During Saturday night’s SAG Awards, the cast of The Crown series six experienced an awkward moment on the red carpet.
The uncomfortable incident transpired when some leading stars of the royal drama were being interviewed by US TV show host Loni Love.
Loni, reporting with Laverne Cox on E’s Live From The Red Carpet, began by interviewing Elizabeth Debicki, the actress portraying Princess Diana.
Confusion and Mix-up of Cast Members
As the interview progressed, it became evident that Loni hadn’t kept up with the Netflix hit, leading to a mix-up of cast members.
While praising Elizabeth for her Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series award, Loni mistakenly attributed roles to other cast members.
The confusion reached its peak when she misidentified Ed McVey as playing Dodi, prompting corrections from Khalid Abdalla and Luther Ford regarding their respective roles as Dodi Fayed and Prince Harry.
Attempts to Rectify the Situation
Despite attempts to rectify the situation, Loni’s questions continued to elicit mixed responses from the cast.
She inquired about their interactions off-screen, only to be corrected that Khalid and Elizabeth hadn’t shot scenes with Ed and Luther.
The confusion persisted, and Loni’s efforts to praise Khalid’s portrayal of Dodi were met with discussions about the character and his relationship with Princess Diana.
SAG Awards Winners and The Crown’s Outcome
The Crown, although nominated, did not secure the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series category, losing to Succession.
Other notable winners included Lily Gladstone for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for Killers Of The Flower Moon, and Oppenheimer, which triumphed in several major film categories.
