8 things you missed from the SAG Awards
The Screen Actors Guild Awards gave movie buffs yet another taste of what to anticipate for the Oscars next month — and plenty of funny moments from Hollywood's biggest names. The Screen Actors Guild — American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, known as SAG-AFTRA, held its 31st awards ceremony Sunday at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. The event, which was streamed on Netflix, saw 'Conclave' win the night's top honor, best ensemble. Meanwhile, internet darling Timothée Chalamet took home best actor after coming up empty so far this awards season for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in 'A Complete Unknown.' And Demi Moore won for best actress — further sparking Oscars buzz after her win at the Golden Globes in January and the Critics Choice Awards on Feb. 7. Didn't catch the show? Here are some highlights from the night: 'Conclave,' starring Ralph Fiennes, Isabella Rossellini, Stanley Tucci, and John Lithgow, among many others, won big at the SAG Awards on Sunday night, taking up the top honor of best ensemble cast. The victory was met with a muted response from the crowd, who seemed surprised by the win before standing and applauding. Earlier in the night, the cast of the drama about the choosing of a new pope said they're hoping for Pope Francis to make a quick recovery as he remains in critical condition due to kidney failure. The victory added more confusion to what's already been an unpredictable award season as 'Anora,' 'The Brutalist' and 'Emilia Pérez' have all won big at other events. After the 'Conclave' victory Sunday night, it remains difficult to guess which film will win best picture at the Oscars in March. Fonda, who received a life achievement award, spoke at length during her acceptance speech about the importance of unions, particularly as she said workers' rights are under attack. She also mentioned that some actors have to empathize with traumatized characters they portray on screen — alluding to Sebastian Stan portraying Donald Trump in 'The Apprentice.' 'While you may hate the behavior of your character, you have to understand and empathize with the traumatized person you're playing, right?' she asked the room of actors. 'Make no mistake: Empathy is not weak or woke,' Fonda said. 'And, by the way, woke just means you give a damn about other people.' Yes, Bell — voice of Anna in the animated franchise 'Frozen' — decided to use her pipes for a parody of the 'Frozen' tune 'Do You Want to Build a Snowman?' called 'Do you want to be an actor?' The song poked fun at actors in their earliest (and slightly embarrassing) roles. Example — Kieran Culkin as the kid who wets the bed in 'Home Alone' and Jason Segel eating a watermelon. Culkin has been on a streak of luck this award season, taking home the top supporting actor prizes at the BAFTAs, Critics Choice Awards and the Independent Spirit Awards for his role in the buddy comedy-drama 'A Real Pain.' But, he didn't show up to those events to claim his awards. Culkin took the stage Sunday to claim his prize, admitting that he didn't prepare a speech. In Roman Roy fashion, he quipped about actors giving themselves the heaviest award compared to other events. (The physical weight of the statuette was mentioned several times throughout the night.) 'Believe it or not this actually means a lot to me,' he said. The star of 'A Complete Unknown' scored the biggest acting award of the night in what was a surprising twist, given that Adrien Brody of 'The Brutalist' has been cleaning up throughout the season with victories at the Golden Globes, the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs), and Critics Choice Awards. (In fact, earlier in the night, Culkin made a brief joke that Brody would win the award.) 'I was not expecting this at all, truly,' Chalamet said, adding that he hoped to emulate the legacies of actors like Daniel Day-Lewis, Marlon Brando and Viola Davis and sports legends like Michael Jordan and Michael Phelps. 'I know the classiest thing would be to downplay the effort that went into this role,' he said. 'The truth is, this was five and a half years of my life. I poured everything I had into playing this incomparable artist.' 'The truth is,' he added, 'I'm really in pursuit of greatness. I know people don't usually talk like that, but I want to be one of the greats.' Moore took home the top acting prize for her role in 'The Substance' on Sunday night. She and Mikey Madison (of 'Anora') have been trading off on wins so far, with Madison winning at the BAFTAs awards and the Independent Spirit Awards, while Moore has won at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards. In her acceptance speech, Moore spoke about her early days as an actress — reflecting on when she received her first SAG card when she was 15 years old. 'It changed my life because it gave me meaning, it gave me purpose, and it gave me direction because I was a kid on my own who had no blueprint for life,' she said. 'That little girl who didn't believe in herself. I just — the words are kind of beyond me, so I'm going to have to just say thank you.' 'Only Murders in the Building' had itself a pretty solid night, winning the award for best ensemble in a comedy series. While accepting the award, Gomez made the room laugh with her honest take on the victory. 'Wait, we never win!' she exclaimed. She then poked fun at her cast mates Steve Martin and Martin Short, who weren't in attendance. 'Marty and Steve aren't here because they don't really care,' she said with a deadpan. (For what it's worth, Martin recently said that Short got covid-19 at the 'Saturday Night Live' 50th anniversary special.) The awards show paired presenters like David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, who starred as Mulder and Scully on 'X-Files,' as well as Zooey Deschanel and Max Greenfield of 'New Girl.' Meanwhile, Keke Palmer and Colman Domingo asked everyone who'd been on a show in the 'Law & Order' universe to take a drink. Spoiler — quite a few people drank! Jada Yuan contributed to this report.
