For all those who have been engaged in awards shows and the technical issues of pandemic-era ceremonies, rest assured that the Screen Actors Guild Awards are doing things differently.
The eighty annual SAG awards kicked off Sunday night with the express purpose of combating inflation from the longest award season in recent memory with a previously recorded one-hour affair.
The ceremony, which is the only awards show voted entirely by the actors, renounces all traditional traps (no red carpet, no host, no set and definitely no subsequent parties) for a simplified and safe celebration of the COVID of the performances film and television. during the last year.
Although the actual awards were handed out in Zoom-style sessions with nominees days before the broadcast (the award-winning actors in the 13 categories had to sign non-disclosure agreements before the recordings), the rest of us couldn’t find out who won until the acceptance speech issued Sunday night.
But that doesn’t make this year’s field less competitive. “Minari,” which tells the story of a first-generation American Korean family who started back in the rural south; “Ma Rainey’s Black Background,” with performances by the late Chadwick Boseman and Viola Davis; and Spike Lee’s soldier drama “Da 5 Bloods” head the group with three nominations each.
As the lead singer of the best Oscar film, “Nomadland”, made no move to win the top prize of the night (the set of Chloe Zhao’s film are predominantly non-professional actors), the Outstanding Cast trophy is anyone’s game. Critically acclaimed films, including “Da 5 Bloods,” “Ma Rainey’s” Black Bottom, “and” One Night in Miami, “which were excluded from the Best Picture race at the Oscars, are vying for the award. , along with “Minari” and Aaron Sorkin, “The Trial of the Chicago 7.”
Meanwhile, Netflix’s “The Crown” and “Schitt’s Creek,” getting the final lap of victory after airing the much-lauded final season, lead the nominations among the television winners.
Aside from the winner announcements, the show will also feature its signature “I’m an Actor” stories with “intimate docuseries-inspired interviews” woven throughout the broadcast.
