SAG Awards 2024: Winners are Lily Gladstone and Oppenheimer triumph, Succession Upset …details
….Oppenheimer, The Bear dominate 2024 SAG Awards winners
The Major TV winners from “The Last of Us,” “Succession, and “The Crown” joined leading Oscars contenders like Robert Downey and historic winner Lily Gladstone
Following a monumental year that saw a historic SAG-AFTRA strike halt Hollywood productions for months, the Screen Actors Guild banded together once again to honor the best film and TV performances of the year at the 2024 SAG Awards, with Oppenheimer and The Bear leading the night overall.
From steadfast Oscar contenders like Oppenheimer‘s heavyweight cast (Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr.) to TV juggernauts like the ensemble cast of Succession, the night’s champions gave performances that earned raves on screens big and small across the last year.
From the movies side, the Oppenheimer cast took the night’s highest honor for their collective work in Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster film, which is expected to win Best Picture at the Oscars next month. Murphy and Downey Jr. also won individual trophies, as did The Holdovers actress Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Killers of the Flower Moonperformer Lily Gladstone — the latter of whom pulled off a shocking upset over presumed frontrunner Emma Stone (Poor Things) just three days before final Academy Awards voting closes.
While Murphy, Downey Jr., and Randolph were predicted to win individual trophies at the SAG Awards before repeating in their respective categories at the March 10 Oscars, Gladstone’s victory over Stone in the Best Actress race puts a question mark over the performers’ final showdown.
Having, TV stars Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us) Elizabeth Debicki (The Crown), Beef leads Ali Wong and Steven Yeun, as well as The Bear stars Ayo Edebiri and Jeremy Allen White all won solo statuettes, with the casts of The Bear and Successionvtaking the ensemble prizes.
First out of the gate ahead of the ceremony’s kickoff, the stunt teams behind The Last of Us and Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning, Part One won for Stunt Ensemble in a TV series and Motion Picture, respectively.
Elsewhere at the SAG Awards, the show hosted an eclectic roster of presenters, including a Devil Wears Prada reunion featuring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Blunt, as well as several cast reunions for popular projects like Modern Family Breaking BadThe Lord of the Rings, and more.
The 30th annual SAG Awards took place across a live streaming ceremony — the awards body’s first-ever live show to debut on Netflix’s main platform, following a decades-long broadcast partnership with TNT and TBS that ended in 2022.
