The 27th Screen Actors Guild Awards were held tonight where The Trial of the Chicago 7, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Minari and Judas and the Black Messiah took home top motion picture awards and The Crown, Schitt’s Creek and Ted Lasso found themselves the television winners.
The show began with a skit from the Ted Lasso cast about being SAG-nominated and then transitioned into a simple clip package of “And the nominees are…” Throughout the one-hour show, actors like Helen Mirren, Jimmy Fallon, Daveed Diggs, Josh Gad, Sterling K. Brown and more participated in a very different version of the “I’m an Actor” segments.
The Trial of the Chicago 7 won the Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture award, with Frank Langella speaking for the cast and commemorating the anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom was a double winner with the late Chadwick Boseman taking Male Actor in Leading Role (his first individual win) and Viola Davis taking Female Actor in a Leading Role. It was her second win in this category and sixth win overall. Davis’s win here creates a most interesting situation when it comes to the Oscars. As she is not BAFTA-nominated, we will have a different winner for all four precursors going into the Academy Awards. Davis also introduced the In Memoriam, which began with Cloris Leachman and ended with Boseman.
All four acting wins in motion picture went to people of color for the first time ever, with Daniel Kaluuya (Judas and the Black Messiah) and Youn Yuh-jung (Minari) taking the supporting prizes. Youn is the first female winner at SAG for a non-English language performance.
The Crown took television prizes for its cast and for Gillian Anderson in Female Actor in a Drama Series, where she was nominated against two of her co-stars. Jason Bateman won Leading Actor, making the drama categories a clean sweep for Netflix. In comedy, Schitt’s Creek and Ted Lasso shared wins while The Queen’s Gambit and I Know This Much is True won awards for Anya Taylor-Joy and Mark Ruffalo.

Brown (This Is Us, Black Panther), Viola Davis (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Fences), Daveed Diggs (Hamilton, Snowpiercer, Blindspotting), Ethan Hawke (The Good Lord Bird, The Northman), Dan Levy (Schitt’s Creek, Happiest Season), Jason Sudeikis (Ted Lasso, Saturday Night Live) and the ensemble from Ted Lasso; along with Lily Collins (Emily in Paris, MANK), Common (Selma, The Hate U Give), Ted Danson (Mr. Mayor, Curb Your Enthusiasm), Cynthia Erivo (Genius: Aretha, Harriet), Jimmy Fallon (The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon), Josh Gad (Avenue 5, Central Park), Henry Golding (Snake Eyes: G.I.
