Mark Wahlberg is being slammed for presenting a 2023 SAG Award to a predominantly Asian cast decades after brutally assaulting two Vietnamese American men.
Several critics took to social media to call out SAG-AFTRA, the labor union that puts on the awards show, for having the “Ted” actor hand out the trophy for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture to the stars of “Everything Everywhere All at Once” Sunday.
“Everything Everywhere All at Once” made SAGs history with a record four wins. The movie’s lead actress, Michelle Yeoh, also became the first Asian woman to take home Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role.
