The winners of the 27th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards have been unveiled with The Trial of the Chicago 7 taking home the big award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. With this victory, Michael Keaton has become the first actor to be a member of three ensemble casts to take this award after his wins in 2014 for Birdman and 2015 for Spotlight. This is a huge boost for the film’s Best Picture campaign, though you’d still have to say Nomadland remains well out in front. Chadwick Boseman and Daniel Kaluuya expectedly won for leading and supporting role in the male acting categories for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and Judas and the Black Messiah, respectively.
In the moment of the evening, Youn Yuh-Jung took out the supporting female acting category for Minari, which now surely pushes her to the front of the pack for the Oscars. But the lead female acting categories threw a major curveball into this already-chaotic race by awarding Viola Davis with her sixth SAG Award for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. This means a different actor will have won Best Actress at the four major televised awards (given Davis, Golden Globe winner Andra Day, and Critics Choice winner Carey Mulligan aren’t nominated at the BAFTAs) and we will head into the Oscar ceremony without a clear frontrunner. Let the chaos begin.
