The film is actress Olivia Wilde‘s directorial debut and it just had its premiere at the SXSW festival.

Saoirse is up for Best Actress for her role in Lady Bird, and the film is also up for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress (Laurie Metcalf) and Best Director (Greta Gerwig).
Make sure to watch the Oscars, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, at 8pm EST/5pm PST on ABC.

The Men, Women & Children star and the Lady Bird actress will both appear in the film Booksmart, directed by Olivia Wilde, who will be making her directorial debut.
The story focuses on Kaitlyn and Beanie’s characters, “who, on the eve of their high school graduation, two academic superstars and best friends suddenly realize that they should have worked less and played more. Determined never to fall short of their peers, the girls set out on a mission to cram four years of fun into one night,” according to Variety.
“Sitting across from @kaitlyndever at breakfast freaking out!!!!” Beanie shared on Instagram. “So excited to work with these brilliant women!!! 📚📚📚 #booksmartmovie #femalefilmmakerfriday.”
The script was also penned by a group of women, and the film is being produced by Annapurna Pictures and Gloria Sanchez, the female-focused production banner wing of Gary Sanchez Productions.
The 24-year-old Lady Bird actress revealed she was actually wearing her prom dress while on the red carpet at the 2018 Screen Actors Guild Awards!
“I put it on and it fit, surprisingly maybe better than it did in high school! I looked at myself and I was like, WHAT!? and my mom and her best friend were just laughing so hard, like, ‘You have to wear it! There’s just no other dress that would be better,’” she told The Cut.
Beanie added, “It’s just a gorgeous dress, and I love how my character’s story ends at the prom, so like, for the first time I’m going to an awards show as a nominee with the cast, it’s like, ‘You gotta wear your prom dress, girl, and honor Julie.’”
Tune in for the SAG Awards, hosted by Kristen Bell and featuring all-female presenters, TONIGHT at 8pm ET/5pm PT on TNT and TBS.
FYI: Timothee is wearing a Calvin Klein suit. Saoirse is wearing a Louis Vuitton dress. Greta is wearing a Bottega Veneta dress and Irene Neuwirth jewelry.
