“Everything Everywhere All At Once” was the big winner Sunday evening at the 29th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, capturing trophies in four of the five categories in which it was nominated — including Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, SAG’s equivalent of the Oscars’ Best Picture.
The time-bending drama also scored trophies for Michelle Yeoh for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role; Jamie Lee Curtis for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role; and Ke Huy Quan for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role.
Brendan Fraser won for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role for “The Whale” to round out the major awards for motion pictures.
On the small screen, “The White Lotus” captured two awards, including Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series and Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series — to Jennifer Coolidge.
“Better Call Saul,” “The Crown,” “Ozark” and “Severance” were the other nominees for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a television drama series.
“Abbott Elementary” won for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series, while Jason Bateman took home the trophy for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series for his performance in “Ozark.”
For outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series, the other nominees were “Barry,” “The Bear,” “Hacks” and “Only Murders in the Building.”
“The Banshees of Inisherin,” the Irish tale of a deteriorating friendship, had also been nominated in a leading five categories, including outstanding cast, but was shut out. “The Fabelmans,” Steven Spielberg’s largely autobiographical movie about his early life dreaming of becoming a filmmaker, was also blanked after being nominated in two categories, including performance by a cast. Also nominated for outstanding cast were “Babylon” and “Women Talking.”
The SAG Awards are often considered by performers as being among the most cherished Hollywood honors, because they are voted upon and awarded exclusively by other actors. The awards are also strong predictors of who will win the performance prizes on Oscar night.
During the ceremony at the Fairmont Century Plaza hotel, Sally Field also received a SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award, which was presented by her “Spider-Man” co-star, Andrew Garfield.
The ceremony, which has traditionally been broadcast on TBS/TNT, was streamed this year on Netflix’s YouTube channel. Beginning next year, the SAG Awards will be livestreamed on Netflix.
