The 24th annual SAG Awards were handed out tonight at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, and it appears there are serious front-runners for the acting Oscars.

Fox Searchlight’s Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri won three Actor trophies tonight, including the marquee film ensemble prize. Also, Frances McDormand won for her lead role, and Sam Rockwell won for supporting. See the full winners list below.

Gary Oldman continued his awards-season run, winning Lead Actor for his tour-de-force turn as Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour.

Likewise, the other winner in supporting category for film might be tough to beat at the Oscars: Allison Janney, for playing Tonya Harding’s mom in I, Tonya. It was her seventh SAG Awards, spanning The West Wing, American Beauty, The Help and the Harding biopic.

On the TV side, NBC gave broadcast nets a boost with two wins for This Is Us: Ensemble in a Drama Series and Sterling K. Brown for Male Actor. HBO’s Big Little Lies and Veep also won twice. Nicole Kidman and Alexander Skarsgard took trophies for playing unconventional spouses in Big Little Lies, and Veep was voted the winner for comedy ensemble — surprisingly its first — with lead Julia Louis-Dreyfus also winning for the Selina Meyer role. The actress has been undergoing chemo treatments and was unable to attend the ceremony. She tweeted this, though:

I wish I could have been @SAGawards tonight but have to admit it's pretty fun to watch in my pj's. So honored to win. So proud to be a union member. So happy for my @VeepHBO bozos for winning ensemble award. Miss being at the table with you all. How was the chicken?

— Julia Louis-Dreyfus (@OfficialJLD) January 22, 2018

It also was Kidman’s first win in her 10th nomination.

HBO was the big winner among networks with four, followed by NBC’s two. Netflix and Showtime took one apiece. And Fox Searchlight tripled up on the competition with the three Actors for Three Billboards. Focus got the one for Darkest Hour and Neon/30WEST took the other for I, Tonya.

There was plenty of #MeToo-related talk tonight but nothing too controversial as women clearly were in the spotlight. All of the presenters were female as was the host. The SAG Awards never has had a host — until tonight. Executive producer Kathy Connell and the SAG Awards Committee are breaking a long-standing custom by assigning those duties to Kristen Bell of the Bad Moms films House of Lies alum.

Conversely, there was very little political talk Dunday night — in fact, the only time Donald Trump’s name was mentioned was during the clip for Anthony Anderson’s Black-ish nomination.

Morgan Freeman accepted tonight’s Lifetime Achievement Award. After accepting the honor from EGOT winner and fellow The Electric Company alum Rita Moreno — who was in a playful mood and noted that she’s known Freeman for 50 years — he said backstage: “I got on stage first time when I was 8 and I played Little Boy Blue in a pageant. By 12, there was no question (he wanted to be an actor.” He later blew off a reporter’s question about whether Hollywood awards are “too white.” Instead, he focused on the career honor. “You have to give that some thought because the title is Life Achievement. The inference might be to get off the stage, you’re done. My hope is that is not the case and they were saying congratulations, so far.”

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20184:53 pm

We are live at the Shrine Auditorium for the 24th annual SAG Awards.

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20184:57 pm

The show is about to start at the Shrine. SAG-AFTRA says this year’s décor was inspired by the sensuous curves of nature, as almost a counterpoint to the regular angles of most architecture,

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20184:58 pm

Everyone will be vying for the Actor trophy — which, since you aksed, is 16 inches tall and weighs 12 pounds.

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20184:58 pm

Some 1,032 individually numbered Actor statuettes have been awarded since the SAGs started in 1995.

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:00 pm

The Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall was the largest theater in the U.S. when it was opened in 1926.

Dino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20185:00 pm

Dino-Ray Ramos here backstage at the Shrine Auditorium and will be giving you live updates!

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:01 pm

A promo just showed Kristen Bell chugging from a Champagne bottle. There’s no shortage of booze at the venue: 120 bottles of tequila, 84 of vodka and 36 each of bourbon and gin.

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:02 pm

In the Year of the Woman, Allison Janney, Tracee Ellis Ross and Millie Bobby Brown are the first to deliver the “I’m an actor” opens.

Pete HammondJanuary 21, 20185:02 pm

Here is something intriguing. No film NOT nominated for Best Cast at SAG has gone on to win Best Picture at the Oscars since 1996 when Braveheart won. What does that mean for PGA and Critics Choice winner Shape Of Water which is NOT nominated at SAG for Best Cast?

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:02 pm

“I am Kristen Bell, and I am a narcissist.” Nice.

Dino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20185:03 pm

FUN FACT: Kristen Bell is the first host of the SAG Awards.

Dino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20185:04 pm

Bell just referred to The Handmaid’s Tale as a documentary — not gonna argue with that.

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:05 pm

A little love for the non-working actors in a studio apartment in Koreatown with five roommates.

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:05 pm

“Fear and anger never win the race,” Bell says.

Dino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20185:06 pm

First award for the evening: Male Actor in a Comedy Series presented by Maya Rudolph.

Pete HammondJanuary 21, 20185:06 pm

Interesting that Bell says it is a show by actors for actors. Since the merger with AFTRA many of the voters are actually local weathercasters among other non-actors! Most of the rest of the voters are unemployed actors.

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:06 pm

Followed by a little Frozen 2 plug.

Dino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20185:06 pm

Anthony Anderson was nominated last year as well — will he win this year?

Pete HammondJanuary 21, 20185:07 pm

Aziz is a no show.

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:07 pm

No reaction for Aziz Ansari’s nomination announcement.

Dino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20185:07 pm

William H. Macy won last year — will this year be a repeat win? I am sitting at the edge of my seat!

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:08 pm

Winner:

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series
WILLIAM H. MACY / Frank Gallagher – “SHAMELESS” (Showtime)

Dino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20185:08 pm

Looks like a repeat win for William H. Macy! Congrats!

Pete HammondJanuary 21, 20185:09 pm

SAG living up to its usual predictablility. I called Macy as the winner at SAG since they love to repeat winners , especially in this category. Alec Baldwin won seven times!

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:10 pm

This is Macy’s third win for Shameless in eight seasons.

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:10 pmDino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20185:11 pm

Female Actor in a Comedy Series is up next — I am going to predict Jane Fonda for this one…or her Grace and Frankie co-star Lily Tomlin.

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:12 pm

Winner:

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series
JULIA LOUIS-DREYFUS / Selina Meyer – “VEEP” (HBO)

Pete HammondJanuary 21, 20185:13 pm

Happy for Julia Louis Dreyfus. Big hug for her from fellow actors, although agan no surprise.

Dino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20185:14 pm

Seems like my prediction was wrong — but congrats Julia Louis-Dreyfuss for VEEP. She was not there to accept the award. The actress is currently undergoing breast cancer treatment.

Pete HammondJanuary 21, 20185:16 pm

Dino, predicting people who have never won before at SAG is risky business indeed.

Dino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20185:16 pm

I like to live on the edge!

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:17 pm

Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen are at Larry David’s table, natch

Dino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20185:18 pm

Seems like my prediction was wrong — but congrats Julia Louis-Dreyfuss for VEEP. She was not there to accept the award.

Pete HammondJanuary 21, 20185:18 pm

Well at least they stopped the Orange Is New Black lock on this category. Amazing actually Veep had never won so this is a good sign for something different on this show.

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:19 pm

Hard to believe this is the first Ensemble win for Veep, which has won pretty much everything the past few years.

Dino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20185:19 pm

Agreed — the cast of OITNB is great, but kudos to the cast of Veep on their first win.

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:21 pm

Twitter just sent out a release saying Netflix’s Stranger Thing dominated the social chatter from the red carpet, with five of its stars being the most tweeted-about celebs.

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:22 pm

If you’re scoring along at home:

1. Millie Bobby Brown

2. Sadie Sink

3. Dacre Montgomery

4. Gaten Matarazzo
5.
Caleb McLaughlin

Dino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20185:22 pm

William H. Macy backstage now fresh off of his win. In regards to what this win means to him: “I’m still a contender. The people that mean the most to me are diggin’ what I do.” And by “the people that mean the most” to him, he means his fellow actors.

Dino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20185:23 pm

Macy also says he still gets starstruck: “I’m at Table 20. Robert DeNiro is sitting at my table!”

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:24 pm

Premium networks have shoved streamers and broadcasters to the side thus far, with HBO taking two Actors and Showtime one.

Pete HammondJanuary 21, 20185:26 pm

It’s Janney or Metcalf here, but I will go with Janney.

Dino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20185:26 pm

First backstage question about #MeToo. Macy says “It’s a complicated question.”

Dino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20185:27 pm

Good call Pete. I was in the Janney camp as well.

Pete HammondJanuary 21, 20185:28 pm

Janney is an awards magnet so no surprise, plus it is a scenery chewing role of enormous proportions. She’s terrific, but so was Metcalf as another fire breathing mother!

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:29 pm

(From A. Bennett)

“When you’ve been in the business for a while, you feel like, yeah, I gotta go to this thing. But we love it… It means that my fellow actors are digging what I do. I still get starstruck when I come to these things.”

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:29 pm

This is Janney’s seventh SAG Award. I hope she reinforced that mantel.

Dino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20185:31 pm

I think the rest of the awards season will be Janney and Metcalf duking it out for the Supporting Actress crown.

Pete HammondJanuary 21, 20185:31 pm

This will be Rockwell. It better be.

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:32 pm

Dafoe is dark horse here

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:32 pm

But yeah, it’s Rockwell’s to lose.

Dino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20185:32 pm

Winner:

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role
SAM ROCKWELL / Dixon – “THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI” (Fox Searchlight)

Dino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20185:33 pm

Of course, it’s Sam Rockwell!

Dino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20185:34 pm

Cast of VEEP is now backstage: “We’re here for any Sam Rockwell questions.”
—Timothy Simons

Pete HammondJanuary 21, 20185:35 pm

It will be a big night for Three Billboards. It is a real actors movie. Rockwell will easily win the Oscar.

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:35 pm

Rockwell and Janney sure seem like the pair to beat for supporting Oscars.

Dino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20185:36 pm

For all you Veep fans, the show is back in production in August.

Pete HammondJanuary 21, 20185:36 pm

Don’t bet against them.

Dino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20185:38 pm

Tony Hale brought his high school drama teacher to tonight’s ceremony. “It’s kind of an F.U. to my sports teachers.”

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:40 pm

(From A. Bennett)

Timothy Simons tells How Julia Louis-Dreyfus is doing with her cancer treatment: “She has generally been in good spirits when we see her. She has a good sense of humor.”

Pete HammondJanuary 21, 20185:40 pm

Interesting fact. Three Billboards and I, Tonya were respectively the #1 and #2 surprise audience Peoples Choice winners at Toronto Film Fest in Sept and they have proven those Canadians prescient. They are big winners at SAG so far.

Dino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20185:42 pm

Winner:

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series
ALEXANDER SKARSGÅRD / Perry Wright – “BIG LITTLE LIES” (HBO)

Pete HammondJanuary 21, 20185:44 pm

Skarsgaard in a supporting role beats De Niro and three others in lead roles. He’s shocked. I’m not . He won Emmy and Globes and SAG follows, doesn’t lead. De Niro actually lost everywhere now for Bernie Madoff. Hmmmm. BTW I predicted Sarsgaard.

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:45 pm

Veep ensemble winner Matt Walsh backstage on when the show will return: “Last I heard is we’re coming back in August, shooting. Next episode airs in October.”

SAG-AFTRA president Gabrielle Carteris: “Make no mistake: This is not a moment in time — this is a movement.”

“Change is coming. We are the agents of change.” — Carteris

Veep ensemble winner Tony Hale backstage talking about Louis-Dreyfus when the cameras aren’t rolling: “We’re all part of a team. Nobody is walking on eggshells. She has no arrogance, she has no entitlement. It’s a team.”

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:51 pm

President Trump has not tweeted about the SAG Awards. Oh right, the government is shut down.

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20185:51 pm

But wait — he did find time to tweet this:

While we wait out this commercial break, a little factoid: All SAG-AFTRA members in good standing are eligible to vote in all categories, which means 121,544 peers in the actors’ union choose the honorees this year.

Asked backstage what he took away from his Three Billboards character, he said: “I think it’s about the loneliness. He’s a very lonely guy. He lives with his mom. He has a long way to go. He needs a good therapist.”

Pete HammondJanuary 21, 20186:04 pm

Rita Moreno is 85. Do you believe it? She is so great. One of my all time favorite Actors Side interviews on Deadline I ever did.

Dino-Ray RamosJanuary 21, 20186:04 pm

Rita Moreno is presenting the Life Achievement Award to Morgan Freeman. She is welcomed with a deserving standing ovation from the crowd: “That’s a lot of love…but I can take it.”

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20186:05 pm

Great reception for Rita Moreno — one of only 12 winners of showbiz’s grand slam, the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony).

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20186:06 pm

She has known Freeman for 50 years — since they appeared together on Sesame Street rival The Electric Company.

Erik PedersenJanuary 21, 20186:08 pm

I wonder if Steven Spielberg will find a role for Moreno in his upcoming West Side Story remake.

Best Actress is next and though this is an incredibly competitive category this year with so many greats (Meryl Streep is inexplicably not even NOMINATED) it will be Frances McDormand. Others will be looked at as a surprise.

Big night as I predicted for Three Billboards. What does it mean for Oscar? I will be analyzing this all in conjunction with last night’s PGA award to Shape Of Water. Stay tuned for that on Deadline. Fun blogging the show with you all.
