SAG Awards 2021

One moment was sublime.

Gillian Anderson used an American accent for her acceptance speech.

I’m so confused.

I love the Minari grandma winning!

Loved MInari and loved her!

I would not be surprised to see Minari win Best Picture at the Oscars.

Anyone catch Viola's very dramatic prose introduction of the IN MEMORIAM?

I didn’t know Brian Dennehy had died until I saw him in the In Memoriam piece. It was during the haze of the events of last April so the news escaped me.

Boring award season

Actors didn’t vote for Frances McDormand to win the SAG Award and a considerable amount of actors will not vote for Nomadland for the Best Picture Oscar for the exact same reason-it’s made up mostly of non-actors.

It's almost like this was a tough year for the film industry because of a global pandemic or something r7.

My God, Viola won Best Actress

Trial of the Chicago 7?

Really SAG....?

Most of the choices were very good and then Viola Davis and Chicago 7. WTF!

80% of the SAG voters are unemployed actors who think PERFORMING is acting. They oftentimes have offbeat winners and nominees.

"Trial" was really good. All the film actors who won were POCs, btw. Is that a first?

[Quote]All the film actors who won were POCs, btw. Is that a first?

Definitely.

Chicago 7 was a total no brainer. Say what you want about the film itself but that cast was fantastic from top to bottom.

Viola Davis was so terrible she ruined her film. It was the bad make up and the overacting combined. Giving her an award is a joke.

This show is one hour? Why even bother...

OP, I posted something similar regarding Boseman on DL and was immediately branded a racist. Good luck!

Who was Viola Davis' Marni Nixon?

R2 she always talks in an American accent when the audience is American.

Thank you OP and I will admit I think it's foolish to give awards to people who are dead.

I think the Oscar winners will be somewhat different. Only the Get Out guy has swept through the season. All the other awards are all over the place. At the least we truly don't know who will win a bunch of the major awards.

100% agree about Chadwick Boseman. But it doesn't matter because Twitter has decided that he's black Jesus.

If anybody finds a clip of their memoriam segment, please post it.

Black Panther was one of the biggest movies of all time and ground breaking in its own way.. His sudden death was a really big deal to people. Don't get how that is hard to understand.

R25 you need it with the dramatic introduction by Miss Viola Davis.

R26 500,000+ Americans died of an easily preventable disease,thats a tragedy. Boseman died of cancer,NOT a fucking tragedy. Sad,but not a tragedy.

Not even the virus can stop these pat on the back meaningless award shows.

r17, yet, hilariously, the Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild gave Ma Rainey their awards for Best Makeup and Best Hair Styling. Evidently it's now the Oscar frontrunner in that category.

Low-res version of the In Memoriam.

Whether you liked Chadwick Boseman's acting or not, he portrayed James Brown, Jackie Robinson and Black Panther in a short time frame leading up to his death. He was in the prime of his career and portrayed one of the most iconic comic book characters (Black Panther) so it's easy to see why so much has been made about his death.

[quote]I think the Oscar winners will be somewhat different. Only the Get Out guy has swept through the season. All the other awards are all over the place. At the least we truly don't know who will win a bunch of the major awards.

I hope Viola doesn't win an Oscar. I thought her performance was overrated as fuck.

Thanks R31. I had forgotten about many of those people

outrageous that viola and boseman won.....enuf of this woke crud over tru talent.

yay lasso and jason sudekis !!!

and jason bateman!

i jus dont get schitts creek, pure cornpone.

The Undoing got a nomination in any category?????? ok, i dont respect SAG anymore.

[quote] portrayed one of the most iconic comic book characters (Black Panther)

Black Panther was always a B or C lister in the comic book world. Storm and Luke Cage were way more important and popular than BP ever was until the movie.

[quote]I think the Oscar winners will be somewhat different. Only the Get Out guy has swept through the season. And he might get cancelled out by his fellow lead costar who, like him, got nominated in supporting.

SAG should be embarrassed and ashamed of itself for rewarding Boseman and Davis. Hopkins and Mulligan both gave masterclasses in acting. Enough of this woke bullshit.

On the bright side, I was happy for Chicago 7. Finally, white men win something!

That mess Mark Ruffalo won for, I KNOW THIS MUCH IS TRUE, was soo damn bad. god dam.

Thrilled the chick from the chess series won.....Queens Gambit

OMG daisey ridley almost looked fem in this show...

Kerry Washington so pissed she lost, funny.

[quote]outrageous that viola and boseman won.....enuf of this woke crud over tru talent.

Blacks are a tiny percentage of voters on these awards. Ask yourself why you think the majority white population feels so beholden to the minority. Perhaps they're trying to correct decades on injustice and marginalisation?

Praise lord the dad and son lost from Schitts Creek..

Ted Lasso is amazing.

OMG can someone please make that son of Eugene Levy go away. He is the most annoying queen currently anywhere. He's revolting and annoying as hell. And I know everyone is so gung ho on the stupid show which I've not been able to finish a season. It's so over the top and ridiculous and every single character was annoying.

Trial of the Chicago 7 winning was awesome! Great film.

R42, how does it work when voting for the awards? “Clearly, Anthony Hopkins is the better actor and he gave the best performance, but I will vote for Chadwick Boseman because it will ‘correct decades on injustice and marginalisation’“?

WHO IS KALEY CUOCO AND WHY IS SHE IN ANOTHER SERIES ?

agree, the levy kid is grosssss

Anyone else find Minari hugely ! over rated ?

R42: I have no problem with them correcting decades of discrimination but is handing out trophies on the basis of correct skin color the best way to do that? This woke bullshit that emphasizes diversity over skill and aptitude is now in colleges, corporations, schools, the entertainment industry, and even the military.

Trial of the Chicago 7 won because of great acting. That's what this award SHOULD BE awarded for. Not of other reasons.

R46 Boseman has the sentiment which will be impossible to derail. A lot of black actors in SAG which explained why Denzel won over Casey. Affleck ended up with the Oscar. And Viola winning tonight. Viola is respected so I can see her pulling off a second win with that GIVE ME A SECOND OSCAR performance. Mulligan has lost all momentum, so it’s going to be Andra Day or Davis now. It’s time anyway for another woman of color for the lead actress Oscar (only Halle Berry so far) Its really sad that Hopkins will lose the Oscar for that career capping performance to Boseman who was good but wasn’t a great actor yet.

Any show that awards Boseman or ms Davis i cannot respect. isnt it based on talent and not sentiment?

Minari and Trial of the Chicago 7 are my favorites. One small and one large in scale but both extremely effective. Almost all the other movies other than PYW, Sound of Metal and Nomadland were rather uneventful and without any new to show. I did also really enjoy The Father more than I thought I would. Everything else was mediocre to bad.

There are thousands of SAG-AFTRA members who pay their piddling dues and are thus eligible to vote for these awards. I don't buy the idea that there are thousands of members of varying political affiliation and socio-economic status who are in lockstep over voting for their peers on the basis of their ethnicity. Maybe they honestly felt these performances were worth of the nomination. Of course, many on DL think every vote for a person of color is an affirmative action vote.

Ma Rainey was a big fat mess.

Tried 3 times to watch the Father.....jut cant get thru the dreck.

Was rooting for Jared Leto. , just cause.

Minari was ok, but award material??

Glenn Close i love you.

Many awards (Oscars, Grammys, Tonys, Emmys, etc.) are won based upon sentiment and not necessarily talent. It is what it is.

The White Guilt Awards.

R.I.P Shirley Knight, Zoe Caldwell, Diana Rigg, Honor Blackman, Orson Bean, Cicely Tyson, Jessica Walters

Ma Rainey won for makeup? She looked sweaty the whole time.

Gillian Anderson's zero mostel version of Thatcher beat the others?? (the soft gel on her cam was amusing) fuzzywuzzy

GET REAL

R54 well this would explain the Denzel win when Affleck won everything else in sight that year. No I don’t think black actors vote every time for another black actor. But Denzel possibly and maybe Viola this year. Just enough but not everyone of color voting for them to put them over the top. Plus the Academy has roughly 10,000 members now. So when it comes to the Oscars, the results will surprise us more with more eclectic people voting.

god i hope u are right.

Do voters hate david fincher? Odd that Mank wasnt nominated for more.

Was Olivia Davis sposed to be playin Moms Mabley?

Carey Mulligan deserved the win.

Ma's Big Fat Bottom being nominated much less winning anything is fucking stupid. You don't have to be some big cinephile to know that was a piece of garbage shit that really had no purpose to being made. You don't really learn much about any of the characters outside of the fucking recording session where people shout, fight, fuck, kill and then shout some more. But fuck if you were not gonna show that bitch respect as she sweat out 10 bottles of Coke for you.

Yes Carey Mulligan did deserve the win.

Let’s hope the Oscars acknowledge this fact.

The Trial of Chicago Seven is a very hack film. It really turns to drivel by the end. The actors were solid but nothing special. But maybe compared to everything else it was superior. MamRainey was a filmed play where the actors were encouraged to overact. It didn’t work as a movie at all.

Why did we have to look at that talentless cow Rashida Jones?

Viola seems a little butch and her husband a little femme. Lavender?

I can no longer respect the SAGs after this stupid dispensing of awards based on non talent.

Chadwick chose to die in order to perform instead of getting treatment. I think he deserved all the praise and admiration he is getting, albeit posthumously.

Fuck you, fat heartless cunt OP. I WISH YOU GET FAT CANCER ONE DAY TO LEARN EMPATHY.

that show was impossible to watch........so boring.

I watched the in memorium and then fast forwarded the rest of it.

Chadwick Boseman's wife has made too many speeches.She should have done like Heath Ledger's family did. They let the director accept all the minor awards and then appeared at the Oscars in a very touching painful moment for them.

Boseman's wife has lost the impact of her words by appearing too much on these stupid zoom shows.

Pity he did not seek treatment and perform less, much less.....

I watched Hillbilly Elegy the other night. Glenn was awful. Like Meryl in August Osage County awful. She's only saved and not looking deranged by Amy Adams following down the fucking rabbit hole and doing the same. At least Roberts tried to bring down Streep from her high wire act and pry her away from the wallpaper and furniture she was swallowing whole in every given scene.

If merits were the factor in nomination for awards, the director of THE FATHER would have been nominated for Best Director instead of the director of that dreadfully boring stream of consciousness NOMADLAND.

Fat, insignificant people like R73 never know when they strike gold and find glory. Carry on being fat, auntie.

Did I win? I'm too cool to watch these stupid zoom chats. Never mind. Don't tell me. What does it matter.

I must admit, i was rather shocked at the drearyness of Nomadland, and the usual self conscious I AM ACTING of ms mcdormand

Is there any truth to that? Boseman didn't get treatment? (or is someone trolling)

Seemed like she was the only one not there....How Rude.

[quote]Chadwick chose to die in order to perform instead of getting treatment

When his death was announced his team wrote that he filmed during and between surgeries and chemo.

Lowest-rated SAGs ever, right?

It wasn't a real ceremony. It was like a Zoom work meeting.

Viewers are tuning out the award shows as they know who will be given the 'not based on merit' awards..

As award show go, this one was pretty well done, entertaining..

Boseman was good in Panther, but ma Rainey?

No.

Let’s face it with Boseman it’s going to be a career/look what a talented actor we lost type award. I still think Andra Day will edge out Viola for the Oscar. Day wasn’t even up for SAG, that’s why they defaulted to Viola. Carey is out of it now. No actress has ever gone on to win the Oscar without SAG and or Globe.

If Carey Mulligan does not win i shall rush the podium with wild abandon and denounce the shabby process of the Academy with zeal !

Best Actress is wide open. 4 women win. 1 is unlikely but the other three are in penalty kicks.

4 women *can win

I had to unblock OP when I saw they had started a SAG thread. Other posts from OP include outrage over other Black actors from previous years winning, outrage that the media is not covering George Floyd's criminal history as if that should be a factor if someone is executed without due process, and posts about missing Trump in office. They've even posted "I'm not a racist but..." I'm response to being called out for racist posts. I love arguing about who deserved the awards, who was snubbed, etc. I even agree that of the 5 males in lead (at least for Oscar) I would want Anthony Hopkins to win based on performances I preferred. It's fun to speculate and debate film awards. But we all know what OP is outraged about because, first and foremost they're just a racist.

*in response to

Sorry, got OP mixed up with R39. Sorry got my racists mixed up. They all just look the same.

Gotta love how the same people who bitch CONSTANTLY about the Oscars are now horrified that Chadwick Bozeman might win Best Actor and just can’t understand it or deal with it.

Fucking hilarious.

It's Hollywood handing awards out to itself, don't get all bent out of shape over any of it. The sun will rise in the East tomorrow whether Viola Davis snot-cries her way to another Oscar or not.

Milquetoast Mulligan will be fine after not winning anything. She's lucky that her career has lasted this long, as dreary as she is.

Mulligan has about two weeks to out victim St Vi so she better get her ass busy.

luv see them have some guts and give it to andra day......maybe they will.

May those god damned FDA agents who dogged Billie Holiday till the day she lay dying, rot in deep hell.

So is the old lady taking Best Supporting Actress over Glenn and Borat's Daughter?

Yaaasssss!!!! Fuck all you haters and fuck the overrated Miss Drew Carey. I earned the SAG and now the Oscar is MINE, baby. I have suffered but my snot crying won't go in vain.

Only one more Oscar to go before I catch up with that overrated bitch Meryl.

R96, you can’t out victim someone in 2 weeks.

R101 your constant drama queening is tired, McGowan. Watch me, learn from me. I am after all me!!

Who is winning BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS?

Every award show for the next 10 years will be about “making it right” and awarding non whites. No matter who’s better. I’ll check back in 10 years. Gervais will be hosting.

Oh hello

R103 Maria Bakalova. And SAG/GG are no longer the rule before winning an Oscar. Idris Elba and Emily Blunt won SAG but weren’t nominated for Oscars.

They should cancel all the awards shows this year

You Yuh-Jung just seems like Minari's best chance since Nomadland (Or Chicago 7) are taking Picture, Director and Screenplay. Bakalova's heat has cooled

I've already arranged counselling for G. straight after the Best Supporting Actress announcement. I'm concerned for her mental health when she looses again.

Dreary thread for racists

Glenn should pray they don't award her FOR Hillbilly. Her losing again will make her WIN for "SUNSET BOULEVARD" in 2023 all the more INEVITABLE!

R111 Sunset Boulevard is never happening with G. in the lead role.

they say its a done deal....prob streaming on hbo or sumthin like that.

The SAG voters have no taste. They all wait until the nominating period to watch anything - because they’re so cheap, poor and want to be able to brag that they’re voters - group think sets in very quickly. I’m sure the thinking was don’t vote for Nomadland - which a lot of them probably failed to understand - because it’s full of non-professional actors. At least they didn’t give it to Mulligan.

But they have no taste. They’d give more awards to Mariska Hargitay if they could.

R39? You sound really racist.

Glenn Close could win for Sunset on the strength of the poster alone. Please don’t make us watch the movie!

No Lifetime Achievement Award for the first time in 40 years.

R58, Walter, not Walters.

[quote] he portrayed James Brown, Jackie Robinson and Black Panther in a short time frame leading up to his death

Every generation gets the James Dean they deserve (although I like Boseman.).

Is Viola now the favorite for Actress?

In a year where Kurt Douglas, Sean Connery and Olivia DeHaviland die, Boseman gets the last spot. That is a disgrace.

I’m glad Jason Bateman won, liked his speech thanking health workers. Ozark really should have won for ensemble.

R44 Don't worry. This was the last awards show for Schitt's Creek so Dan Levy is going to have to come up with something new now.

R104 These shows will be gone in 10 years.

Why the hell was Viola's husband on screen with her ? No one wants to see him. He craves the spot light.

R106 untrue. There’s a huge overlap between globe, SAG and Oscar wins. Google is your friend.

R125 don't speak that way about Viola's beautiful Julius!

Since SAG merged with AFTRA, doesn’t that mean a lot of non-actor “talent” like news anchors, deejays, and tv weathermen are able to vote on this shit?

Meryl only has two SAG awards, disgraceful.

Yes, R128, so a lot of utter mediocrities with shit for taste like Gayle King get to vote.

Wait a minute, R130. What did you say? Gayle gets a vote? So why the FUCK have I not been awarded a Best Actress SAG yet? OK, that's it. Gayle is not getting any more pussy. Ever!

[quote] SAG should be embarrassed and ashamed

Remember, these are actors. There are incapable of begin embarrassed or feeling shame.

Why do you fuckers keep entertaining that psychotic racist? Why? Just FF him to hell. Enough of him already, and his numerous accounts.

I haven’t seen the movie Boseman was nominated for, so I can’t comment on whether it was deserved. But I have a lot of respect for him fighting his cancer battle privately. Too much drama with young stars today, if they stub their toe they can appear on Entertainment Tonight. He easily could have become a well respected star given the chance.

No-one is taking any award show this year seriously.

Who would want to win in such a discredited year?

NOT THEIR FAULT R135

It’s no one fault the pandemic happened and derailed many movies and plans. Grow up.

[quote]That mess Mark Ruffalo won for, I KNOW THIS MUCH IS TRUE, was soo damn bad. god dam.

The book that the mini-series is based is one of my favorites. I was disappointed with the adaptation and Ruffalo's acting. Ruffalo used to be a good actor, but he has tanked quality over the past several years.

Mark Ruffalo won the Emmy, SAG and Golden Globe for this performance. Clearly, a lot of people thought he was good in the role.

R137 I didn’t read the book but I watched the mini series. It seemed good to me I particularly liked the parts filmed in Italian.

Who will win Best Director?

Wow this is the lynch mob thread......

R140 Chloe Zhao Nomadland is the favorite

I thought Ma Rainy's Black Bottom was a total snooze I turned if off at 20 minutes

Of course you did r143. And you couldn't wait to tell us about it, right?

I liked Chadwick's performance in Ma Rainey, but Viola's was terrible. Overdone. She is the least interesting thing in that film, and she's the title character!

I do think Riz Ahmed gave a better performance than Chadwick. The "film a play" thing is tired and it is overacting.

I haven't seen all the performances of best actor, however. Still have to see Minari and The Father.

"No-one is taking any award show this year seriously.

Who would want to win in such a discredited year?'

You'd better take my Tony Award seriously!

[quote]The White Guilt Awards

Soon they’ll be handing out reparation checks instead of statuettes.

I could of made a small fortune selling brown/black bronze coloring to the white attendees.

Viola also won the SAG for The Help. One statue for her cunt and one for her asshole.

Excuse mx!?!?!

I thought we were all boycotting this show because of their horrible treatment of the thousands of brave non-binary actxrs?

Caucasian actors may as well give up on getting any awards for the next 5 years.

I think the two older guys in Ma Rainey were really good. Viola was miscast, really. But so many filmed plays this season... The Father, Ma Rainey, One Night in Miami, and even Chicago 7 felt like a play as trial movies tend to be.

And Jesus are these racists one person on here. Fuck, enough. If you thought you didn't like the performance just say that. We really know what you're saying.

And also of this was a normal year wouldn't you love to hear Laikeeth Stanfield and Steven Yeun gossip about their former costar Armie Hammer.

[quote] I do think Riz Ahmed gave a better performance than Chadwick. The "film a play" thing is tired and it is overacting.

Chadwick was great in his role. Ahmed wasn't bad but he could have done much more with the role. Or rather, he didn't distinguish himself in the role. Ahmed overwhelmed me with bug-eyed blankness.

[quote]No-one is taking any award show this year seriously. Who would want to win in such a discredited year?

Have you ever met an actor?

Ass cancer? How embarrassing.

Viola got too excited when she won. Throwing her hands up in the air. She's reached the point where she has so many awards she should do like Streep and react with false modesty.

"I just heard half of America say, her? again?"

R153 That's my trademark.

R129 Two too many.

[quote] Mark Ruffalo won the Emmy, SAG and Golden Globe for this performance.

Ruffalo has fallen into Jane Fonda territory. He wins not for his talent but for holding the correct political opinions.

R159 Difference being that Jane Fonda is actually intelligent and Mark Ruffalo is simply 'woke'.

Chad Bozeman had a ton of young fans and he died young. How is it surprising?

tht thing ruffalo is in is so bad my dogs wont even stand for it. wtf??? how that fug win so much??

miz viola ruined dat movie.

nomadland made me wanna kill myselfs....

minerva (sp?) the one bout the chinaman lookin fer water on hiz land was plum zzzzzzzzzzzz

I do admire that Ruffalo got his dong out for us when he was hot but lost respect for him when he said he was debating whether or no to go to the Oscars after OscarsSoWhite a few years ago (of course he went! ). And of course he was never bothered about the lack of inclusion until it became a scandal.

Viola was the favored to win for "The Help" after winning the SAG and said losing (to Meryl) was like being dropped from the 100th floor (drama queen!).

Of course that's before she lamented how insulting the role of a 1960s maid was for her to play so I guess her bestie Streep did her a favor.

If only awards were given for Best Actor Who Doesn't Annoy You With His Social Stances, R163.

how long u think this woke shit will rule the award shows? 5 more yrs?

theyr only 10% of the population!

[quote] If only awards were given for Best Actor Who Doesn't Annoy You With His Social Stances

Why should we even know what an actors social stances are?

My doctor doesn't tell me his. My lawyer doesn't tell me hers. My accountant does tell me zhe's.

my dr and i discuss politix alot.....

[quote] Why should we even know what an actor's social stances are?

You know what I learn when an actor tells me his social stances? I learn that the actor is probably a huge narcissist, and thus not a very nice human being.

I finally suffered through Hillbilly Elegy last night. How the FUCK did Amy Adams get a SAG nom for that piece of shit? Everyone is bagging on Glenn, but Amy should have gotten the Razzie. Glenn was fine. Not award worthy, but not Razzie worthy, either. Amy, OTOH, was downright embarrassing.

R170, when are the RAZZIES given out? Those are the awards to watch.

They usually happen the day before the Oscars.

Amy Adams ain't getting an Oscar anytime soon

I find it mind boggling that Adams has six Oscar nominations, and all in within 13 years.

R170 I thought Amy was great in this role, and Glenn too. Sure Glenn was chewing the scenery, but she was supposed to be.

R174 she really only has 3.5 nominations since 5 of them were Supporting.

Razzies are falling apart. They could barely afford a ceremony last year. Mean show, silly show. The should disappear.

[quote] I find it mind boggling that Adams has six Oscar nominations, and all in within 13 years.

She'll keep doing Oscar bait type movies for years in hopes of getting an Oscar. So far she hasn't played a disabled person in a Oscar bait movie so maybe she'll that soon.

Glenn and Amy need to do a Holocaust movie. Easy win.

adams alwys mystified me,,,,,glenn has talent, adams has big eyeballs....and zero talent.

"Razzies are falling apart. They could barely afford a ceremony last year. Mean show, silly show. The should disappear."

And lose moments like this?

The thing about the Razzies is that several years ago it stopped being about spotlighting the truly awful film work of a particular year and focused more on the creator's specific agendas or beefs with certain filmmakers or celebs or even political slants. Many of the nominations over the past 15 years or so are simply ridiculous. They're no fun anymore.

Sandra Bullock.

halle berry is known as a mean grouch.
