After taking the top honor at the Producers Guild Awards on Saturday, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” dominated the Screen Actors Guild awards on Sunday night in Los Angeles with speeches by actors Michelle Yeoh and the legendary James Hong stealing the night.
The trippy sci-fi film took home four honors, dominating the film section of the awards, with wins for Best Ensemble Cast, both Best Supporting Actor honors for Jamie Lee Curtis and Ke Huy Quan, and a historic win for Michelle Yeoh who took the Best Actress honor.
The only film awards the movie didn’t take out were Best Actor, which went to Brendan Fraser for “The Whale,” and Best Stunt Ensemble which went to “Top Gun: Maverick”.
On the TV front, “The White Lotus” took best ensemble in a drama series whilst “Abbott Elementary” landed best ensemble in a comedy series and “Stranger Things” took the Best Stunt Ensemble award for TV.
Individual acting winners included Jason Bateman (“Ozark”) and Jennifer Coolidge (“The White Lotus”) for best drama series actors, Jeremy Allen White (“The Bear”) and Jean Smart (“Hacks”) for best comedy series actors, and Sam Elliott (“1883”) and Jessica Chastain (“George and Tammy”) for best-limited series actors.
Yeoh was in tears as she gave a heartfelt acceptance speech complete with multiple swears and sweet sentiment. The ‘Ensemble Cast’ award for “Everything Everywhere All at Once” quickly turned into a tribute to 94 year old Hong who remains able to dance and crack jokes with the best of them.
