Robert Downey Jr. also won big for his supporting role as Lewis Strauss in Oppenheimer, marking another SAG award to his name since his win for Ally McBeal in 2001.
Lily Gladstone took the award for female actor in a leading role for her performance in Killers of the Flower Moon, triumphing over Emma Stone and Margot Robbie. She highlighted the importance of empathy, especially reflecting on the challenges of the past year, including the actors’ strike.
Da’Vine Joy Randolph was named best female actor in a supporting role for The Holdovers. She praised the film’s director, Alexander Payne, and encouraged aspiring actors with words of hope: “Your life can change in a day…keep going.”
