After a shortened, pre-taped ceremony last year, the SAGs returned with a more traditional, live ceremony on Sunday, Feb. 27.
The Coronavirus pandemic protocols however remained in place.
“Hamilton” legends Lin-Manuel Miranda, Leslie Odom Jr. and Daveed Diggs opened the 28th annual televised ceremony, which served as a bridge between January’s eroded, embattled Golden Globes and the upcoming, still-gilded Oscars on Sunday, March 27.
Meanwhile, Oscar-, Emmy- and Tony-winner Dame Helen Mirren (“The Queen”) was lauded as the organization’s 57th Life Achievement Award recipient. Mirren, 76, is the most decorated SAG Life Achievement recipient with 13 nominations and five wins.
While accepting her career honor from her peers, Mirren opted to call the award the S-A-G — pointing out at at her age she “hates to say the word ‘sag.’ “
Mirren continued, “I joined our tribe of rogues and vagabonds a long time ago. It is you actors I want to thank for your wit and your humor, all the giggles. I’ve laughed my whole life. Your hopeless dedication to our chosen profession. I get really p’d off when I hear about actors being maligned as a group — when in my experience, the opposite is true. We love and admire each other’s work. Together we laugh, we worry, we change clothes, we throw up, and we suffer diarrhea. Don’t you? I mean, I do.”
