The 26th Screen Actors Guild Awards delivered unforgettable moments, from star-studded reunions to historic wins. Held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, the ceremony celebrated the finest acting achievements in film and television for 2019.
Former spouses Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston reunited backstage after both won awards—Pitt for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Aniston for The Morning Show. The pair, once Hollywood's golden couple, appeared delighted to see each other, with a photo capturing Pitt gently holding Aniston's wrist.
Jennifer Lopez dazzled on the red carpet in a strapless gown, adorned with Harry Winston diamonds worth nearly £7 million. The set included a drop necklace, matching earrings, a diamond bracelet, and a cushion-cut ring, all set in platinum.
In a historic moment, South Korean film Parasite won Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, becoming the first non-English language film to claim the top SAG Award. The win boosted its Oscar prospects and underscored a message of inclusion beyond Hollywood.
Joaquin Phoenix, winning Best Male Actor for Joker, delivered a moving speech paying tribute to the late Heath Ledger, calling him his favourite actor. Brad Pitt charmed the audience with a witty speech, joking about Quentin Tarantino's foot fetish and his own marital history, while Jennifer Aniston's reaction added to the delight.
In television, The Crown won Outstanding Ensemble in a Drama Series, beating Game of Thrones in its final season. Peter Dinklage won Best Supporting Actor for his role as Tyrion Lannister.
