On Sunday, February 26, the biggest names in the entertainment industry made their way to Los Angeles, CA for the 2023 SAG Awards.
Streaming live on Netflix’s YouTube channel for the first time, the 2023 SAG Awards gave out trophies (known as the Actor) to the performers who gave the most electrifying performances in movies and TV series over the last year.
Everything Everywhere All at Once converted its five nominations into a record-breaking four Actors, also resulting in most of the night’s best speeches. Their wins included the Best Ensemble statue and awards for Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Ke Huy Quan, who became the first Asian actor to win the Supporting Actor category.
Over on the television side of things, The White Lotus continued its impressive reign at the awards show circuit, taking home the Best Drama Series Ensemble trophy, while Jennifer Coolidge took home her ver own Actor for her performance. The other awards were spread among the rest of the nominated shows, with Abbott Elementary prevailing in the Best Comedy Ensemble category and Ozark–which boasted the most noms of any series with four–taking home one Actor via Jason Bateman.
Quinta Brunson took to the stage to accept the outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series award, thanking their peers for the honor while explaining that the award meant a lot “because being a part of this ensemble means the world to me.”
“I unfortunately and fortunately spend a lot of time on three sides of this,” Brunson said during her moving speech. “When I get to be a part of this ensemble, these people bring me back down to earth. They make me a better actor. They allow me to become an actress that I’m proud of.”
Admitting that acting is sometimes the “hardest” part of her job, Quinta said that being a member of the Abbott Elementary ensemble “makes me a better actor every single day.”
“Thank you for recognizing the work of these amazing people. They are the best and they are so fucking funny all the time,” she continued. “They really are so funny and good at acting. I’m in awe of all of them at every single turn.”
