In an upset, the deaf family drama 'CODA' took top honors at an unpredictable and history-making 28th Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Netflix's"Squid Game," the first non-English language series nominated by the actors guild, came on strong with three awards, including Lee Jung-jae for best male actor in a drama series and Jung Hoyeon for best female actor in a drama series. Those wins came over the likes of"Succession" stars Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong, and Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston of"The Morning Show.
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.
The SAG Awards are considered one of the most reliable predictors of the Academy Awards. Actors make up the largest percentage of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, and their picks often align. In 2020, when the cast of"Parasite" and Brad Pitt won, they matched exactly. SAG's track record may also mean Will Smith, star of the Williams family tennis drama"King Richard," is heading for his first Oscar. Smith took best actor, scoring his first SAG award.
