The Trial of the Chicago 7, The Crown and Schitt's Creek were among the big winners at the 2021 SAG Awards, which aired Sunday as as a one-hour, pre-taped virtual ceremony on TBS and TNT. Filmmaker Aaron Sorkin's The Trial of the Chicago 7 got a major boost on the road to the Oscars upon winning the SAG Award for best ensemble, the guild's top honor that's equivalent to a best picture prize.

The  27th Screen Actors Guild Awards saw the best of onscreen performances, in TV and film, receiving recognition. The one hour pre-taped show awarded actors across 15 various categories with individual as well as ensemble acts being awarded.

The 27th Screen Actors Guild Awards honours the year's best achievements in film and television performances. The one-hour, pre-taped show which is being held virtually does not have a host this year, nor the usual banquet or red carpet.

The starry cast of Aaron Sorkin’s 1960s courtroom drama “The Trial of the Chicago 7” took the top prize Sunday at a virtual Screen Actors Guild Awards where actors of color, for the first time, swept the individual film awards.The 27th SAG Awards, presented by the Hollywood actors’ guild SAG-Aftra, were a muted affair — and not just because the red carpet-less ceremony was condensed to a pre-recorded, Zoom-heavy, one-hour broadcast on TBS and TNT.

Since the pandemic, awards shows have been contained in Zoom chats and other virtual spaces. That said, the red carpet has also become virtual and allows Hollywood talent to come up with inventive ways to show off their red carpet fashions. For the SAG Awards, the virtual red carpet portraits contained many elevated looks, giving some sartorial eye candy on social media.

Netflix inarguably had a very big night at the SAG Awards, both in movies and TV categories taking half of the latter’s eight categories across three shows ( The Queen’s Gambit, Ozark, The Crown), and three of the five big movie categories including both Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom stars Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman  in the lead acting slots , and for Outstanding Cast The Trial Of The Chicago 7  winning the big award of the evening which is SAG’s equivalent of the Best Picture Oscar.

This year's SAG Awards might be quite a bit different than in years past, but the celeb fashions are as chic and stylish as ever.For the first time in the show's history, this year's ceremony was a pre-taped affair — completely virtual, with no host, and edited down to an hour-long broadcast.That doesn't mean, however, that the A-list nominees didn't get all glammed up for their brief acceptance speeches, delivered over Zoom!Despite the absence of a red carpet this year, there were plenty of red

Jason Sudeikis is keeping his look fresh as he racks up the awards.

While Nomadland picked up Best Picture at the Critics Choice a couple of weeks back—a pretty reliable Oscar top prize indicator—at Sunday night’s SAG, it wasn’t even nominated in that category. Instead, that prize went to Aaron Sorkin’s The Trial of the Chicago 7, possibly bolstering its chances at the Academy show on April 25th.

Screen Actors Guild Awards, SAG-AFTRA minted a new class of winners during a reimagined awards ceremony.Honoring the best in film and television — as well as stunt people in both — this year's most-nominated TV series were and, while Chadwick Boseman made SAG history, becoming the first actor to earn four nominations in a single year.

Instead of congregating on the stage of Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium for their best-ensemble win at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the cast of “The Trial of the Chicago 7” called in on Zoom.For a video conference, they make a starry bunch.

If Netflix was going to have a golden night this award season it was going to be at the SAG Awards and, surprise, the actors came through. The streaming service took major honors including the Outstanding Cast in a Motion Picture for “Trial of the Chicago 7” and “The Crown” won for Drama Series ensemble for the second year in a row.
