Hey, Hollywooders! Did you tune in to last night’s Screen Actors Guild Awards?
No worries, we’re here to share all of the HollyGOOD highlights.
What are the SAG Awards?
The Screen Actors Guild Awards is an annual awards show presented by SAG-AFTRA, which represents over 160,000 in the performance industry including actors, broadcast journalists, dancers, news writers, and more. Members are described as “ the faces and voices that entertain and inform America and the world.”
The SAG Awards presents 13 awards for outstanding performances in Hollywood movies and television, focusing on both individual actor and ensemble performances. Many view the winners of the SAG Awards as potential Oscar award winners, too.
This esteemed award show has a HollyGOOD cause too: the SAG-AFTRA Foundation. The foundation has raised and granted over $6.5 million in disaster relief to over 7,000 SAG-AFTRA members who urgently needed assistance due to the pandemic and corresponding industry shutdown.
This year’s SAG Awards was one for the record books
For the first time ever since the awards show was introduced in 1995, all four film acting awards went to people of color.
This year, the late and great Chadwick Boseman ties the record for the most Actor Nominations in a single year for his male support role in Da 5 Bloods, his lead role in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, and for being part of the ensemble for both films. He holds the tie with Jamie Foxx who received four Actor nominations in 2005 for Ray, Collateral, and Redemption: The Stan Tookie Williams Story, and with Maggie Smith for The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Downton Abbey.
No SAG awards red carpet, but celebs still slayed at home
Here are just a few HollyGOOD looks worth celebrating, I type as I work from my couch in loungewear. Maybe I should try dressing up every now and then, huh?

Outstanding quotes from 2021 SAG Award winners
Each one of these Hollywood actors left us with some inspiring words.
“Oh, my God…Thank you to George C. Wolfe and Denzel Washington, Todd Black, Jeremy Shamos, John Coyne, Dusan Brown, Taylour Paige, Glynn Turman, and Michael Potts, Colman Domingo, the beautiful Chadwick Boseman. Thank you, August [Wilson], for leaving a legacy to actors of color that we can relish for the rest of our lives.” – Viola Davis
“You know, acting, it doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It happens between people. And a magical place created by a director, like Derek Cianfrance, and a writer, like Wally Lamb. Mental illness is a real thing. And I just think it’s really important that we’re honest and open about it and have no fear and have no shame.” – Mark Ruffalo
“I don’t know how to describe my feelings, I’m being recognized by Westerners. Oh, it is very, very honored. Especially by my actor fellow, choose me as a supporting actress. I don’t know. Am I saying right? My English is not good? I’m very pleased and happy. And thanks to SAG-AFTRA. I’m sorry, everything is not familiar. Thank you so much. Thank you, Olivia, and Glenn Close, Maria [Bakalova], and everybody. Thank you.” – Yuh-Jung Youn
“I share this light with all the nominees. Like everyone who was part of making Judas and the Black Messiah, you can’t make a film without an incredible group of people that come together and want to say a truth. You know what I’m saying, so I want to share this with LaKeith Stanfield, Dominique Fishback, to Jermaine Fowler, and all the incredible day players that show up. And Chairman Fred Hampton for guiding us and showing us his power, even though 52 years later. This one’s for Chadwick Boseman and this one is for Chairman Fred Hampton.” – Daniel Kaluuya
“Thank you so much to SAG-AFTRA and to all of my fellow nominees, Laura [Linney] and Julia [Garner], and Queenie Olivia [Colman], who has won every award under the sun. And to Emma [Corrin], you deserve this along with me for such a mature and accomplished performance. And to the entire Crown ensemble, who in my eyes has not got enough attention for all of the depth that you bring to every episode. And that’s Helena Bonham Carter, and Tobias Menzies, and Josh O’Connor, and Erin Doherty, and Marion Bailey, and Charlie Edwards, and, of course, Stephen Boxer, my very own DT. And thanks to all of you for making this experience special. And last but never least, Peter Morgan, for creating so many multidimensional roles for all of us actors to sink your teeth into and win awards for. And thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.” – Gillian Anderson
“I’m so unbelievably honored to be even in this room, even though it’s not a room, it’s all mental. But you know what I mean. It was such a privilege every single day to get to work with the playmates that I got to work with. They were so peaceful and supportive and kind…And a show isn’t made by one person. It’s made by everybody. And I’m just so, so grateful that I get to do this.” – Anya Taylor-Joy
“God give us leaders, said the Reverend Martin Luther King before he was shot down in cold blood on this very date in 1968. A profound injustice. The trial of the Chicago Seven began 18 months later, ruled by a corrupt judge –– me. Aaron Sorkin was determined to tell their story, and his loving and respectful direction transformed a group of disparate actors into an ensemble. Reverend King was right, we need leaders to guide us toward hating each other less. We owe a debt of thanks to the voices of the Chicago Seven, and most especially, Aaron Sorkin, our leader whose voice is the soul of this movie.” – Frank Langella
“I am sure that they would all agree that the biggest thank yous go to the health care workers attended to us all during this last year and the miracle work from the scientists that have given us the vaccines that are not only going to let us continue making fake life, but most importantly, the real life that we’re all yearning to get back to. So this is dedicated to them. And everybody go get your shot and let’s all get back to normal. Thank you.” – Jason Bateman
“I share this with Annie Murphy. I’m flattered anyone might believe I could be her mother. Annie is a beautiful soul. And of course, for Eugene and Daniel Levy and their amazing writers. Their hilariously empathic storytelling gave me and everyone in the town from which I am currently estranged, every possible chance to love, be loved, make happy fools of ourselves, and blossom into the best we could be. And as if that wasn’t enough, know this. Thank you.” – Catherine O’Hara
“If you see the world unbalanced, be a crusader that pushes heavily on the seesaw of the mind. That’s a quote by Chadwick Boseman. Thank you, Screen Actors [Guild]. Thank you, Chad. Thank you.” – Simone Ledward Boseman on behalf of Chadwick Boseman
One theme is common throughout all of the acceptance speeches: an actor’s performance requires collaboration with other actors and filmmakers, and also a collaboration with you, the audience. If it weren’t for regular people like us, the movies and TV shows we love wouldn’t exist. I don’t know about you, but that makes me feel pretty special, and takes some of the guilt away from my weekend binge-watch sessions.
We can’t wait to see all of the looks and hear all of the acceptance speeches by actors at the 2021 Oscars in just a few weeks!
