The 30th annual SAG Awards were held in Los Angeles on Saturday night (February 24th)—marking the first time an awards show streamed live on Netflix. Though the ceremony had no host, Idris Elba kicked things off and made mention of the SAG-AFTRA strike last year. He honored “all of you both here and at home that stood up for SAG-AFTRA in solidarity and support.”
In the same vein, SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher gave a powerful speech later in the evening, telling union members: “You survived the longest strike in our union’s history with courage and conviction. The journey was arduous, it came with great sacrifice and unrelenting stress. Your solidarity ignited workers around the world, triggering what forever be remembered as the hot labor summer.”
The big winner of the evening for film was Oppenheimer, taking home three awards in total. Alongside Best Ensemble Cast in a Motion Picture, Cillian Murphy won the award for Best Male Actor in a Leading Role in a Motion Picture while Robert Downey Jr. won Best Male Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture.
