It was an achievement of sorts for casts of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Black Panther as both bagged top honors at the prestigious 2019 Screen Actors Guild Awards. The award show is entertaining in a way that other overhyped productions have failed to follow in recent times. The run-time is almost two hours and lays full emphasis on stars from TV and films. The show is all about the faces and names that we’ve adored and idolized in recently released dramas and comedies, among other genres. The special aspect of the Screen Actors Guild Awards is that you won’t come across any best television series or best picture, but rather you would get to witness the best ensemble casts distributed in a number of categories.
Below you will find the best SAG Awards 2019 moments that people would be talking about for many days to come.
Patricia Arquette Thanked Robert Mueller
Patricia Arquette was overwhelmed when she laid her hands on an award for Escape at Dannemora and took the crowd by surprise by expressing her gratitude to a most unlikely man. She thanked her entire crew for being by her side and was thrilled to pieces when she gained a substantial amount of weight during the filming rather than fitting herself into the unrealistic demands that the Hollywood film industry has set for female actors. But, people were in for a surprise when she thanked Robert Mueller. Everyone gave her a huge round of applause when she revealed that sovereignty is very precious to the people of the United States of America, and everyone working towards that deserves full credit.
Timothee Chalamet Caught Reading
One of the best moments of the year’s SAG Awards was when Timothee Chalamet was caught reading. We are not aware of how he was being able to focus on his book, but the most interesting part was that he didn’t even look up when he was caught on camera. The question is, what was he actually reading? You would have thought that he was going through a film script or in that case, maybe a school textbook, considering its size. Now, that’s called dedication for sure. But perhaps, he didn’t know that he was eligible to take the night off since he was present at an awards show. No issues, Timothee. You seriously turned heads with your act.
Black Panther Nails It
You would have seen actors getting nominated for and winning the Best Actor Award in various other awards shows. However, as you already know, the SAG Awards are known for conferring honors on the ensemble cast. Such was the case this time as well when Black Panther won in the Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture category. The moment was all the more monumental and exciting as well since a superhero film grabbed the top honors. Chadwick Boseman, the main man, caught the fancy of the audience by rendering an epic speech that won’t escape anyone’s memory anytime soon. Boseman also took some direct digs at the United States president, Donald Trump and expressed his displeasure against his policies.
Rachel Brosnahan Sweeps All
Rachel Brosnahan is over the moon as the television actress executed a smooth sixth major awards show sweep, emulating the feats of legends such as Claire Danes, Bryan Cranston, Julianna Margulies, Tina Fey, and Sarah Paulson. Her portrayal in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel earned her the lead female actor award. Tony Shalhoub grabbed the lead male actor award, and the hit series also won the award for its comedy cast. It’s been a winning streak for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel as it keeps adding all the awards in its kitty and has hardly shown any sign of retreating.
Emily Blunt Celebrates In Her Own Style
Her portrayal in A Quiet Place earned the first SAG Award for popular actress Emily Blunt. The moment she shared with her hubby, John Krasinski, just before receiving the award was absolutely adorable. She showered heaps of praise on John, who also happens to be the director of the film and didn’t shy away from giving him all the credit for her success and the film’s overall triumph. If you still haven’t seen Krasinski’s nail-biting horror film, you definitely should as Emily’s performance alone was marvelous and is reason enough to watch it!
These are indeed the best moments at this year’s awards. Whosoever has witnessed them that night would swear by the fact that the SAG Awards has been the number one entertainer among all the contemporary award shows and the organizers seem to carry the legacy year after year.
