The 2024 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards happened on Saturday night, making history with its first-ever live stream on Netflix and celebrating the best performances of 2023.
One month after winning an Emmy, Critics Choice Award, and Golden Globes Award, Nigerian-American actress and comedian Ayo Edebiri took home the SAG award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series category for her hilarious role as Sydney Adamu in “The Bear.” While accepting the award, Ayo Edebiri shared,
This is insane. Okay, I’m so grateful. I’m really, really, really just grateful and I’m looking out at this room of people whose work moves me and motivates me and makes me feel and laugh, and I’m just so grateful to be here.
I’m so thankful to be nominated alongside some just incredible women and profound performances. And I’m going to butcher just really bastardize a James Baldwin quote because I heard it the other day but the act of love is just really an act of mirroring, and I think anything that anybody sees in me that’s worth anything is because of the people who love me and support me and it made me who I am.
And one of the biggest displays of that is The Bear, and the cast and crew of that show. I just wouldn’t be possible without you guys. You’re a miracle and I’m so grateful to be in your company. It’s made me a better person and I hope a better actor. Thank you so much.
The critically acclaimed series didn’t stop there, taking home the Best Comedy Series Ensemble and Best Male Actor in a Comedy Series awards.
Christopher Nolan‘s epic film “Oppenheimer” dominated the film category at the awards ceremony. It won the coveted award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. Cillian Murphy was awarded Best Actor, solidifying his leading man status. Robert Downey Jr. also added another trophy to his shelf by winning the Best Supporting Actor award.
In the leading actress category, Lily Gladstone won for her performance in “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Da’Vine Joy Randolph won the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in “The Holdovers.” “Succession” won the award for Best Drama Series Ensemble.
