TAGGED AS: Awards, Awards Tour, sag, sag awards
The 29th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were held tonight in Los Angeles, and it was a night of wins for the cast of Everything Everywhere All at Once. The Oscar frontrunner won SAG’s coveted Best Ensemble award and three of the four individual acting races, with Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, and Jamie Lee Curtis all prevailing in their respective categories.
Though Quan has been considered a runaway favorite all season, the wins for both Yeoh and Curtis were seen as upsets against the favored Cate Blanchett and Angela Bassett, respectively. After winning top honors at the PGA Awards the previous night and the DGA Awards last week, Everything Everywhere All at Once has now swept all of the most important guild prizes, and it has solidified its status as a potential Oscar juggernaut. (It already leads the Oscar field with 11 nominations.) The only film acting prize at the SAG Awards that didn’t go to Everything Everywhere All at Once was Best Actor, which Brendan Fraser won for his performance in The Whale.
On the TV side, The White Lotus was the only show that won more than one award, walking away with both Best Ensemble in a Drama Series and Best Actress in a Drama Series for Jennifer Coolidge. Other top winners included Jason Bateman for Ozark, Jean Smart for Hacks, Jeremy Allen White for The Bear, and Abbott Elementary, which won for Best Ensemble in a Comedy Series.
The ceremony, which was broadcast on Netflix’s YouTube channel (before it fully transitions to airing on Netflix beginning next year), was perhaps most memorable for several rousing speeches that emphasized the journey of actors and the diversity currently being recognized in the industry. These included standing ovations for speeches by Jamie Lee Curtis and Sally Field (this year’s SAG Lifetime Achievement recipient), but also for a wonderfully climactic speech by James Hong, the 94-year-old journeyman actor who helped accept the top prize as part of the Everything Everywhere All at Once ensemble.
Read on below for a full list of the evening’s winners, and stick with us through the remainder of the awards season as we see if any of the SAG winners can repeat at the Oscars on Sunday, March 12.
