Actor Susan Sarandon, on her red carpet walk before the 3:15 Saturday screening of "The Greatest," announced she was looking forward to her upcoming trip to Washington D.C. for President Barack Obama's inauguration. It's her first inauguration, she noted, although that's not the way the press has reported it. "It think I'll enjoy it more than the last one that they said I went to," joked the actor who is noted for her activism, along with partner Tim Robbins.

Others at the premiere included director/screenwriter Shana Feste, and Sarandon's husband in the movie, Pierce Brosnan, who was in town along with his real-life wife and two sons, Dylan and Paris, who were skiing for the day. Before the screening, the buzz at the Eccles Theatre was favorably comparing the movie to the Robert Redford-directed "Ordinary People." Feste, who admitted she loved that movie, said she was honored by the comparison.
