Jennifer Aniston reveals she shared a New Year’s Eve kiss with Barbra Streisand at the 2024 SAG Awards.

Jennifer Aniston and Bradley Cooper, the stars of 2018 A star is born (Streisand starred in the 1976 version), took the stage to introduce the movie icon, where Aniston revealed that she and Streisand once kissed at midnight on New Year’s Eve.

The EGOT winner received a standing ovation when she took the stage, followed by emotional responses from several audience members, including Anne Hathaway, Emma Stone and later Joey King, all of whom were teary-eyed.

After joking that it’s the best award you can get “because you know you’re going to get it,” Streisand began her sentimental acceptance speech, “Thank you SAG-AFTRA. I’m very proud to have been a member for over 60 years. I can’t really believe.”

“Ever since I was a young girl sitting in the Loew’s Kings Theater in Brooklyn, I dreamed of being one of those actresses I watched on the silver screen,” Streisand said in a statement.

“Movies were a portal to a world I could only imagine,” she continued. “Even though I was an unlikely candidate, my dream somehow came true. This award is especially meaningful to me because it comes from my fellow actors, whom you admire.”
