The 30th Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards were given out on Saturday night, Feb. 24, 2024 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, the ceremony streaming on Netflix, paving the way for a better idea of how the acting
SAG-AFTRA gives out five awards in its motion picture categories and eight for television programs with two stunt categories, one each for motion picture and television, and the timing of its show in the middle of the Oscar voting period is no coincidence since winners who give stirring speeches could influence Academy members to vote one way or another, although only the Leading Actor categories fully line-up between the two groups.
Christopher Nolan‘s Oppenheimer continued to clean up, winning three SAG Awards in the motion picture category for Best Ensemble, as well as individual SAG Awards for Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr in the Lead and Supporting Male Actor categories. Downey has been the frontrunner for the Supporting Actor Oscar for many months, but Murphy has had some stiff competition from The Holdovers‘ Paul Giamatti, who won the Golden Globe in the musical/comedy category. Murphy’s SAG win follows up his BAFTA win last week.
Lily Gladstone won the SAG Award for Female Actor for Killers of the Flower Moon, continuing her neck-and-neck back-and-forth wins with Emma Stone, who last week won the BAFTA for Poor Things.
On the other hand, Da’Vine Joy Randolph‘s SAG win clinches her frontrunner status to win the Oscar in two weeks, also for The Holdovers.
As far as the television categories, many of them went in a similar direction as the recent Golden Globes and the delayed Emmy Awards
The Bear won all three comedy series SAG Awards, Steven Yeun and Ali Wong both won for Netflix’s Beef, but exceptions were made in the drama categories with Pedro Pascal winning for HBO‘s The Last of Us for Best Actor in a Drama Series, rather than one of the male leads from Succession. Elizabeth Debicki won the respective award for her work on The Crown, following her Golden Globe win last month. Succession did go onto win Best Ensemble for a Drama Series, though.
The Last of Us won the SAG Award for Stunt Ensemble, while Tom Cruise‘s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1 won the corresponding stunt
