The 2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards [1] flew by! The organisation, honouring the best in television and movies [2], aired the show on 27 Feb. The competition was fierce this year with "House of Gucci [3]" leading in the film category with three nominations, "Being the Ricardos [4]" stars Nicole Kidman [5] and Javier Bardem [6] scoring two nominations, and "King Richard [7]" earning two nominations.
Television saw the stiffest competition between costars. "Succession [8]" led with five nominations, winning one for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series. In the outstanding performance by a male actor in a drama series category, "Succession" stars Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin, and Jeremy Strong competed for the win [9] — much like their characters. However, "Squid Game [10]" star Lee Jung-jae came out victorious in the category. "Ted Lasso [11]" scored five nominations and won three.
"Mare of Easttown [12]" and "Squid Game [13]" also got a hefty four nominations each. "Squid Game" is the first foreign-language series and the first Korean series to get a spot at the award show.
The night was filled with monumental firsts. In addition to Lee, "Squid Game" star HoYeon won outstanding performance by a female actor in a drama series. They are the first Korean actors to win at the SAG Awards. "CODA" star Troy Kotsur had a historic win for the Apple TV+ movie. He is the first deaf actor to be nominated and take home a SAG Award [14]. The "CODA" cast also were honoured with outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture. Will Smith [15] joined the list of first-time SAG Award winners for his role as Richard Williams in "King Richard [16]."
Finally, Helen Mirren [17] received a special honour with the SAG Life Achievement Award, with 13 nominations and five wins throughout her career.
