The Screen Actors Guild celebrated the outstanding motion picture and television performances of 2020 at the 27th Annual SAG Awards, which aired Sunday, April 4, 2021 on TNT and TBS.
This year’s awards was a brisk one-hour celebration that highlighted and expanded on the show’s signature “I Am An Actor” stories through funny and intimate docuseries-inspired interviews, which were woven throughout the telecast.
Honored with individual awards were Chadwick Boseman, Viola Davis, Daniel Kaluuya and Yuh-Jung Youn for performances in motion pictures, and Mark Ruffalo, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jason Bateman, Gillian Anderson, Jason Sudeikis and Catherine O’Hara for performances in television. The Screen Actors Guild Awards originated awards for the outstanding performances by a motion picture cast and by television drama and comedy ensembles.
The Actor for a motion picture cast performance went this year to The Trial of The Chicago 7, while the Actors for television drama and comedy ensemble performances went this year to The Crown and Schitt’s Creek.
Screen Actors Guild Awards Producers Jason George and JoBeth Williams revealed the honorees for outstanding action performances during the official live pre-show PEOPLE, Entertainment Weekly & TNT: Screen Actors Guild Awards Pre-Show.
The stunt ensemble from Wonder Woman 1984 was honored for film and the stunt ensemble from The Mandalorian was honored for television.
The Screen Actors Guild Awards unique take on awards season included an upbeat montage recognizing this year’s nominees’ outstanding performances, and an “In Memoriam” tribute presented by Viola Davis honoring the union members lost since last year’s gathering.
