SAG Awards 2016

The Screen Actors Guild Awards took place in Los Angeles on Saturday evening and there was the regular accolades for Leonardo DiCaprio and Brie Larson who have dominated the award season so far and also Idris Elba scored big on the night too. 

Elba was definitely a happy man after winning the Outstanding Performance By A Male Actor award for his superb role in BEASTS OF NO NATION and then the British actor went on to win Outstanding Performance By A Male Actor In A TV Movie or Miniseries for LUTHER. That’s a nice tip of the hat by his fellow peers after controversially being overlooked entirely for the Oscars. 

Idris Elba was naturally very pleased with his accolades from the event, as we see in the Vine below:

The top award went to SPOTLIGHT for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture, about the Boston Globe’s expose of a network of paedophile priests. Michael Keaton dedicated the award to “the disenfranchised everywhere, for every Flint, Michigan in the world, for the disadvantaged and the powerless”. He added: “There’s fair and there’s unfair and I’m always going to vote for the good guys.”

Leonardo DiCaprio is an unstoppable force on the award season train and once again his outstanding performance was recognised at the ceremony as he picked up the Best Actor gong. Surely now, with the BAFTAs ahead and the Academy Awards, the actor may make a clean sweep and finally take home the coveted Oscar award that has eluded him during his impressive career?

Brie Larson was also becoming use to accepting awards after winning once again the Best Actress award for her stirring performance in ROOM. She was delighted to win the award and gave her young co-star Jacob Tremblay a quick hug before taking to the stage to receive her prize. It looks like she may bag the Oscar award too, we certainly think she is the frontrunner for that one too.

The TV awards saw streaming sites dominate, with Netflix’s Orange is the New Black taking two awards and Jeffrey Tambor taking outstanding performance by a male actor in a comedy series for his lead role as a transgender woman in Amazon Prime’s TRANSPARENT. Tambor dedicated his award to the transgender people who don’t have the wealth and privileges of his character, “for their operations, for their medicines, for their freedom”.

Winning outstanding performance by a female actor in a drama series, Davis gave arguably the most stirring speech of the night, saying: “People are always saying, ‘Wow, Annalise is an anti-hero. Don’t you worry she’s not likable? Don’t you worry that she’s not a mentor?’ And I always think: ‘Why do I have to be a hero? Why do you have to like me? Why do I have to be a mentor?’ My job as an actor is to create a human being to the best of my ability. Flawed, messy, maybe not always likable. Maybe not cute. But it is my job and I do it to the best of my ability and I get so much joy out of being an actor.”
