The 27th Screen Actors Guild Awards have been awarded, and “The Trial of the Chicago 7” walked away with the night’s biggest prize for ensemble film cast, adding a bit of a twist to the current Oscar frontrunners race. “Schitt’s Creek” continued its winning ways with a cast honor for the Pop TV comedy series, and “The Crown” also built upon its Emmy pedigree with a win in the drama category.

For the actors, the lead acting duo from “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” Chadwick Boseman and Viola Davis, took top honors, though Boseman missed out on winning a historic four awards that he was nominated for. Other film acting prizes went to “Minari” actress Yuh-Jung Youn and “Judas and the Black Messiah” actor Daniel Kaluuya.

Nominations were announced Feb. 4 by Lily Collins (Golden Globe-nominated for “Emily in Paris”) and Daveed Diggs (“Snowpiercer”) on @sagawards’ Instagram channel. With the problems that face the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., which runs the Golden Globes, the SAG Awards are being touted (at least by awards columnist Glenn Whipp) as the awards show that could step into a more prominent role during the awards season. After all, actors already make up the Academy Awards’ biggest voting block; why not elevate the ceremony devoted exclusively to them?

Here is the full list of winners and nominees for the 2021 SAG Awards.
