Hello and Happy Easter! Hope you're enjoying the holiday, wherever you are and however you're spending it.
We're back to awards season, as last night (Sunday 4th April), was the 27th Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Unlike other awards ceremonies, SAG-AFTRA decided to pre-record the ceremony this year (meaning that the winners were known a few days in advance; and yet I didn't see any leaks anywhere- good job!) and an edited hour-long special was aired yesterday.
Here are the film winners:
Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture:
The Trial Of The Chicago 7
Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role:
Chadwick Boseman (Ma Rainey's Black Bottom)
Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role:
Viola Davis (Ma Rainey's Black Bottom)
Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role:
Daniel Kaluuya (Judas And The Black Messiah)
Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role:
Youn Yuh-Jung (Minari)
Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Film:
Wonder Woman 1984
It was a night of several firsts: when the nominations were announced, the late Chadwick Boseman set a record by being nominated for four different awards in the same ceremony (he was nominated for Best Actor for Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, Best Supporting Actor for Da 5 Bloods, and was named in the ensemble for both films' nominations for Outstanding Performance by a Cast). There were no surprises in him winning Best Actor here, and it looks good for his chances of winning the Oscar.
Youn Yuh-Jung's win makes her the first Asian winner, and first Asian female winner, of any individual SAG Award film category
Michael Keaton- who plays Ramsey Clark in The Trial Of The Chicago 7- has set a record by winning three SAG Awards for Outstanding Performance By A Cast In A Motion Picture (he was previously part of the winning ensembles for Birdman and Spotlight)
Whilst the Actor/Supporting Actor categories have been consistent across all awards given out so far (both Boseman and Kaluuya have taken the Golden Globes, the Critics' Choice, and the SAG Award), it's a much more open situation in the Actress/Supporting Actress categories.
Each of the three awards has gone to a different actress: Andra Day won the Golden Globe, Carey Mulligan the Critics' Choice, and Viola Davis the SAG Award; in the Supporting Actress category, Jodie Foster took the Golden Globe, whilst Maria Bakalova won at the Critics' Choice, and Youn Yuh-Jung here. There are still the BAFTAs and Independent Spirit Awards to go, but- unlike previous years, where the same four names came up at virtually every award- there's still plenty of scope for some surprises come Oscars night.
Over on the TV side, Schitt's Creek and The Crown won the Best Ensemble categories, with Catherine O'Hara and Gillian Anderson also winning Best Actress in their respective categories. The Mandalorian won Best Stunt Ensemble, whilst Jason Bateman and Jason Sudeikis took the Best Actor awards (for Ozark and Ted Lasso respectively)
Congratulations to all winners!
This coming weekend is a busy one for awards stuff, with the Directors' Guild Awards being given out on Saturday (10th April), whilst the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) are holding two ceremonies over the weekend, with "craft" awards given out on Saturday, and the other awards on Sunday (11th April).
