SAG Awards 2021: Daniel Kaluuya triumphs in supporting category while The Crown wins big AGAIN

The Crown led the British winners at the virtual SAG Awards on Sunday night. 

The cast of the Netflix drama were once again victorious with a win as the Best Ensemble in a TV drama series for the show’s fourth season at the prestigious ceremony, which aired in the US. 

Olivia Colman and Emma Corrin missed out on the Best Actress in a Drama Series gong, however, to their American co-star Gillian Anderson, 52, for her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher.

The ceremony also saw Brits Sacha Baron Cohen, 49, Eddie Redmayne, 39, and Mark Rylance, 61, scoop for the Cast In Motion Picture award for The Trial of The Chicago 7.  

Olivia, who stars as Queen Elizabeth II in the Netflix show, gave the acceptance speech for The Crown in the slickly produced pre-taped awards show alongside Emma, Josh O’Connor, Tobias Menzies and Marion Bailey. 

Appearing like her fellow nominees via Zoom, she read a list of the first names of the supporting cast members before crediting creator Peter Morgan for the show’s success.

‘Thank you Peter Morgan for writing so many lovely parts, we all loved it, let;s do it again,’ Olivia said.

Facing the unique challenges of a pandemic-era awards show, SAG-AFTRA’s awards committee decided against a Zoom-heavy affair.

Instead, the awards were handed out in a slick one-hour TV presentation Sunday night made up of pre-produced pieces and acceptance speeches taped ahead of time.

The show, that aired on TBS and TNT, also featured stars talking about being an actor in docu-series-style clips based on the ‘I am an Actor’ segments traditionally dispersed throughout the live SAG Awards telecast.

British talent was represented in the segments by Helen Mirren, Cynthia Erivo, Daisy Ridley and Riz Ahmed.

Looking ahead, the 75-year-old Oscar-winning actress, who looked stunning in a red sequin dress, expressed excitement about being able one day to return to movie theaters.

‘My hopes for the coming year are that we find ourselves in a big darkened [room] with a tub of popcorn…’ she shared.
