With The Golden Globes done, and Oscars right around the corner, it was time for the 31st Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards that celebrates the best performances in films and television in 2024. With winners selected by the guild members, more often than not, this is considered to be a sign of things to come at the Academy Awards. An interesting lineup of films and television shows are in the race, which makes it all the more difficult to zero in on a winner considering the variety in genres. The show, which was streamed live on Netflix, was hosted by second-time host Kristen Bell, who was chosen to be the first person to host the SAG awards in 2018. It was the first time SAG had a host in its then 23-year-old history.ALSO READ: SAG Awards 2025 Nominations: Wicked and Shogun dominate; Timothee Chalamet’s A Complete Unknown among top contendersApart from celebrating the winners in the respective categories, the SAG Awards also expressed its love for the city of Los Angeles, which is recovering from the torrid forest fires in January. The lifetime achievement award was presented to Jane Fonda, who received it from Julia Louis Dreyfuss. While Conclave took home the best ensemble cast prize in films, Shogun and Only Murders in the Building took home the same in television (drama), and television (comedy) categories. It was a rather interesting turn of events as Timothee Chalamet took home the Best Actor (Male) prize for A Complete Unknown, and broke the streak of Adrien Brody and Ralph Fiennes, who have been the favourites this award season for their performance in The Brutalist and Conclave, respectively.Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading RoleTimothée Chalamet, A Complete UnknownOutstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading RoleDemi Moore, The SubstanceOutstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting RoleZoe Saldaña, Emilia PérezOutstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting RoleKieran Culkin, A Real PainOutstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion PictureConclaveOutstanding Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Motion PictureThe Fall GuyStory continues below this adOutstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Limited SeriesColin Farrell, The PenguinOutstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Limited SeriesJessica Gunning, Baby ReindeerOutstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama SeriesHiroyuki Sanada, ShōgunOutstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy SeriesMartin Short, Only Murders in the BuildingStory continues below this adOutstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy SeriesJean Smart, HacksOutstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama SeriesShōgunOutstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy SeriesOnly Murders in the BuildingOutstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama SeriesAnna Sawai, ShōgunOutstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Television SeriesShogunALSO READ: Indian story at the Oscars: Does ‘Anuja’ reinforce Western cliches about poverty in developing nations?Story continues below this adWhile the SAG awards did unfold on expected lines, it did have a few surprises that change the odds of the Oscar winners, who will be announced on March 3 (IST).
