The 28th Screen Actors Guild Awards were notably border-breaking, with historic wins for deaf actors, Korean stars and some of Hollywood's biggest names.
Still, HBO's"Succession” ultimately reigned in the best drama series category. Cox fittingly accepted the award with an expletive printed on his face mask, and another uttered as he struggled to take it off. But Cox turned serious when discussing Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In the evening's bluntest remarks on the invasion, he noted that the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, was a comic — and thus a fellow performer.
Though the actors guild and the academy diverged last year when Aaron Sorkin's 1960s courtroom drama “Trial of the Chicago 7” topped the SAG Awards and “Nomadland” triumphed at the Oscars, the win for “CODA” suggests it's a major threat to win best picture over Kenneth Branagh's “Belfast” and Jane Campion's leading Oscar nominee “The Power of the Dog" .
Best actress has been a more difficult category to track. Many have seen Olivia Colman as the favorite to win her second Oscar. In an especially competitive category, those snubbed have often drawn the most focus. Kristen Stewart of “Spencer” was passed over by SAG, while Lady Gaga missed with the film academy.
“It’s indicative that doors are opening,” said DeBose, speaking to reports in a virtual backstage media room. “It’s an honor to be seen, it’s an honor to be an Afro-Latina, an openly queer woman of color, a dancer, a singer, and an actor. It's indicative to me that I will not be the last, and that’s the important part."
Some casts, citing quarantine regulations related to production schedules, attended remotely — including the lead television nominee, “Ted Lasso.” Appearing by video link with his castmates around him, Jason Sudeikis accepted the award for best actor in a comedy series. The Apple TV+ show was later named best comedy series ensemble.
