The Awards season continues, this time with the 24th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.
The SAG Awards, which honor the year’s performances in movies and television, took place at Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Among the night’s big winners were Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, This Is Us, and Big Little Lies.
As promised, it was the women of Hollywood who took center stage with a slew of female presenters.The night kicked off in the traditional fashion with Allison Janney, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Millie Bobby Brown speaking from their seats in the audience about their lives as actors. The SAG’s first-ever host, Kristen Bell, or as she self proclaimed, the “first lady,” nailed the gig and was absolutely flawless.
Three Billboards earned a best actress award for Frances McDormand, a supporting actor trophy for Sam Rockwell, and the SAG Awards equivalent of Best Picture award, the Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.
This Is Us took home the award for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series. Cast member Sterling K. Brown’s earned the best actor in a TV drama award and made history as he is the first black man to win in that category. Just two weeks ago, Brown became the first black actor to win a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a TV Series, Drama.
As he took the stage to accept his award, he said: “What an honor it is to be recognized by your peers for a job well done. This room is a source of endless inspiration for me. I love all of you… To my glorious cast of This Is Us, you feed me day in day out. You raise the bar. To my white family, which thankfully is nothing like the family from Get Out, I love you. To my TV wife Susan Kelechi Watson, let’s keep on repping for the people. To the two young actors that play Randall, to Lonnie (Chavis) and Niles (Fitch), thank you for making the work so easy and so seamless.”
Another highlight of the evening was Morgan Freeman’s acceptance of the Screen Actors Guild’s Life Achievement Award. One of the entertainment industry’s highest honors was presented to 80-year-old Morgan by Rita Moreno.
“These moments in life usually call for an entire litany of thank you’s. I can’t do that because I don’t know all of your names, so I won’t try,” said Freeman. “This is beyond honor. This is a place in history.”
On the movie side, the SAG Awards are considered to be a pretty good indication as of what is to come during the Oscars as the two share a hefty portion of its membership base. The facts speak for themselves: since the first-ever SAG Awards, 17 lead actresses and 19 leading men, have won both the SAG Award and the corresponding Oscar.
