SAG Awards 2020: The Complete Winners List
The entire award season is essentially all about celebrating actors, but there’s only one ceremony every year that’s voted on solely by the stars themselves: the 2020 Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Despite being shut out of the individual acting categories, South Korean director Bong Joon Ho’s “Parasite” triumphed at the 26th annual ceremony on Sunday, taking home the night’s top prize and making history as the first foreign-language film to ever win Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.

The film beat out top contenders, including Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” Martin Scorsese’s three-and-a-half-hour mafia saga “The Irishman” and Jay Roach’s Fox News drama ”Bombshell,” which were the most nominated projects heading into the evening, as well as Taika Waititi’s dark comedy “Jojo Rabbit.”
Since the SAGs are decided by active members of the SAG-AFTRA guild, a group that heavily overlaps with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voting pool, it is a key bellwether of who will win at the Oscars.
And now it’s all but certain that “Joker” star Joaquin Phoenix and Renée Zellweger from “Judy” will walk away with some little gold men of their own in February after taking home the lead actor trophies at the ceremony. Laura Dern and Brad Pitt also picked prizes for their respective performances in “Marriage Story” and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”
Much to the disappointment of many fans, however, the ceremony didn’t redeem Jennifer Lopez, who delivered a career-best performance in “Hustlers,” and Lupita Nyong’o, nominated for a terrifying dual performance in “Us,” after they missed out on Oscar nods, which were announced last week.
Among television shows, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” starring Rachel Brosnahan, scored two of its four nominated awards ― Best Comedy Cast and an acting trophy for Tony Shalhoub. FX’s “Fosse/Verdon” also fared well, making dual winners out of its leads Michelle Williams and Sam Rockwell. The Olivia-Colman-fronted “The Crown,” however, reigned supreme as the Best Ensemble in a Drama Series.
Leonardo DiCaprio presented screen legend Robert De Niro, who was snubbed in the Best Actor category for his performance in “The Irishman,” with this year’s Life Achievement Award at the ceremony to recognize his accomplishments on and off screen over his 54-year career.

‘Parasite’ Makes History As First Foreign Film To Win SAG Award For Best Ensemble
The cast of “Parasite” made history at the 26th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards by becoming the first foreign-language film to win for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.
On Sunday, the critically acclaimed film directed by Bong Joon Ho that’s been dominating this award season won the sole award it was nominated for.
“Although the title is ‘Parasite,’ I think the story is about coexistence and how we can all live together,” said actor Song Kang Ho in the group’s acceptance speech before quipping: “But to be honored with the best ensemble award, it occurs to me that we haven’t created such a bad movie.”
He also thanked the actors around him and expressed how much the honor meant to him.

“Parasite” has gained momentum and made history since it won the Palme d’Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, becoming the first South Korean film to do so.
The film was nominated for three Golden Globes this year and became the first Korean film to win its Best Foreign Language Film award. Since then, the film has nabbed six nominations for the 92nd Academy Awards, including for best director and best picture.

As evidenced by Song Kang Ho’s joke during his acceptance speech, the cast and director Bong have shown an incredible sense of humor throughout the award season.
After being asked on the red carpet on Sunday how he managed to create a blockbuster film that balances so many elements, Bong simply responded: “It’s my job.”

But let’s be honest ― it was their backstage interaction that got social media longing for the early 2000s when life was simple, “Friends” was still on the air and everyone believed this very blond and very famous duo had a forever type of love.
The two were married from 2000 to 2005 and became one of the most beloved A-list pairings in history. They’ve both since remarried and divorced another set of famous spouses ― Angelina Jolie and Justin Theroux ― but fans have continued to keep hope alive that they’d get back together one day.
Many watching along were taken back by just how comforting it was to see Pitt and Aniston together again.
