]]>In a category dominated by POC-led movies, Aaron Sorkin’s The Trial of the Chicago 7 managed to come out victorious and pick up the award for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture. With this win, Michael Keaton became the first actor with three wins in this category, after winning with Birdman (2014) and Spotlight (2015).
This year’s SAG Awards were also a historic night for actors of color, who dominated all four acting categories in the movie field. Chadwick Boseman and Viola Davis were rewarded for their performances in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, while Daniel Kaluuya (Judas and the Black Messiah) and Youn Yuh-Jung (Minari) picked up the awards for their supporting roles.
The TV winners were much easier to predicts, and The Crown and Schitt’s Creek dominated the field with two wins each. Jason Sudeikis (Ted Lasso) and Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit) were also amongst the major winners and cemented their status as Emmy front-runners.
The SAG Awards brought several pretty unexpected wins that could upend this year’s Oscar race. The winners in some categories are even more difficult to call after this ceremony, but we’ll know who’ll come out victorious in just three weeks.
