The 23rd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards seating arrangement created a drama between "The Big Bang Theory" stars, Jim Parsons and Kaley Cuoco. Apparently, the Penny Hofstadter depicter was not happy with the decision Parsons made to spend the night with his "Hidden Figures" co-stars instead of the "Big Bang Theory" cast.
They were interviewed for E!'s "Live From the Red Carpet" when they were jokingly fighting over the seating arrangement. Parsons was nominated twice. He was nominated as part of "The Big Bang Theory" cast (Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series) and also as a part of "Hidden Figures" stars (Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture).
When asked about his double nominations, Parsons gushed, "It's more exciting than I even thought it would be, I'll be honest with you. When it happened it was really neat, but it was really on the ride over I was tonight like, 'Oh my God, I have two groups of people I get to see!' It's kind of overwhelming in that way!"
That's when the "Burning Bodhi" actress was curious about where her longtime colleague would be sitting throughout the event. He then revealed he would sit at "Hidden Figures" table, taking Cuoco by surprise.
He quickly explained, "I was only part of that decision. Here's what happens: you can't sit in both." Cuoco interrupted him as she said, "Do you hear this? He just moves right into the 'Hidden Figures' table. OK! This is news to me, if you can't tell."
Parsons responded to her remark with a laugh and reminded her that he had mentioned where he would sit "weeks ago." He added, "They have kindly put our tables close together." However, it didn't stop Cuoco from complaining. She said jokingly, "Would it be weird if I sat at the 'Modern Family' table? I'm just wondering, I'm confused." Parsons joked along with her as he said, "You broke the news! There's in-fighting on 'Big Bang'!"
However, fans can rest assured that there's no bad blood between the two co-stars. Parsons, who donned Montblanc studs and cuff links that night, even praised Cuoco's look. He said that she looked gorgeous in a Marchesa soft-pink dress and Stuart Weitzman shoes. She completed the look with Le Vian jewelry.
