Remember that at the Oscars?! Well, it looks like nothing has changed.

If you watched the SAG Awards, you may have noticed a pretty surprising absence by one particular A-lister.

Ariana DeBose becomes the first Afro-Latina queer actor to win a SAG Award in the best supporting actress category for her performance as Anita in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story. After accepting her award, the Puerto Rican descent star said her winning indicates “that doors are opening,” adding, “It’s an honor to an Afro Latina queer woman of color and a dancer and a singer and an actor.”DeBose also said that although she is the first, she will not be the last.

Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper gave each other a warm embrace when they were reunited at the 2022 SAG Awards on Sunday 27 February. The duo were nominated for a host of awards for their performance together in 2018 film A Star Is Born, but didn't win at the SAG awards in 2019 after losing out to Glenn Close (The Wife) and Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody). Lady Gaga, real name Stefani Germanotta, won a Critics Choice Awards for her performance, however.

Marlee Matlin is proud of the strides deaf actors have made.

In an upset, the deaf family drama “CODA” took top honors at an unpredictable and history-making 28th Screen Actors Guild Awards that also saw wins for the leads of “Squid Game," the cast of “Ted Lasso” and Will Smith.The ceremony, held Sunday at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, and broadcast on both TNT and TBS, was notably border-breaking, with historic wins for deaf actors, Korean stars and some of Hollywood's biggest names. It culminated with “CODA," Sian Heder's heartwarming Apple TV+ coming-of-age film featuring a trio of deaf actors in Marlee Matlin, Troy Kotsur and Daniel Durant, along with newcomer Emilia Jones, winning best ensemble.

It was a night when the pundit-predicted Oscar-season frontrunners The Power of the Dog and Belfast came up empty, and longer shots like CODA and The Eyes of Tammy Faye won key races that promise to add a bit more suspense as we glide toward the Oscars.

2022 SAG Awards Sunday night. That’s not good — because actors make up the biggest voting bloc at the upcoming Academy Awards. As Scooby Doo would say, “Ruh roh!”Netflix, the producer of director Jane Campion’s drama, started getting nervous when the favored Best Supporting Actor contender Kodi Smit-McPhee lost to the wonderful Troy Kotsur for “CODA” early in the evening. Moments later, Kirsten Dunst was brought to heel for Best Supporting Actress by Ariana DeBose for her ferocious turn as Anita in “West Side Story.” The final yell of “bad dog!” came when Benedict Cumberbatch surrendered Best Actor to Will Smith (“King Richard”), who will now surely go on to win the same award at the Oscars, after nabbing the SAG and the Golden Globe. “Power of the Dog” didn’t even manage a nomination for Best Ensemble. That slight doesn’t necessarily mean it’s out of the Best Picture Oscar race completely — “Nomadland,” “Green Book” and “Shape of Water” also didn’t nab nods for the biggest SAG prize — but winning zero acting awards will have rabid Netflix execs growling Monday morning.That big ensemble win instead went to “CODA,” the heartwarming dramedy that premiered at Sundance about a hearing woman who grows up in a deaf family.

At first, Sunday night’s Screen Actors Guild Awards were all about the landmarks. By the end, they were all about throwing the Oscar race into turmoil.The first award of the night went to the SAG Awards’ first deaf winner (Troy Kotsur for “CODA”) and the second to its first Latina winner (Ariana DeBose for “West Side Story”).

The cast of CODA hug it out on stage after picking up the award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture at the 2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday night (February 27).
