SAG Awards 2021: The Trial of the Chicago 7, Schitt’s Creek, The Crown win top honours; see full list
Viola Davis and the late Chadwick Boseman won Best Actress and Best Actor, respectively, for their performances in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.
Still from The Trial of the Chicago 7
The 27th SAG Awards, presented by the Hollywood actors’ guild SAG-Aftra, were a muted affair — and not just because the red carpet-less ceremony was condensed to a pre-recorded, Zoom-heavy, one-hour broadcast on US networks TBS and TNT.
This year all four major acting awards went to a group entirely of actors of colour, potentially setting the stage for a historically diverse slate of Oscar winners: Chadwick Boseman, best male actor for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom; Viola Davis, best female actor for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom; Yuh-Jung Youn, best female supporting actor for Minari; and Daniel Kaluuya, best male supporting actor for Judas and the Black Messiah.
In television categories, the ensembles of Schitt’s Creek (for comedy series) and The Crown (for drama series) added to their string of awards. Other winners included Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit), Gillian Anderson (The Crown), Jason Sudeikis (Ted Lasso), Jason Bateman (Ozark) and Mark Ruffalo (I Know This Much Is True).
