Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington are ready for the new year.

When host Jimmy Kimmel chatted with the actresses, it was revealed that the two were spending some time with friends -- all wearing face masks -- while donning 2021 party gear.
"We're having a New Year's Eve party," said Washington, 43, prompting Kimmel to ask why.

"We, because we're ready for this year to be over," said Witherspoon, 44.
The former "Scandal" star then began to count backward from 10, as one would during the final seconds of the year, as Witherspoon and the others joined in.
After shouting, "Happy New Year," Washington and Witherspoon turned toward one another and joked that they wished they could share a smooch.
"I wish I could kiss you guys, too," Kimmel responded.
Washington joked: "No, we don't want that, thank you."
Washington was nominated for her work as an actress and producer on "Little Fires Everywhere." She was also nominated for producing "American Son" and won an award for producing "Live in Front of a Studio Audience: 'All in the Family' and 'Good Times.'"
