“Total chaos at the SAG Awards as Claire Foy and Rooney Mara are not allowed into the Fairmont Hotel ballroom – they are told to wait for the fire chief to let them and hundreds of other guests in,” Setoodeh said. .
He added, “Even Bill Murray has to wait. This is madness!’
In the clip, Murray, 72, was seen looking around the room, while Foy, 38, and Mara, 37, were talking to others.
On the show, Murray was dressed in a black suit with a multi-colored bow tie. The A-list actor has been nominated for three SAG Awards in the past: in 2016 for A Very Murray Christmas; in 2016, for group awards for The Grand Budapest Hotel; and in 2004 for Lost in Translation.
Foy donned a yellow Prada dress for the procedure, accessorized it with jewelry and a handbag.
