The Trial of the Chicago 7 won the Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture prize, SAG’s version of Best Picture, at the 27th annual SAG Awards on Sunday night. It was one of 13 awards honouring the year’s best film and TV acting performances.
The late Chadwick Boseman and Viola Davis took the best leading male and female actor in a motion picture honors for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. In the supporting actor category, Yuh-Jung Youn took the trophy for Minari and Daniel Kaluuya for his role as Fred Hampton in Judas and the Black Messiah.
Among the movie categories, the marquee ensemble prize is often an Oscar bellwether. Last year, Neon’s Parasite surprised with a win and it later repeated the feat by taking the Academy Awards’ Best Picture prize.The Trial of the Chicago 7 faced off against Da 5 Bloods, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Minari and One Night In Miami for the top film award.
On the television side, Netflix’s The Crown took the Drama Ensemble prize for the second consecutive year and The Crown‘s Gillian Anderson won for female lead actor in a drama series for her performance as Margaret Thatcher. Schitt’s Creek, which swept the Emmy comedy series categories, took the Comedy Ensemble trophy, as well as Female Lead Actor in a Comedy for Catherine O’Hara. Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis added a SAG award to his Golden Globe win for lead actor in a comedy series. On the lead acting drama side, Jason Bateman snagged the award for his role as Marty Byrde in Ozark.
