The SAG Awards are the latest major ceremony to name its winners as this year’s awards season slowly nears its end. The indie drama CODA pulled a major upset and won the biggest award of the night, while Succession and Ted Lasso came out victorious in the TV categories.

CODA was going against Belfast, Don’t Look Up, The House of Gucci, and King Richard for the biggest award of the night—an outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture. It managed to walk away with this award, while one of its stars Troy Kotsur won the trophy for the best supporting actor.

The rest of the individual acting awards made it easier to predict the rest of the Oscar race and went to some of the front-runners. Will Smith won the best actor award for King Richard, Jessica Chastain was named best actress for The Eyes of Tammy Faye, and Ariana DeBose was awarded for her supporting turn in West Side Story.

Succession and Ted Lasso were clear favorites for the ensemble awards in the TV field, and they lived up to our expectations. Squid Game was also one of the biggest winners of the night with three awards, including best actor and actress in a drama (Lee Jung-jae and Jung Ho-Yeon), and best stunt ensemble.

This year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards were held on February 27th at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.
