It was a night of history at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday as the first deaf actor and first Korean TV drama performers to take an individual trophy home won awards.
Film-wise, there were big, recognisable names – Will Smith won Best Actor for King Richard and The Eyes Of Tammy Faye's Jessica Chastain, though neither had been completely favoured. They've leapt
to become Oscar front-runners, though their categories are going to be hard to predict.
Two popular favourites won the Supporting Role trophies, as West Side Story's Ariana DeBose (surely a big potential come Oscar night) and CODA's Troy Kotsur both rode a wave of support to their respective titles. DeBose is the first queer Afro Latina to win an individual SAG, while Kotsur becomes the first deaf actor to win an individual SAG Award. And that wasn't his only trophy of the night...
The whole cast of the Apple-picked indie drama won the Ensemble prize for the film, which has been embraced as a heartfelt story.
On the TV front, Succession predictably scored Drama Ensemble, yet while Squid Game already made history with its nominations, stars Lee Jung-Jae and Jung Ho-Yeon won their awards for Best Male and Female Actor in a Drama Series.
Ted Lasso dominated more on the TV comedy side, as Jason Sudeikis won another award - Best Male Actor in a Comedy Series, the cast as a whole took home the Comedy Series Ensemble trophy.
Jean Smart nabbed yet another award for her performance in Hacks, which will mostly have British audiences continue wondering when they'll see the show. Her co-star in Mare Of Easttown, Kate Winslet, won Female Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series, with Dopesick's Michael Keaton taking Male Actor in that category.
And, announced before the event, the Stunt Ensembles went to No Time To Die and Squid Game, while Helen Mirren was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
