After a near awards-season sweep by \u201cOne Battle After Another,\u201d \u201cSinners\u201d won best ensemble at the Screen Actors Guild\u2019s 32nd Actor Award on Sunday, setting up a potential nail-biter finale in two weeks at the Academy Awards.<\/p>\n
The guild\u2019s awards, formerly known as the SAG Awards, are one of the most closely watched Oscar precursors. Actors make up the largest slice of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and their choices at the Actor Awards often align.<\/p>\n
The victory for Ryan Coogler\u2019s blues-soaked vampire saga showed that it has a strong chance to win at the Oscars, too, despite a long run of awards for Paul Thomas Anderson\u2019s \u201cOne Battle After Another,\u201d including top prizes from the Golden Globes, the Producers Guild Awards, the BAFTAs and the Directors Guild Awards.<\/p>\n
Michael B. Jordan also won best male actor, upsetting the category favorite, Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, and handing the 39-year-old Jordan the most significant prize of his acclaimed career.<\/p>\n

Jordan’s win, for his performance in Ryan Coogler’s \u201cSinners,\u201d was one of several surprises. Even Jordan looked shocked as the Shrine Auditorium audience in Los Angeles rose to its feet.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wasn’t expecting this at all,\u201d said Jordan, who reflected on starting out as actor before he paused to appreciate the moment. \u201cYeah, man, this is pretty cool.\u201d<\/p>\n
As expected, Jessie Buckley won best female actor for her performance in \u201cHamnet.\u201d But the other actor races have been harder to call. On Sunday, Sean Penn won best supporting male actor for \u201cOne Battle After Another\u201d and Amy Madigan won best supporting female actor for \u201cWeapons.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 75-year-old Madigan, who had never before been nominated by the guild, was visibly surprised. Partway through her winding and charming acceptance speech, she looked down at the statuette.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s like when you were little and you had the Barbie and then you got Ken and whipped down his drawers and went, \u2018Hey, that\u2019s nothing,\u2019\u201d joked Madigan before apologizing for getting distracted.<\/p>\n
Catherine O’Hara posthumously won best female actor in a comedy series for her performance as a movie executive in the showbiz satire \u201cThe Studio.\u201d O’Hara died at the age of 71 on Jan. 30 from a blood clot in the lungs<\/a>. At the Shine Auditorium in Los Angeles, the crowd stood in a standing ovation for O’Hara after she was announced as the winner.<\/p>\n Seth Rogen, co-creator of \u201cThe Studio,\u201d accepted the award on her behalf. He recalled a passionate collaborator who would, the night before a scene, invariably send a polite email with suggested rewrites. Rogen said O’Hara \u201cshowed that you could be a genius and you could be kind.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIf you have people in your lives who don’t know her work,\u201d Rogen said, \u201cshow them O’Hara dancing to Harry Belafonte in \u2018Beetlejuice,\u2019 show them O’Hara hurting her knee in \u2018Best in Show\u2019 and doing that amazing thing where she hobbles around, and tell the people as they are laughing that that’s Catherine O’Hara and we were lucky that we got to live in a world where she so generously shared her talents with us.\u201d<\/p>\n With two weeks to go until the Academy Awards<\/a>, the 32nd Actor Awards<\/a> on Sunday are the final pre-Oscars showdown for \u201cOne Battle After Another\u201d<\/a> and \u201cSinners.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n The Actor Awards are one of the most closely watched Oscar precursors. Actors make up the largest slice of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the guild’s choices often align.<\/p>\n The ceremony, presented by the actors guild SAG-AFTRA, were streamed live on Netflix. Kristen Bell, returning as host, kicked off the show on a light, song-and-dance note despite the war in Iran and entertainment industry upheaval.<\/p>\n The Actor Awards were the biggest Hollywood bash since Paramount reached an agreement to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery for $111 billion. The merger, which awaits regulatory approval, sent shock waves through Hollywood. Netflix chief executive Ted Sarandos, whose company lost out to Paramount competing bid, walked the red carpet in jeans.<\/p>\n Before the ceremony began, the award for best stunt ensemble went to a Paramount release: \u201cMission: Impossible \u2014 The Final Reckoning.\u201d Among the TV awards, \u201cThe Studio\u201d won for comedy series and \u201cThe Pitt\u201d won for drama series. Individual winners included Keri Russell (\u201cThe Diplomat\u201d), Rogen (\u201cThe Studio\u201d), Michelle Williams (\u201cDying for Sex\u201d), Owen Cooper (\u201cAdolescence\u201d) and Noah Wyle (\u201cThe Pitt\u201d).<\/p>\n Paul Thomas Anderson’s \u201cOne Battle After Another\u201d came in the heavy favorite, having won at the Golden Globes, the BAFTAs, the Directors Guild Awards and at Saturday\u2019s Producers Guild Awards.<\/a> The film comes in with a record seven nominations<\/a> and is seen as the most likely winner of the night’s top award, best ensemble.<\/p>\n Harrison Ford was honored with the SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award, presented with warm sarcasm by Woody Harrelson. The 83-year-old actor said he was humbled.<\/p>\n \u201cI’m in a room with actors, many of whom are here because they’ve been nominated to receive a prize for their amazing work, while I’m here to receive a prize for being alive,\u201d said Ford, who called it \u201cthe half point\u201d of his career.<\/p>\n Ford teared up for much of his speech, reflecting on a career that he noted was \u201cnot an overnight success.\u201d He called the award \u201cvery encouraging.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI’m indeed a lucky guy,\u201d said Ford. \u201cLucky to have found my people. Lucky to have work that challenges me. Lucky to still be doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yakimaherald.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After a near awards-season sweep by \u201cOne Battle After Another,\u201d \u201cSinners\u201d won best ensemble at the Screen Actors Guild\u2019s 32nd Actor Award on Sunday, setting up a potential nail-biter finale in two weeks at the Academy Awards.
