The 31st annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, held in Los Angeles, brought together the brightest stars of the entertainment industry for a night of celebration, recognition, and heartfelt moments. The ceremony, which honors outstanding performances in film and television, saw Timothée Chalamet, Demi Moore, and the cast of Shōgun among the major winners, while films like Conclave and A Complete Unknown secured top accolades.
Film Winners: A Celebration of Artistry
The award for Best Ensemble Cast in a Motion Picture went to Conclave, a gripping drama that captivated audiences and critics alike. The film triumphed over strong contenders like A Complete Unknown, Anora, Emilia Perez, and Wicked.
In the individual acting categories, Timothée Chalamet took home the award for Best Actor for his transformative performance in A Complete Unknown. Chalamet, who has consistently pushed the boundaries of his craft, delivered a heartfelt speech, thanking his co-stars and the industry for their support.
Demi Moore won Best Actress for her riveting role in The Substance, a film that explores themes of identity and resilience. Moore, a veteran of the industry, dedicated her award to her family and the countless women who have inspired her throughout her career.
The supporting categories also saw standout performances recognized. Kieran Culkin won Best Supporting Actor for his role in A Real Pain, while Zoe Saldaña took home Best Supporting Actress for her work in Emilia Perez.
The Best Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble award went to The Fall Guy, a high-octane thriller that showcased the incredible skill and dedication of stunt performers.
Amid the celebrations, Jane Fonda, the legendary actress and lifelong activist, took the stage to present an award and share her thoughts on the importance of social consciousness. In her signature candid style, Fonda addressed the often-misunderstood term “woke,” stating, “Woke just means you give a damn about other people.”
Her words resonated deeply with the audience, reminding everyone that being “woke” is not a derogatory term but a call to empathy and action. Jane Fonda, who has been a vocal advocate for climate change, gender equality, and social justice, emphasized the need for the entertainment industry to use its platform to drive positive change.
“We are storytellers,” she said. “And with that comes the responsibility to tell stories that matter, stories that challenge, inspire, and unite us. Being woke means recognizing the struggles of others and standing with them. It means using our voices to amplify the voices of the marginalized.”
