This year’s SAG Awards, a mega precursor to the impending Oscars, buzzed with excitement as it unveiled its winners just a week before the Academy’s big night.
Bell, known for her charm and wit, guided viewers through a night filled with thrilling nominees ready to claim their accolades, many of whom are also in the running for Oscars. Can you say talent overload? Buzz-worthy contenders included Demi Moore rocking it in “The Substance,” Timothée Chalamet charming the hearts in “A Complete Unknown,” and the fabulous duo from “Wicked,” Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo.
And keep your eyes peeled for the amazing talent on the television front! Adored shows such as “Shōgun,” “The Bear,” and “Hacks” were in fierce competition for those shiny awards.

With winners still swirling about, one thing we know for sure is that the SAG Awards closely reflect Oscar favorites; they’ve been known to predict acting winners with some impressive statistics – practically a match made in celebrity heaven!
This year also highlighted Jane Fonda with the Life Achievement Award, adding a sprinkle of privilege and inspiration to an already star-studded lineup. Fonda, a titan not just in film but also in humanitarianism, shines bright as a role model with her decades-long career.

And hey, if you’re curious about winners, you can keep refreshing for the live updates on who walked away with which award.
Whether you’re team Netflix or have your heart set on HBO’s newest gem, this year’s SAGs served a deliciously hefty slice of the acting pie. So, grab that popcorn, and let’s see who shines the brightest before we all flock to the Oscars next week!
