The Screen Actors Guild held its annual awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday, where “Everything Everywhere All at Once” continued its momentum to win in several film categories, including Outstanding Ensemble and three out of four acting awards, a SAG first. Jamie Lee Curtis had already taken home a surprise trophy for supporting female in a motion picture and Ke Huy Quan took supporting male, indicating surging support. And then Michelle Yeoh took home lead actress honors, putting her in a strong position as the Oscar frontrunner.
The multiverse-hopping indie directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert entered the evening with the wind at its back, having taken home the top prize on Saturday at the Producers Guild Awards, indicating that the zany film is not polarizing voters as much as some feared. Its five SAG nominations tied it with “The Banshees of Inisherin” for the top spot among movie contenders, a film that sadly ended up with fecking nothin’.
Brendan Fraser’s Oscar path got paved a little easier with his leading dramatic actor win for “The Whale” (though it remains a competitive category with Austin Butler’s BAFTA win sneaking up on him).
On the television side were a few surprises right out of the gate: Jessica Chastain won Female Actor in a TV Movie or Limited Series for “George & Tammy” (she won the movie category last year for “The Eyes of Tammy Faye”) and Sam Elliott scored an impressive first-ever win for his Western drama “1883.” “Abbott Elementary” scored the Ensemble in a Comedy Series award for its debut season.
More predictably as the night progressed, the leading dramatic winners for acting were Jason Bateman for “Ozark” (a past winner) and Jennifer Coolidge for “The White Lotus”, who has won pretty much all of the precursors. Jean Smart won top honors for comedy series again, while “The Bear” newcomer Jeremy Allen White continued his hot streak with a best actor win.
