The 30th annual SAG Awards 2024 (Screen Actors Guild) were held Saturday at the Los Angeles Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall. The show streamed live globally on Netflix – a first for the show and the streamer – which freed it up to be different from other award shows (read, no bleeps, as mentioned above, and no ad breaks either).

SAG Awards 2024: Saturday night’s winners
Saturday night’s winners were familiar to those who have been following awards season, as actors from “The Bear,” “Oppenheimer”, and “Beef” took home statuettes as expected.
The cast of “Succession” led the nominations among the television categories with five – nabbing the top honour for best ensemble. “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” scored four nominations in the motion picture categories, including earning recognition in the coveted ensemble cast category. “Oppenheimer” reigned victorious with three awards, while “Barbie” was shut out.
Oppenheimer continued its significant recent winning streak, with victories for lead actor Cillian Murphy, supporting actor Robert Downey Jr., and the night’s final award, Best Film Ensemble. Da’Vine Joy Randolph was another repeat winner, seemingly unstoppable for her role in The Holdovers. And Lily Gladstone triumphed in the best actress category, making her a strong contender heading into the Oscars in a highly competitive best actress race.
On the TV side, there were many repeat victories for recent Emmy winners like Steven Yeun, Ali Wong, Ayo Edebiri, and Jeremy Allen White. But there was a genuine surprise when Pedro Pascal took home the lead actor in a drama award for The Last of Us — perhaps no one was more surprised than Pascal himself. And though he beat several actors from Succession, they had their moment onstage for the best drama ensemble award.
