Oppenheimer and The Bear dominated several ceremonies this award season, and the Screen Actor Guild Awards were no exception. Christopher Nolan’s atomic bomb epic and FX’s culinary dramedy were the biggest winners of the night at the SAG Awards on Saturday.

Oppenheimer came into the ceremony as one of the top contenders with four nominations and managed to take three trophies home. Most notably, it won the award for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture, beating tough competition in American Fiction, Barbie, The Color Purple, and Killers of the Flower Moon.

Its star Cillian Murphy won the SAG Award for his lead performance, while Robert Downey Jr. continued his sweep in the best supporting actor field. Killers of the Flower Moon’s Lily Gladstone and The Holdovers’ Da’Vine Joy Randolph won trophies for the best leading and supporting actress, respectively.

When it comes to the TV categories, The Bear was the biggest winner of the night with three awards, including outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series, best actor (Jeremy Allen White), and best actress in a comedy series (Ayo Edebiri).

The drama field brought several shockers our way, with Succession’s Emmy winners Kieran Culkin and Sarah Snook losing to Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us) and Elizabeth Debicki (The Crown). The final season of HBO’s drama still managed to win the main award in this field – outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series.

The 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards took place at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles on February 24.
