2023 SAG Winners Reaction!!! 

This is a great telecast! No stupid jokes, no hosts, no commericals, no CUT OFFS. What the EEAAO cast did at the end for James Hong is SO generous, classy, and respectful in a very Chinese way. Michelle Yeoh!!! So thrilled for her finally getting this individual recognition. She so earned it and deserved this!! JLC gives the best acceptance *and* stump speech of the night!

Ana De Armas and Viola David both had huge smiles on their faces and leapt out of their seats when Michelle Yeoh won. I thought that was really sweet to see.

I think we all can collectively agree that Jamie Lee Curtis winning is the biggest shock of the night!!!

4 awards to EEAAO, but at the same time, the 5 went to A24

For those who follow precursors, watching the Oscars this year might be the most nail-biting, fun, and exciting experience for the first time in a long time. Side note: the whole “Did you nominate Stephanie Hsu?” barometer thing made me laugh 😂

Jamie Lee Curtis winning was the biggest surprise of the night

"Women are Talking" by Wahlberg was so respectless I'm sorry

JLC did so well for the screen time she had. Beautiful performance and she made the most of all her scenes ❤

Ke and Mechelle Yeoh BOTH became the FIRST Asian in their respective categories to win the award! Also, I almost missed Ke because they did not have any suspense to reveal the winner 😂 and I was aggressively watching And imagine JLC winning just for the hotdog-finger scenes This is my first time watching any award season and this (SAG) was the most fun show for whatever reason? I loved the “I’m an actor” mini-interviews! With that being said, I assumed BAFTAs would just like their war stuff so I didn’t really take it seriously (even now with the no-poc win)

Part of the reason I'm still predicting Michelle Yeoh is because we have seen with guild after guild that this movie has ALL the support. The actors branch (which is far and away the biggest branch of the Academy) absolutely loved this film, as did the PGA and DGA and so many others. I think Michelle Yeoh is peaking at the *perfect* time in the race, and I will be thrilled to see her walk on that stage and accept an Oscar.

The more I’ve watched Jamie in EEAAO the more I appreciate her part in it. It doesn’t scream awards worthy until you start to absorb the character and what it entails in the plot.

I can’t believe Jamie Lee Curtis won the SAG! If they were going to give it to an EEAAO performance, it should’ve Stephanie Hsu. I don’t understand how these televised awards are sleeping on Stephanie! I hope JLC doesn’t win the Oscar. I really hoped Colin Farrell would’ve won, now Best Actor is neck and neck unless Colin pulls some kind of crazy upset. I’m all for EEAAO spreading the love Oscar night as long as it wins where it needs to, Supporting Actor, Editing, Director and Best Picture. I also really want Martin McDonagh to walk away with something.

The Bafta have never been a clear indicator. The SAG award has become the indicator because 3 days after the winner is announced now the academy voting starts. This year the Oscars lined up exactly with the Sags and I'm not surprised. Cate Blanchett does not need a third Academy award to overlook the first Asian woman to win in like 94 years. Angela Bassett was only a favorite in her own mind She won two awards the Golden globes which is trash now and the critics choice. She didn't win the BAFTA or the Sag. They chose to acknowledge Jamie Lee Curtis's body of work which is what supporting categories tend to do and judging from Angela Bassett's salty reception I think they made the right choice.

A24 won the whole night. One studio won it all. Has that happened before???

Remember, SAG completely ignored Regina King for Beale Street and she still won the Oscar. I still think Angela Bassett is the front runner for that award. But I think the SAG voters wanted to give JLC something since she's a veteran and never been nominated and has won nothing all season.

We could see a repeat of 2004 when Million Dollar Baby took Best Director, Best Picture, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor. EEAAO could go the exact same way for the awards

The only other times the BAFTA and SAG winners had absolutely no overlap was for 1994 (the first year the SAG Awards were held) and 1997. Both of these years were before the BAFTAs were precursors (they took place in April/May back then). In every other year, there was at least one category that had the same winner in both ceremonies.

Yeah, I love JLC. And she delivered a really lovely speech. But god damn… please give Stephanie Hsu the Oscar. I actually really like all the supporting actress noms this year too but Hsu deserves it the most!

between jamie lee curtis making everyone shout out MICHELLE YEOH, michelle’s sweet speech and james hong calling out hollywood’s racism against asians I think michelle’s oscar chances got a REALLY big boost

You guys missed James Hong's iconic speech! Kinda wanted to see your reaction haha

fun entertaining telecast! loved watching your reactions!

I love the chaos and different winners. However Basset & Yeoh winning would make me happy.

I love your enthusiasm fellas

EEAAO absolutely swept the SAG awards and won both the top prizes for DGA and PGA. It would be shocking if the movie didn’t win Best Picture at the Oscars but part of me is thinking that there still is a possibility that EEAAO won’t win for Best Picture at the Oscars (it could possibly be completely shut out) and I’m emotionally prepared if that does happen, but I also have my fingers crossed for EEAAO to win Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Editing at the Oscars.

Love their reactions.

you know i come here bec its lovely seeing these boys faces , zooming in and making noises. love thes eguys

Well the BAFTA’s usually go to the British actors, also it’s so sweet how much you want Angela Bassett to win

Also, the stat you just mentioned where Best Supporting Actress is often the only win for a film, that has been the case for the last 8 years, and while that streak could break at any time (because any streak can break at any time, that's how stats work), I do wonder if it's something we should consider when looking at Supporting Actress...

“THIS IS FUN!” 😂 You two are so great!

ive been waiting for this one

I was rooting for Brendan Fraser cuz I knew in my gut he would get it but Austin won the Golden Globe and Bafta so his chances for an Academy Award are strong.nevertheless Ke huy Quan is a definite lock to win the Oscar but Best Actress is anyone’s prize. Congrats to everyone this award season.

When I heard Jamie Lee’s name yesterday I thought CHAOS

Jamie Lee Curtis is so sweet In this film!! I am happy for her and I SEE A STORY

It was amazing this race have been fun to watch

EEAAO deserves all the awards imo

Thanks!

Damn y’all got this out quick

Everything is sweeping 😏😏

So happy Jamie won the SAG Award! She played that small role so perfectly!

truly the best awards show so far! easily accessible on youtube

Also people are saying that the MCU is Dying. EEAAO reinforces that. It did the multiverse better than the MCU could ever do even in its glory days. Let alone when it is practically on life support.

I thought Jamie's clip should have come from the hotdog universe rather than the IRS one. Her acting had more "meat" in the hotdog universe.

It's so great that A24 just won every single SAG for film. All of the winners deserved it.

Agreed with everyone that JLC was not most deserving of her award compared to other nominees cause her role was pretty small but goddamn her speech made me cry. She's such a joy to watch and she has done SO MUCH campaigning for EEAO. (p.s. you guys are hilarious as always) Edit; Don't take my comment out of context folks. I never said JLC wasn't deserving. She was great in the movie. I said "compared to other nominees (e.g. Stephanie Hsu)" who was ALSO nominated btw btw. Geez Louise.

Your reactions are priceless 😂👍🏻

It's gonna help that this is the last major award handed out. Especially for Yeoh and Fraser

Yes there were incredible supporting actress performances but doesn’t mean Jamie didn’t not deserve it, she still gave one heck of a performance with what little screen time she had good on her 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

remember majority of the sag members are the one who vote for the acting branch in the oscar. plus, eeaao has been winning all the major guild except wga which is scheduled on later date

Much like Stallone vs Rylance year, King's season paralleled it too. Stallone won GG and CC, King won GG and CC (both snubbed at SAG and BAFTA) Elba and Blunt won SAG (both snubbed at the Oscars) Rylance and Weisz wins BAFTA, and here is where the results differ because King still pulled it off but Stallone didn't. So there is a precedent for both, but this time the SAG winner is nominated for the Oscar so this is such a crazy category and I don't know who to predict

Best support actress category is a nail biter.

I watched it live and my prediction was damn right in all categories❣️

Funny with the Stallone and Basset comparison, both movies directed by Ryan coogler.

I think that people misinterpret BAFTA’s relevance. The actual trend is that when there’s a split in the precursors, the Oscar nearly always goes to the stronger film. Sometimes that’s the BAFTA winner (McDormand, Hopkins, Colman, Affleck), but sometimes that’s the SAG winner (JLaw, Bullock, Bridges, Penn2). I’d lean towards Butler and Yeoh, one with GG+BAFTA and the other with GG+SAG, but both with the stronger film. Supporting Actress is the real mystery. JLC has the bigger name in the bigger film, which is typically a winning combo, but it’d be such an unconventional win compared to Condon. If there were ever another film to win 3 acting Oscars, though, it makes a lot of sense that it’d be EEAAO; Yeoh, Quan, and JLC all have critically lauded performances (#1, #1, #2 on metacritic’s scoreboard) and all have strong and unique personal narratives that give them high rootability factor. It does feel like there’s a good chance we’ll see Banshees, Fabelmans, and Tar all leave the Oscars empty handed.

What I've noticed is that all four acting winners are universally beloved by the industry AND the public. Not that Blanchett isn't beloved but Yeoh has a fanbase going back decades. Who doesn't love Short Round of course? Brendan Fraser is supposedly one of the nicest guys in Hollywood. And Jamie Lee Curtis (shocked she won) is just so damn cool and a veteran in the industry.

That one award i was able to catch live, are also the award with the most satisfying results. Thanks SAG!

I didn’t know people spell Stephanie Hsu as Jamie Lee Curtis!

Fraser has the oscar in the bag after this

Jeff Bridges won without a best picture nomination. So it does happen. It will be a crazy Oscar night for sure

Yeoh! Well deserved!

If Brendan Fraser doesn’t win the oscar now, I’m gonna be so pissed Edit: Hey I'm not pissed!

Just here to say that Danielle Deadwyler looked FURIOUS on the red carpet, like she’d rather be anywhere else on Earth.

Your dog is gorgeous 🥰

tbh jlc is just riding the coattails of the eeaao love and i think she knows it, which is why she used her time to boost michelle yeoh, so her speech definitely served its purpose. ke huy quan also dedicating his speech to her....she was definitely the woman of the night. james hong was the nail on the coffin. i was so surprised by the response that i'm seriously considering to predict yeoh even tho blanchett looks better on paper.

The cat would have left a couple of seconds into the video. The dog is just there trying console you guys.

I predicted Jamie Lee Curtis winning the Oscar immediately. First of all she's white. Second of all she's been in the game longer than Angela Bassett. Third of all her parents were Hollywood royalty. End of story.

for supporting actress i preferred stephanie hsu's performance to jamie lee curtis's but i'm not mad that she won. sucks that it couldn't have gone to angela bassett or stephanie but every single actor in eeaao was a perfect fit for their role so i can't be mad at anything it wins tbh.

So happy for EEAAO! YES Ke, Michelle, Jamie, Steph, and the whole cast!

I just love this reaction coming from the both of you. And I must say, EEAAO really deserves everything for this award season. Such an amazing movie, I watched Tar and I love Cate in it but still, I'm always rooting for Michelle Yeoh as Best Actress for this amazing movie since I've watched EEAAO 3 times already. Also, Brendan Fraser as Best Actor is also what I expecting. I sobbed real hard watching his movie, The Whale last night. I just can't move on with the performances on that movie especially Hong Chau and Sadie Sink. This A24 movies deserved so much recognition this year and I'm glad SAG did saw that.

the good thing for this year Oscars is that the final voting for Oscars has not begun yet until march 2nd, which is 3 days from now, and therefore sag winners would influent the Oscar voting.

I wish all winners repeat at the Oscars

The tribute to James Hong during the acceptance speech....Best Picture is locked. It's over. EEAAO supremacy 🙌🏽

sorry, but I don't know how you didn't see the JLC train coming. When a MCU performance got GG and CC and the irish film got BAFTA, but JLC was specifically aiming her campaign to SAG and Oscars, it was obvious that JLC would get a combo of career recognition and recognition for her parents plus cotail for the most loved film of the year and Oscar likely sweeper. She's been the actual frontrunner for Oscar, since Fall. Hats off, for being so happy to be wrong and excited about the Oscars being more unpredictable... but I think this SAG will match Oscars.

"this is where we could see something shake up in the last second" jamie lee curtis: bet

You guys never disappoint 😆 Oscars should be fun, hoping for Brendan and Michelle. What a way to honor The Mummy 3!

oh, and I'm all in on Austin Butler too. AND OF COURSE SHORT ROUND!!!

Bassett gave an over the top performance in an average film.

The Top Gun Tucker is here. I think that the lead acting categories are nuts. I still think I’ll side with BAFTA on both of them but they are very nuts. I think Quan will win for sure and then I feel decently about Condon winning.

it bags me Chau didn't won in supporting but happy for Curtis

Jaime Lee Curtis winning over Stephanie Hsu... criminal

Both the SAGS and the Critics Choice have pretty much been wet-dreams for me this season...

The dog is hella cute.

I think Michelle will take the Oscar. I think the votes that would have gone towards Danielle and Viola will go to Michelle Y and I think Andrea Riseborough will shave a few votes from Cate.

Answer would be appreciated: I have an important question about Oscar Elegibility when it comes to the acting categories ... Would it be allowed for an actor to receive two nominations in the same category? So if f.e. Austin Butler would've starred in Aftersun, would it be allowed to nominate him in the Best Actor category for both Elvis and Aftersun? Because I know it's possible to nominate a director twice (Soderbergh in 2001.)

The Oscar Jamie Lee Curtis won was a huge karma for all the people like you who were giving her crap for her nominations since the beginning of January. I'm glad she won, an actress who's been working since the 70s finally got her flowers.

Remember when Emily Blunt won the sag for A Quiet Place cause they just randomly did something different and she was good and it’s a genre movie, that’s kinda the same with JLC here. She hasn’t won anything else and won’t win the Oscar, alike Blunt didn’t.

Kinda rude… because I think Jamie Lee Curtis does deserve that award over everyone but Kerry Condon

At the end of the day (from my point of view) the BAFTAs are more trustworthy than the SAGs. I remember when Chadwick Boseman won SAG (posthemous), but he didn't win the Oscar. It was Anthony Hopkins (who won the BAFTA) the Oscar-winner. The same happened with Glenn Close and Olivia Colman (Close got SAG and Colman got BAFTA) and we all know who won the Oscar. It was Olivia. Another example could be Frances McDormand. She won BAFTA and Viola Davis won SAG. And after all, McDormand got the Oscar. That being said, my prediction here is that (at least in the actor role category) Austin Butler is going to be the Oscar-winner this year. Also, Elvis has many nominations incluiding Best Picture, while The Whale isn't Best Picture nominee. The same could happen with Cate Blanchett.

Stephanie Hsu's role wasn't really a supporting one. She is one of the leads. JLC did exactly what a supporting actor was expected to do. But Gen Zers well....

MICHELLE YEOH YOU DESERVE THE OSCAR, LETS FUCKING GO

recently saw Everything- I loved Jamie Lee in this, she was wonderful. She's Hollywood royalty- both parents are Oscar nominees. Oscar voters know her, they really don't know Stephanie. Plus, BAFTA has gotten some backlash over not having any people of color win- that could help Yeoh

okay i feel your love for movies

My question is this …. Was JLC and Hsu splitting the vote … if yes I am going against the grain and say Hsu for the oscar.

There is also something else to consider when thinking of BAFTA vs. SAG: Usually, BAFTA is the last major precursor. SAG used to be a month before the Oscars. But this year, SAG is last. And SAG announced on February 26, three days before voting is open. So voters will be voting right after SAG and when the BAFTAs are probably partly forgotten by many. This is why I expect SAG to get a lot right this year. Actor - I give Fraser the edge. The emotional speech just seals the deal. Butler acts as if they owe him and never shows true joy for somebody else. Actress - Yeoh has the slight edge. She has the narrative - first Asian actress to win in lead, second actress of colour EVER to win. Ironically, the first one to win (Berry) also had SAG and NBR. Blanchett will get her third soon but not this year. And Michelle killed it in her speech and reminded them that it's rare for somebody who looks like her to get a seat at the table. And yeah, they love the movie. And people forget but she's really, really terrific in the movie. Supporting Actor - Ke Huy Quan. No contest. Supporting Actress - I expect this to be the category where they honour Inisherin. Kerry Condon will turn into their go-to vote for the film, as we already know McDonagh is not winning over the Daniels even in screenplay.

Is the dog's name Judo? That's cute

Brother Bro: Did you have fun with EEAAO confetti blast of awards? Me: Yes. Yes I did indeed

"Fuck" - Michelle Yeoh She totally summed up my feelings there. What an incredible show

It was a PERFECT night. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT! 10/10

Jamie Lee Curtis was more surprised than me.

I am so thrilled by the EEAAO wins tonight! I would have preferred Stephanie Hsu, but Jamie Lee Curtis is an Icon who deserved a nomination & possible win years ago for "A Fish Called Wanda", so I'm very happy for her. Brendan Fraser was easily the best performance in the Lead Actor category, so I hope he takes the Oscar as well. I was so excited to see your reactions. Cheers!

Someone please tell me what breed is the doggo
