Sterling K. Brown, winner of Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture for ‘Black Panther’ and Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series for ‘This Is Us,’ poses in the press room at the 25th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on January 27, 2019 in Los Angeles, California.

On a warm and sunny January 27th evening in Los Angeles, the 25th Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards shined at the Shrine Auditorium so thespians could celebrate their peers. Advertisement While not as lauded as the Emmys or Oscars, award ceremonies by unions such as SAG-AFTRA and WGA always seems extra special because I can imagine your direct peers recognizing you, like “ biiiitch , you did that shit” is... well, the shit. Hosted by Megan Mullally, the ceremony kicked off with the traditional opening montage of actors introducing themselves and their craft. Undoubtedly, my favorite of the night was Geoffrey Owens. Given his rollercoaster of a ride from Trader Joe’s to the resurgence of a respected career, the 57- year-old actor’s beaming and proud face brought a similar smile to mine . Continuing his smooth streak this awards season, Green Book’s Mahershala Ali picked up the award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role. Advertisement Sandra Oh’s win for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series (Killing Eve) not only stood as fantastic representation for Asian actors (along with her awards season vast recognition being long overdue); the moment she stepped onstage to thank the people who supported her... it unexpectedly became a black moment, as well. “I just want to thank my fellow actors. I have felt your support so tremendously in the past years,” Oh mused. “I want to thank Alfre Woodard. In 1997 — she’s never going to remember this — she whispered in my ear, ‘I’m so proud of you out there; we fight the same fight.’ Jamie Foxx, in 2006, pulled me aside and he said, ‘Keep going.’ And in 2017, Lena Waithe, she just embraced me and said, ‘You already won. It’s in the work.’ So, thank you to my fellow actors. Thank you!” Advertisement This is what minority solidarity looks like. This here. It doesn’t look like hijacking one’s progression to place the spotlight on yours, it celebrates the mutual support you receive from the community as you each strive to win. Together. We all gon’ eat. We all gon’ win. Advertisement The cast of This Is Us celebrated a big two, taking home the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series win for the second consecutive year. Check out the cuteness that is Sterling K. Brown and his lovely wife and fellow actor, Ryan Michelle Bathe (who made a guest appearance on the show, too!). They are so damn goofy and I fucking love it . Advertisement And then, there was “Wakanda Forever.” Advertisement Along with the sheer optics of the Black Panther cast happily shuffling onstage to celebrate their big win for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture (the film also won for Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture), the fact that the film made SAG Awards history was pretty huge. With the win, it became the first film in the ceremony’s history to score wins for Best Cast and Best Stunt Ensemble .

At the SAG Awards on Sunday, she totally fangirled over the younger members of the cast, and it was high-key cute. First, they had a little meet-up on the red carpet, and Gaga was all like, "These kids are the GOAT." Kevin Mazur Getty Images And when the cast won for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series, she gave each kid a high five as they walked past her. If you watch this video, it pans out right as she's about to do it, but keep an eye on the bottom right corner of the frame and you can watch it happen. This content is imported from Twitter.

Faithe Herman, 10, and Parker Bates, 12, who play young Annie Pearson and Kevin Pearson, respectively, were among the first to arrive at the awards show. Herman wore a blue tiered Valdrin Sahiti dress with a black House of Cyndarella bow on the back. She completed the look with shoes from Nordstrom and wore her hair up in two adorable braided bows. Herman’s co-star Eris Baker, meanwhile, arrived in a pastel yellow halter gown with a matching headscarf. Underneath her dress, the 13-year-old actress wore Timberland boots she’d apparently customized herself with black marker. Bates went bold with his tuxedo, pairing his black patterned suit with a zebra-print pocket square, smoking slippers and a gold and pearl pin in place of a traditional tie. Mackenzie Hancsicsak, 11, who plays a younger version of Kate Pearson, wore a metallic gown with blue overlay. The third young Pearson sibling, Lonnie Chavis, 11, kept it simple in a classic black tuxedo. Lyric Ross, 15, who plays Déjà, made a stylish statement in a white strapless gown with gold accents. It’s not surprising that the kids of “This Is Us” would show up in full force at the SAG Awards: In November, Page Six learned that some of the younger stars, including Niles Fitch, Logan Shroyer and Hannah Zeile — who play the teenage versions of the characters — did not log enough screen time on the NBC sitcom to be invited to the 2017 or 2018 SAGs. In past years, the show’s adult cast, including Chrissy Metz, Kevin Hartley and Sterling K. Brown, gave up their extra tickets so everyone from the show could attend. This time around, it seems that their teenage and younger co-stars all made the cut.<doc-sep>
This Is Us wins Best TV Drama Ensemble at SAG Awards (again!) This Is Us Close this dialog window Streaming Options This Is Us has done it again. The NBC drama repeated last year’s victory and won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. On Sunday night, the hit heartwarming dramedy beat out rivals The Americans, The Handmaid’s Tale, Ozark, and Better Call Saul in the competitive category. This Is Us features Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore, Sterling K. Brown, Chrissy Metz, and Justin Hartley in a time-jumping ensemble family tale. Brown was also nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series. At the podium, Moore and Hartley accepted the award on behalf of the cast. “Thank you so much for embracing a show that’s about life and its unpredictable loss and its sweet, sweet victories and inclusivity,” Hartley said. On the SAG red carpet, Hartley told EW, “I get emotional when I read [the scripts]. Our writers have a unique ability to… they don’t string anyone along, they tell a story at certain pace and then they just hit you with a knife. It’s beautiful storytelling. We’re lucky to be there.” Season 3 introduced a series of ambitious flash-forwards to help “fill in the pieces of the puzzle,” creator Dan Fogelman told EW. “What really appealed to me about going into the future was that this is a show about two things — this is a show about family and it’s a show about time,” he noted last fall. “What’s really interesting about the life cycle of a family is that at a certain point the children become the parents, and the present becomes the past. Not just having three siblings looking back at their upbringing and seeing how it informed their present, but also thinking of their lives in the present as the potential past or a future where their children are looking back on them as the parents.” This Is Us returns Tuesday, Feb. 5, on NBC.
