Black Panther, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Win Big at 2019 SAG Awards

Hollywood’s biggest names converged on the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles Sunday night for the presentation of the 25th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. The ceremony has honored exceptional performances in film and television since 1995.

The highlight of the night was the cast of Black Panther receiving Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, the SAG-AFTRA equivalent of a best picture award. This bodes well for the hit Marvel film’s chances at the Academy Awards later this year where it received seven nominations, including one for best picture.

The individual SAG awards for film went to Glenn Close, who was named best actress in a leading role for her work in The Wife, and Rami Malek, who won best lead actor for his turn as Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody. Emily Blunt won best supporting actress for A Quiet Place, and Mahershala Ali won best supporting actor for Green Book.

Meanwhile, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel took a victory lap in the comedy TV awards. In addition to the award for best ensemble cast, Rachel Brosnahan took home best actress for her role as the eponymous Midge Maisel, and Tony Shalhoub won best actor for his work as Midge’s father Abe Weissman.

Elsewhere in TV, the cast of This is Us won best ensemble in a drama series, Sandra Oh won best actress in a drama series for Killing Eve and Jason Bateman took home best actor in a drama series for his starring role as Marty Byrde in Ozark. The awards for best actor and actress in a TV movie or limited series went to Darren Criss and Patricia Arquette, respectively. Black Panther and Netflix’s GLOW also received accolades for action performances by stunt ensembles.

The awards show saw Tom Hanks present Alan Alda with the 2019 SAG Awards’ Lifetime Achievement Award. Alda is perhaps best known for his role as Hawkeye Pierce in the war television series M*A*S*H. He has also appeared on TV series like The West Wing and 30 Rock, and received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for The Aviator in 2004.

The ceremony aired live on TBS and TNT, with Megan Mullally taking over hosting duties for the night. Mullally is only the second-ever host of the SAG Awards, Kristen Bell being the first last year. The 2019 SAG Awards also featured a bit of a change in decoration this year: The traditional pre-show red carpet was replaced with a silver carpet to honor the SAG Awards’ partnership with Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil.
