The 24th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were handed out in Hollywood last night (January 21), complete with a hosted ceremony for the first time ever. Kristen Bell held the inaugural honour, cracking jokes about the narcissistic nature of actors and the hellish vibes of 2018 so far.
Although attendees forwent the symbolic statement of wearing black, à la the Golden Globes, the awards show did attempt to place an emphasis on female voices with a cast of women-only presenters.
Notably, Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series nominee Aziz Ansari was absent from the event in the wake of recent allegations of sexual misconduct. Despite facing his own allegations of sexual misconduct and backlash for his recent Golden Globe win, Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role James Franco was present. He did not win in his category.
Amongst the night's big winners were Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, which took home wins in Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for Frances McDormand, Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role for Sam Rockwell and Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.
This Is Us triumphed in the dramatic television categories, taking home the prizes for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series for Sterling K. Brown, as well as Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.
Big Little Lies, meanwhile, received acting awards for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries for Alexander Skarsgård and Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries for Nicole Kidman.
As for the comedic side of things, Veep was the night's big winner, taking home the awards for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series thanks to Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.
Additionally, Morgan Freeman was presented a lifetime achievement award.
