The entire award season is essentially all about celebrating actors, but there’s only one ceremony every year that’s voted on solely by the stars themselves: the 2020 Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Despite being shut out of the individual acting categories, South Korean director Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite triumphed at the 26th annual ceremony on Sunday, taking home the night’s top prize and making history as the first foreign-language film to ever win Outstanding Performance By A Cast In A Motion Picture.
The film beat out top contenders, including Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time In
Hollywood, Martin Scorsese’s three-and-a-half-hour mafia saga The Irishman and Jay Roach’s
Fox News drama Bombshell, which were the most nominated projects heading into the evening, as well as Taika Waititi’s dark
comedy Jojo Rabbit.
Since the SAGs are decided by active members of the SAG-AFTRA guild, a group that heavily overlaps with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voting pool, it is a key bellwether of who will win at the Oscars.It’s now all but certain that Joker star Joaquin Phoenix and Renée Zellweger from Judy will walk away with some little gold men of their own in February after taking home the lead
Actor trophies at the ceremony.
Laura Dern and
Brad Pitt also picked prizes for their respective performances in Marriage Story and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
Much to the disappointment of many fans, however, the ceremony didn’t redeem
Jennifer Lopez, who delivered a career-best performance in Hustlers, or Lupita Nyong’o, nominated for a terrifying dual performance in Us, after they missed out on Oscar nods, which were announced last week.Among television shows, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, starring Rachel Brosnahan, scored two of its four nominated awards ― Best Comedy Cast and an acting trophy for Tony Shalhoub.
FX’s Fosse/Verdon also fared well, making dual winners out of its leads Michelle Williams and Sam Rockwell. The Olivia-Colman-fronted The Crown, however, reigned supreme as the Best Ensemble in a Drama Series.
Leonardo DiCaprio presented screen legend Robert De Niro, who was snubbed in the Best Actor category for his performance in The Irishman, with this year’s Life Achievement Award at the ceremony to recognise his accomplishments on and off screen over his 54-year career.
