29th Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards: ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ makes history with four wins

---

The 29th Screen Actors Guild Awards were handed out tonight where A24’s Everything Everywhere All At Once swept with a history-making four wins: Cast, Female Actor in a Leading Role, Male Actor in a Supporting Role (Ke Huy Quan) and Female Actor in a Supporting Role (Jamie Lee Curtis).

The evening rounded out a banner week of major guild season accolades for the film that started with the DGA last week and PGA last night. Michelle Yeoh’s win represented the first win for an East Asian actress in the category and Quan’s win was the first ever for a male Asian actor in any acting category. Jamie Lee Curtis was a bit of a surprise win after losing the Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice to Angela Bassett (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) and the BAFTA to Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin).

When you add Brendan Fraser’s win for The Whale in Male Actor in a Leading Role, it marks the first time in SAG history that a single studio won all five top acting awards (stunt ensemble aside, which went to Paramount Pictures’ Top Gun: Maverick), giving the studio its best awards showing since it’s Oscar-winning 2016 film Moonlight.

On the opposite outcome end, The Banshees of Inisherin lost all five of its bids tonight, making history itself as the only film to earn that record-tying number of nods and go home empty-handed.

The ceremony, which lost its television partner TNT after 25 years with the Warner Bros/Discovery+ merger was broadcast live for the first time ever on Netflix’s YouTube channel, YouTube.com/Netflix from the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles. The SAG Awards and Netflix announced an official partnership and the streamer will begin airing the ceremony live on Netflix beginning next year. The ceremony was largely the same as previous network versions but in place of commercials and advertising the SAG Awards opted for five extended montages ranging from previous iterations of the “I Am an Actor” openings, “And the Actor Goes to…” and “The Power of the Union.” At no less than three different spots, actors Adam Scott, Diego Calva and Ariana DeBose asked attendees to take their seats as mingling during the montages became visible, and loud, on camera. One advantage streaming took over network was the lack of a bleep button, with several actors taking a chance to give a good ‘Fuck!’ in their speeches.

The television categories were far less diversified than motion picture with only The White Lotus taking more than one award (Ensemble and Jennifer Coolidge as Female Actor in a Drama Series). Jeremy Allen White won Male Actor in a Comedy Series for The Bear and Abbott Elementary won Comedy Ensemble. The night started with two shock wins: Jessica Chastain for Female Actor in a Limited Series (for George & Tammy) and Sam Elliott as Male Actor in a Limited Series (for 1883). It was Chastain’s third SAG win and Elliott’s first. Jason Bateman also earned his third SAG win, all for his leading role in Ozark.

SAG, Oscar and Emmy-nominated actor Andrew Garfield presented the 58th SAG Life Achievement Award to SAG Award and Oscar-winning actress Sally Field. He previously worked with Field in The Amazing Spider-Man films.

Presenters include: Quinta Brunson (Abbott Elementary), Janelle James (Abbott Elementary), Jenny Slate (Everything Everywhere All At Once), Orlando Bloom (Carnival Row), James Marsden (Dead To Me), Mark Wahlberg (Me Time), Emily Blunt (The English), Jessica Chastain (George & Tammy), Don Cheadle (White Noise), Caleb McLaughlin (Stranger Things), Paul Mescal (Aftersun), Ashley Park (Emily in Paris), Jason Bateman (Ozark), Jeff Bridges (The Old Man), Jenna Ortega (Wednesday), Aubrey Plaza (The White Lotus), Adam Scott (Severance) and Zendaya (Euphoria), along with SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher, Matt Bomer (Fellow Travelers), Ariana DeBose (West Side Story), Eugene Levy (The Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy), and Amy Poehler (Restless Leg Tour).
