SAG Awards: Shrine Auditorium Evacuated...On Mary's Night - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

After a 15-minute evacuation, people are being slowly let back into the Shrine after going through a new extensive search, including metal detectors. The Red Carpet too is being reopened. Still no explanation as to what prompted the swift measure.

PREVIOUS 1:55 PM: The entire Shrine Auditorium, where the SAG Awards are to begin in 3 hours, has been evacuated and the red carpet has been temporary shut down. Deadline contributor Ray Richmond reports that everyone was told to leave the building immediately for a sweep as security forces with bomb-sniffing dogs swarmed the premises. Everyone has been escorted out. While bomb sweeps at major awards shows are standard procedure, such mass evacuations so close to the ceremony are unusual. We will update the story when more details are available.

Dick Van Dyke presents the Lifetime Achievement Award to his former "Dick Van Dyke Show" co-star Mary Tyler Moore, delivering a heartfelt speech citing her screen work and humanitarian work. Moore received a standing ovation from the crowd.

Moore began her speech by recalling how she had to alter her name from "Mary Moore" due to multiple listings of the same name in the SAG rosters.

"After all these years, I, too, am happy after all," Moore said while wrapping up her speech.

After the speech, Dick Van Dyke gave her a peck on the cheek.

Ed Asner
Co-star, The Mary Tyler Moore Show

"I learned from her by osmosis all the time. She gesticulated more than I did. She was tremendously generous. She never resorted to backbiting, never a complaint, never an untoward word. She accepted the facts and foibles of everybody and left it to others to straighten out those who needed to fly right. She was inordinately prompt. All of us had tremendous stage experience. She probably had less. But she was a workaholic."

Cloris Leachman
Co-star, The Mary Tyler Moore Show

"I always think in terms of different ways to do things -- not how you're supposed to do it but what would be a good, different way to do it. It takes more time to do that, and then you have to be able to do it with the camera. One time I said to Mary, 'You're so sweet to us, we have to remember you're the star because we take so much time.' She said, 'I just wait for you to figure it all out, then you make a nice little path and I just dance down it.' "

Betty White
Co-star, The Mary Tyler Moore Show

"Mary and I have been very close friends for many years. I almost didn't get the part of Sue Ann Nivens on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. They wanted 'a sickeningly sweet Betty White type' to play the part, and the casting director said, 'Well, why don't you just get Betty White?' The producers said, 'Oh, no, we can't because Betty and Mary are best friends and if it didn't work out, that might make it awkward for Mary.' Well, I guess they couldn't find anyone sickeningly sweet enough because they finally came back to me and said, 'Would you do it?' It was such fun working with her. Mary has a way, even with one line or one word she can just take a scene. She's such a pro -- and her manners are impeccable."
