The Screen Actors Guild’s rebranded Actors Awards<\/a> looked to put an exclamation point on the Oscar race, propelling some favorites and elevating some perceived long-shots during an entertaining ceremony Sunday.<\/p>\n In that latter category was the night’s biggest shocker: Michael B. Jordan<\/strong> winning lead film actor for his dual roles as the Smokestack twins in Sinners<\/em>. Jordan beat the presumptive favorite, Marty Supreme<\/em>‘s Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet<\/strong>, in a win that suddenly shakes up the Best Actor Oscar race. Jordan returned to the stage moments later with the entire Sinners<\/em> cast, which captured the night’s biggest award, film ensemble, over a field that included fellow Oscar contenders\u00a0Frankenstein<\/em>, Hamnet<\/em>, Marty Supreme<\/em>, and the film Ryan Coogler<\/strong>‘s vampire epic hopes to upset at the Academy Awards: One Battle After Another<\/em>.<\/p>\n More from Gold Derby<\/strong><\/p>\n On the other hand, the inevitable Jessie Buckley<\/strong> nabbed lead actress for Hamnet<\/em>, her latest stop<\/a> in what, if precedent holds, will culminate in a trip to the Academy Award podium in two weeks.<\/p>\n Sean Penn<\/strong>, who skipped the ceremony, got One Battle After Another<\/em> on the board, scoring for supporting actor a week after he no-showed for this BAFTA win. Penn is now well-positioned to win his third Oscar despite running an apathetic campaign. Amy Madigan<\/strong>, who was<\/em> present, got a standing ovation as she won her first Actor Award<\/a> for her supporting turn as the creepy Aunt Gladys in Weapons<\/em>.<\/p>\n While all those actors celebrated, cast members from another major contender suffered a drubbing for the second weekend a row: Marty Supreme<\/em> failed to score any Actor Awards days after being blanked at the BAFTAs, putting Chalamet’s Oscar run suddenly on shaky ground. Aside from Marty<\/em>, Frankenstein<\/em> also went 0-for-3 on the evening.<\/p>\n
