United States: Everything Everywhere All at Once has dominated the Screen Actors Guild awards, winning four major awards and breaking the record for most wins for a single film.
With four wins, Everything Everywhere All at Once has broken the record for most SAG awards won by a single film ever since the awards began in 1995, passing four films, which won three awards.
The multiverse fantasy film with the story plot of a Chinese-American family undergoing a tax audit who end up fighting a universe-hopping supervillain won best actress for Ms. Michelle Yeoh, best supporting actor for Mr. Ke Huy Quan, and best supporting actress for Ms. Jamie Lee Curtis.
“I think if I speak, my heart will explode. This is not just for me. This is for every girl who looks like me. Thank you for giving me a seat at the table,” Ms. Yeoh shared.
Mr. Quan mentioned in his acceptance speech that he was the first Asian man in the history of the SAG awards to win an individual award in any film category and remarked that the moment no longer belonged to him but to everyone who “asked for change.”
“I love actors, I love acting, and I love the job we get to do. I know you look at me and you think “nepo baby,” and that’s why she’s there, and I totally get it. But the truth of the matter is that I’m 64 years old, and this is totally amazing,” Ms. Curtis commented.
The SAG prizes from the actors’ union round out a month in which Everything Everywhere has won best film from directors’ and producers’ groups too, making it a firm favourite for next month’s Oscars, which take place on March 12.
