Last night saw the Screen Actor’s Guild winners revealed for both film and television at a live ceremony filled with mini-surprises.

On the cinematic front, the indie-drama CODA scored two crucial wins, including Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture; the first film with a predominantly deaf cast to receive the award. It overcame strong competition from the likes of Belfast, Don’t Look Up and House of Gucci to prevail.

Additionally, veteran deaf actor Troy Kotsur took home Best Supporting Actor for his emotional turn as deaf fisherman Frank Rossi.

Elsewhere, Jessica Chastain strengthened her bid for Oscar glory by winning Best Actress for her portrayal of real-life televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker in the biopic drama The Eyes of Tammy Faye. Her victory came at the expense of fellow Oscar contenders Nicole Kidman (Being the Ricardos) and Olivia Colman (The Lost Daughter).

As expected, Will Smith landed the Best Actor gong for his performance as real-life tennis coach Richard Williams in King Richard, while Ariana DeBose clinched Best Supporting Actress for her role as Anita in the musical remake West Side Story. Both winners are now effectively locked for Oscar success next month.

The James Bond blockbuster No Time to Die took home Outstanding Performance by a Stunt Ensemble, while veteran British actress Dame Helen Mirren (Prime Suspect, The Queen) received this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

However, it was a bad night for Oscar frontrunner The Power of the Dog, as it failed to land a single win from four nominations.

Over in the television categories, HBO’s epic family drama Succession and Apple TV’s hit football sitcom Ted Lasso both triumphed in the drama and comedy line-ups.

Succession overcame stern competition from the likes of The Handmaid’s Tale, The Morning Show and Squid Game to win Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series.

However, Squid Game did pull off two notable upsets in the acting categories, with stars Lee Jung-jae and Jung Ho-yeon landing gongs for their dramatic work. Their competition included four Succession actors; Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin, Jeremy Strong and Sarah Snook.

Additionally, the Netflix series also prevailed in the Outstanding Performance by a Stunt Ensemble category.

Elsewhere, Ted Lasso scored two wins for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series, with leading man Jason Sudeikis clinching Best Actor (Comedy) for the second year in a row.

As expected, Jean Smart took home Best Actress (Comedy) for her role as eccentric comedian Deborah Vance in Hacks, with her opponents including Ted Lasso duo Juno Temple and Hannah Waddingham.

Unsurprisingly, Kate Winslet and Michael Keaton repeated their recent successes at the Golden Globes by winning Best Actress (Mini-Series/TV Film) and Best Actor (Mini-Series/TV Film) for their respective performances in Mare of Easttown and Dopesick.
