreements over the final deal, the outcome was a huge relief for union leaders and the entertainment industry following a grueling few months of strikes.

The boycott coincided with the WGA strike, which lasted from May 2 to September 27.
