Original subtitles

From Los Angeles, California,

this is a Netflix live event.

The sun is setting, the stars are out,

and they're all walking the carpet, ready for the party of the year.

The biggest night for actors start right now.

Welcome to the 32nd Annual Actor Awards,

presented by SAG-AFTRA.

And then he just fired him, I was like, "What?"

- I choked on my popcorn-- - Who got fired?

- Janine? - No.

- Not yet. - Okay. No, we're talking about The Pitt.

Back to scene what hot doctor Robby fires the other hot doctor

- 'cause he's doing drugs. - "It's not what you think.

You see what I can do, Robby.

- Could a drug addict do what I can do?" - "Apparently.

And I just effing let him. You're done."

It's so good. And he says the "F" word, so you know it's good.

I think I know this show. They are on vacation

on some fancy resort

and Jennifer Lawrence is running around

'cause she's scared of being murdered on a boat.

No, no, you're thinking of White Lotus, and that's Jennifer Coolidge.

Okay, how about Parker P, though? "Piper, no!"

"Where's my Lorazepam?"

No, that is not it. But you know which one I did like?

That Martin Supreme.

Oh, man. It's that Chalamet

How old is he?

What, is he 16? Is he 38?

- That's how you know he's a good actor. - Yeah.

Tell you what y'all sleepin' on, Bugonia.

Aliens infiltrating' the human race

through the body-snatching of the elites. Art imitating life.

And they got a great bald representation.

Yeah, that one scene where they shave her head?

Oh, my God.

"Where's my hair?"

- "Your hair has been destroyed." - "You shaved off my hair?"

"Why?"

"To prevent you from contacting your ship."

Oh. Chills. What a performance.

All right, enough white movies.

- Let's talk Sinners. - Yeah.

- Yes. - Now that was a good movie.

Michael B. Jordan and his brother. Mmm.

No. Barb, Michael B. Jordan plays both brothers.

- He's both. - Yes.

- He played Smoke and Stack. - Right.

"Smoke, that ain't your brother.

This wasn't no juke joint, no club.

This here is a slaughterhouse."

I wanna be offended, but that was pretty good. Damn!

Hmm.

Back to the grind.

You can say that again.

My kids dumped glue on the carpet, sprinkled on some glitter,

it's just one battle after another.

Barb, nice! You know, Teyana, Chase, Regina.

Leo and them, they did their thing.

I do not have one student by any of those names.

Does she pay attention to anything that takes place in this school?

Oh, hello, I was just reading the script.

The first time I was ever on set, I was a background actor

in a movie called Tumbleweeds.

They put me so far down the beach I couldn't hear them call action or cut

until someone waved to me and told me when it was lunch.

I also got sunburned, stung by a bee and had to go to the hospital.

This is true.

The next time was on the show Judging Amy.

I was in the courthouse and I was a figure that walked behind wavy glass.

So between those two jobs,

if you look really close, you won't see me.

But just so you know, I was very happy to be there

and I am so happy to be here tonight and say,

- I'm Kristen Wiig and I'm an actor. - Whoo-hoo!

When I was seven years old, one of my favorite movies was Titanic.

I cried when Rose let Jack sink to the bottom

because we know good and well he could have fit his ass

on that goddamn door. But you know what?

I made a promise that if I ever got the chance

to work with Leonardo DiCaprio that I wouldn't let him drown. Mm-mm.

Instead, I run off, rob a bank and left him with a whole damn baby.

I am Teyana Taylor, and I'm an actor.

So, the grand irony of my sitting here right now

experiencing a period of wide acknowledgement

and relative success is that it's causing me

to think about the times in my career when things weren't going so well.

Being able to look back from a place of this current success,

times that were more challenging for me

is a testament yes to my own self belief and my ability to hang in.

But, hopefully, it's also an encouraging example

to all actors out there who may currently be facing their own challenges.

I am Delroy Lindo, I'm an actor.

And never forget, all you aspiring thespians,

you are too.

Hello.

I used to get in trouble for daydreaming.

I was accused of being disruptive, irreverent, dramatic.

I was sent home from school for inappropriate dress.

My makeup choices were too distracting.

I was "boy crazy" and too loud when I walked in a room.

Too opinionated in my ideas.

Well, to my great relief, it turns out

these are all very marketable skills.

My name is Kate Hudson, and I am an actor.

Before I left school...

Before I left school...

Before I left school and moved from Canada to LA

to try to make it as an actor, a teacher of mine told me,

"Fox, you're not gonna be cute forever." Didn't know what to say to that

so I said, "Maybe just long enough, sir."

After a few years of dumpster diving in LA, I ended up on Family Ties,

where I received the biggest gift of my career.

I met my wife, the actor Tracy Pollan,

who played Ellen, my girlfriend, and she gave me four gifts.

Our kids, Schuyler, Aquinnah, Esmé, and Sam.

Sometimes I like to remind them,

if it weren't for acting, they wouldn't be here.

By the way, he's not an actor, he's just my date.

I'm Michael J. Fox, and a dad, and I'm an actor.

And now, please welcome your host, Kristen Bell.

Good evening, everyone,

and welcome to the 32nd Annual Actor Awards.

New name, same girl.

Um, I am Kristen Bell and I am so thrilled to be here with all of you tonight.

I think the world can use some levity right now.

So we're gonna keep things fun tonight.

Um, now, in this business, we have a phrase,

it's called "going back to the well."

And it means when something works once,

you keep doing it over and over again.

You know, like, when Jason Bateman plays a likable curmudgeon.

Um, or when Sterling K. Brown

shows his beautiful butt cheeks onscreen.

Or when Claire Danes', um...

Claire Daneses, you know?

Uh, but I would like to rebrand going back to the well

as "leaning into your strengths."

And as you know, this year, the show got a little bit of a facelift.

Like many people in this room can understand.

We nipped the "SAG."

And now it's just the "Actor Awards" but thinking about it got me

thinking about rebranding 'cause at one time or another,

everyone has thought about...

A stage name up on the marquees

That rolls off the tongue With melodious ease

A stage name to bring you acclaim

To double your luck And to triple your fame

A stage name that says who you are

That tells the whole world Baby, I am a star

A stage name, that's clever and clear

And graceful ages Throughout your career

But here's the thing, I feel like the people in this room

could be doing so much more with their stage names. For instance...

Emily Stone, chose Emma Stone

And don't worry, Emma You're not alone

Most people here Just shorten their names

Like to Brit or to Ted Or to Billy Bob instead

Or how Benicio Del Toro was born

Benicio Monserrate Rafael Del Toro Sanchez

Love those trims

But a stage name Should be something fun

A name to ensure you're the only one

A stage name, it's easy to switch

And if you need ideas I'm happy to pitch

Jacob Elordi, Jacordy O'Lordy!

Hey, Ted Danson, try Teddy Dandaughter.

Teyana Taylor, Teytay.

Mononym. Noah Wyle, Indoctrinate Me.

Jesse Plemons, Jesse Plimes.

Chase Infiniti, no notes.

I'm telling you this as a cautionary tale, from one fisherman to another.

The universe handed me an opportunity and I blew it.

In 2005, my headshots, they were misprinted.

I threw them away, and I asked for a refund.

But it was a grave mistake.

In a sea of Kristens, Kirstens and Kierstens,

I could have been the one and only Krinsten.

Krinsten Bell!

So choose carefully What name goes on your SAG-AFTRA card

It's the name that millions of people Might step on on Hollywood Boulevard

A stage name

Each syllable counts

A name we'll remember

And won't mispronounce

It's yours we might announce

So, tonight, just take it in

'Cause in this room, you're adored

And perhaps, for just a moment Let your faith be restored

We do not time your speeches So go overboard

At the SAG Awar...

Fuck me!

At the Actor Awards

There are...

There are so many great actors here with us tonight

who have delivered such brilliant performances this year.

So let's take a look at some of the best.

Are you watching?

We should be dreaming about something big.

All the things she said Runnin' through my head

This meeting is gonna be a vibe.

I have a purpose.

That means I have an obligation to see a very specific thing through.

And with that obligation, comes sacrifice.

I am complicit, but I am not a monster.

Being with you has opened my eyes

- What the... - Uh-oh.

This isn't it. This can't be it.

I don't know what to do.

I wanna find me a place Where it's just you and me

Nobody else so we can be free

Look at me.

- Look at me now! - No fear.

All the things she said All the things she said

All the things she said All the things she said

All the things she said All the things she said...

That was really good.

Ooh!

I felt like Tony Montana!

Mother looking at me

Tell me, what do you see?

Oh!

I've lost my mind

The world does not give a...

Daddy looking at me

Will I ever be free?

Have I crossed the line?

I'm single-handedly keeping film alive.

I'm gonna drink myself to sleep.

Y'all know what time it is.

Upon my signal, unleash hell.

That's our job.

And now it is time for the first Actor Award of the night.

And ever, really, hear are Connor Storrie, and my friend, Kathryn Hahn.

Excuse me, I need to wear my glasses.

I'm going blind.

Um, before we present this award...

...we have a confession that we'd like to make.

Um, first of all, I wasn't even supposed to be presenting this award.

- No. - Right now, I am Bowen Yang.

Because he is casually stuck in Antarctica.

- Yeah, no, that's for real. - Yeah.

Yeah. Do you'll remember when he played an actual iceberg on SNL?

Mm-mm. I mean, not really, but.

Yeah, me neither.

- Okay. But anyway, you know what? - The drama.

We are here for it.

You know what? And we can find drama anywhere.

- Hmm. I love drama. - Me too.

- I love drama. - And romance. Like your show.

- But mostly drama. - And sex.

A lot of sex.

Um, you know, I can't even watch

someone on the treadmill without wondering if their stride

is fueled by a lifetime of frustrations, a divorce, a shit ton of pills.

Well, you are speaking my language now.

Pfft.

You know...

I thought I was...

- I thought I was alone. - No. No.

These performances from these incredible actors,

nominated for outstanding performance

by a female in a drama series, are everything that we look for.

Here are the nominees.

Britt Lower, Severance.

Miss Casey is...

Well, she's one of us.

So if you wanna help your outie and find out what happened to her,

I'll help.

Parker Posey, The White Lotus.

I just don't think...

at this age, I'm...

meant to live an uncomfortable life.

I don't have the will.

Keri Russell, The Diplomat.

I said I would've done the same thing.

And yet you were trying to replace me, with you.

As vice president, you were replaceable.

In your current role, you are not.

Rhea Seehorn, Pluribus.

You're gonna forget everything you know about Helen.

Every memory, every thought she ever had.

Get her out of your head. Heads.

Aimee Lou Wood, The White Lotus.

Amor fati.

Know what that means?

I don't know what that means.

It means you have to embrace your fate, good or bad. Whatever will be, will be.

And the Actor goes to...

Keri Russell from The Diplomat.

Gosh!

Dang it, this is...

Thank you very much. I don't know...

I thought, "For sure, no." Um, okay.

Uh, this is... Thank you so much.

This is such an honor. And to be voted by the peers, it's just incredible.

And I have to say, this show is so wonderful

because of Debora Cahn who writes our show, and...

Any one of you would be so lucky to be on this show.

Her writing is so good.

And Rufus, who is with me is... You are so good in this show

as is every single actor on this show.

We always say... Rufus and I always say,

"Every single one of you could have your own show

and their character could be a full show."

You are all so good and, I'm just grateful.

Thank you very much, and happy St. David's Day to my Welsh guy.

Thank you very much.

Please welcome Jenna Ortega.

Hello. Hi, everyone.

It's an absolute honor to present the award

for outstanding performance by a male actor in a comedy series.

These nominees are generational talents from Cheers, SCTV,

Mad TV, Freaks and Geeks, The O.C.

Even though they've been making audiences laugh

since way back in the 1900s. Their humor and wit...

...is, of course, timeless. Here are the nominees.

Ike Barinholtz, The Studio.

I got you the original director of Smile

to basically remake his own movie for this studio.

If a scary smile could gross over 200,000,000

imagine what a scary wink could do. Ahh!

Adam Brody, Nobody Wants This.

I think I'm being very calm, given the situation.

- Likewise. That's very nice to hear. - Rabbi Noah.

Yeah?

Ted Danson, A Man On The Inside.

No, I'm not. I'm... I'm not.

You know, in relationship years, I'm basically a teenager.

I haven't dated anyone new since the Carter administration.

Seth Rogen, The Studio.

I did it. When this breaks on Deadline, I'm gonna look like a genius.

All those people who wrote articles about what a dumb schmuck I am,

they'll have to write new posts and articles about what a genius I am.

Martin Short. Only Murders in the Building.

Yes. Gary and I go way back.

In fact, he was the one who rescued my Tony in '94

- when I accidentally put it in the chute. - Your Tony?

My Tony Robbins bobblehead. I got it on the last night of the seminar

when I walked the hot coals. I told you that.

And the Actor goes to...

Seth Rogen, The Studio.

Thank you. Hello! Wow, what an honor. What an award.

This is a great awards show. I don't think... this is...

They got food, drinks and shit, this is incredible.

It's not 100 million degrees in here, it's wonderful.

You were able to pa your own employees enough

to keep the award show from being canceled.

Take notes, WGA. Um...

A true honor, uh, to be here.

Uh, I honestly...

I hoped my ego was strong enough, uh, to withstand losing to Ike.

I'm glad I don't have to find out.

I would've been meaner to you at work. No matter what.

It would've created a weird dynamic on set.

I can admit that. Um...

It's truly... I've always honestly kind of considered myself more of a writer

who is able to write myself roles

that I then forced people to allow me to perform in,

but this actually makes me feel like an actor for this evening,

so I really appreciate it. Thank you all. Have a good night.

And now, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, and Christoph Waltz.

Working with Guillermo del Toro is on every actor's list

of impossible dreams.

Guillermo had us look closer at characters who are misunderstood,

the misfits, the creatures and the overlooked,

so that we might see ourselves in them.

When Elizabeth first meets the creature, she is not afraid.

She is overcome by a deep sense of compassion and wonder.

I was immersed in that sense of wonder each day on set,

and in awe of the level of care each artist poured into their craft.

As actors, it was a thrilling responsibility

to bring Guillermo's decades-long dream to life.

When watching a movie, our curiosity is to be encouraged,

our emotions protected, our imagination taken seriously.

The scope and details of this production,

the sets, the costumes, the makeup,

all speak to a film made by humans for humans.

It pulls us into...

It pulls us into this fantastical world,

allowing us to identify with

and share what Victor, Elizabeth, and of course,

the creature, experience

in their mesmerizing endeavors.

This is Frankenstein.

You, the great Victor Frankenstein.

You made a mistake.

I've created something truly horrible.

Not something.

Someone.

I've not yet finished.

Much more carnage will ensue.

No. No!

You know, the Actor Awards are so pure. It's not like other awards shows,

where the celebration of art is reduced down to competition and campaigning.

This is about actors supporting actors.

And I am here to change that.

Because this year, I'm escalating the competition,

starting with a table tennis tournament.

Different pairings will be playing throughout the night,

and the winner will receive this.

You would be shocked to know how long this took me to make.

Our first challengers are Ted Danson and Jackie Tohn. Let the games begin.

Okay, service.

All right.

Is this your face on the ball, Kristen?

Yes, it is, Ted, because I'm in charge here.

- You're drunk on power, bro. - Begin!

Going down, Danson.

Ouch, ouch, my face.

- Ow, my face. - Stop that.

You're throwing me off.

What are you doing?

- Ow, my face. Jackie, I hope you win. - Thanks, buddy.

- How can you say that. - She's my best friend.

- I thought I was your best friend. - It's a tier! Not a person.

- I really am bad at this. - Okay.

Well, uh, sorry, Jackie.

This one goes to my other best friend, Teddy Dandaughter.

I never saw that coming. Uh, you will be moving on to round 2, sir.

Congratulations. More table tennis to come.

In the meantime, to present our next award,

here are Janelle James and Sterling K. Brown.

Hello, we're here to present the award

for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor

in a Television Movie or Limited Series.

The nominees are a group of fine actors who have demonstrated remarkable range.

Range? Speaking of range, you know, people know me for comedy,

but I can be dramatic, too.

Really?

- Here's a little something. - Okay.

"I gave you 11 fucking years of my life,

and you leave me for a white woman?"

- "Would it be better if she was white?" - "No."

- "If she was Black?" - Oh!

We'll run it back.

Go ahead.

- Go ahead. - My part?

"Would it be better if she was Black?"

"No."

- "It would be better if you were Black." - That is cold, ice cold.

You got me.

That's a little Angela Bassett for y'all.

- I see. Okay, wait. - From Waiting to Exhale.

Fun fact, even though I ruined that joke,

I actually can be funny.

I think people know now.

- Can I try? - Go for it.

- Set the scene for tonight, sir. - Okay.

Come on, Brown.

As you can see, the theme of tonight is the '20s and '30s Hollywood.

With everything happening now,

we wanted to bring you back to a happier time,

the Great Depression.

Come on!

Bada-bing. Set up,

- execution, he nailed the assignment. - Appreciate it.

He nailed the assignment, just like...

the incredible women

in this category tonight.

You really can be dramatic.

Thank you so much, I know.

And the nominees are...

Claire Danes, The Beast in Me.

What about Madison's parents? I can't talk to them either?

You say you're misunderstood, but who will believe me if I only talk to you?

Erin Doherty, Adolescence.

I'm not a police officer, I'm not here to elicit a confession.

I'm just here to understand. I know you think I'm trying to trick you.

Christine Tremarco, Adolescence.

I think it'd be good

if we accepted that maybe we should have done.

I think it'd be okay for us to think that.

Michelle Williams, Dying for Sex.

I actually don't know what I like or what I want.

I've never...

I've never even had an orgasm with another person.

And now I'm going to die.

Sarah Snook, All Her Fault.

Are you sleeping with Carrie Finch?

I don't care. You can have her. I just want my son back. I just...

Peter, I want my son back.

Just give me my son back.

All right.

And the Actor goes to...

Michelle Williams, Dying for Sex.

Oh, wow.

Thank you so much. This is such a surprise.

Um, I-I've been doing this since I was very young,

and I thought that when you played somebody's kid,

it meant that you were actually their family.

So I was always bereft at the end of a job to say goodbye to mommy and daddy

and never hear from them again.

But to Jenny, to Rob, to Jay, to David,

to Esco, to Sissy,

Um, I will let nothing of you go ever.

And to the geniuses of the flying penises,

Kim, Liz, Shannon, I love you guys.

Um, to FX and 20th for giving me a forever home.

And to the real life Nikki and Molly, this is for you, this is about you.

And to the Nikki to my Molly, Busy, I love you.

Thank you.

And now, Chase Infiniti, Teyana Taylor,

Benicio Del Toro, and Regina Hall.

Bob Ferguson,

Deandra, Lockjaw, Willa, Sensei,

and Perfidia Beverly Hills.

Six characters who come roaring life onto the big screen

in Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another.

No one tells Perfidia what to do or how to be.

I was given the freedom to cut loose and do my thing,

to help give life to this complex and complicated woman

who loves, thrives, and lives in survival mode.

Sensei Sergio St. Carlos took his first true breaths of life

after I landed on set in El Paso.

The filmmakers built an entire world

filled with professional actors and area locals

who brought truth and texture to every frame.

I was the first actor who got to read the screenplay,

and in a powerful and timely story

filled with not only action but a lot of humor,

which I've enjoyed playing throughout my career,

I was able to embody the quiet strength and humanity of Deandra,

a revolutionary whose steadfast commitment to the cause never fades.

As some of you know, this is my first feature film.

I trained in martial arts and auditioned for over six months,

doing screen tests opposite Leo and Regina.

It was an ideal boot camp of sorts,

which prepared me to stand with confidence

alongside giants including Leo and Sean,

to hold my own and discover my own inner strength,

just as Willa herself must do to survive.

This is One Battle After Another.

This is Bob Ferguson.

I was a part of the French 75.

My name is Perfidia Beverly Hills. This is a declaration of war.

Steve Lockjaw just attacked my home.

And I cannot remember, for the life of my only child,

the answer to your question.

Maybe you should have studied the rebellion text a little harder.

You know, you are so unsuitable for my daughter.

My child comes from a whole line of revolutionaries.

And you look so lost.

- Scared? - No.

Well, you should be.

- You know what freedom is? - What?

No fear. Go.

You think you're my daughter?

Get on. Hurry, hurry, hurry!

If it's not one thing, it's another.

I find that to be true.

Please welcome Lisa Kudrow.

Hi.

Um, so, okay, I'm here to present this year's award

for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series.

Um, now, this year's nominees are iconic,

and they gave truly brilliant performances.

So, look, if I'm gonna do a little comedy bit here,

I know it really has to be worth it, right?

The nominees are...

Kathryn Hahn, The Studio.

New York City. The Big Apple back in the day.

It's got grit,

it's got a skyline, we've got Lady Libs, and also, never forget.

Jenna Ortega, Wednesday.

Which part of prohibited items don't you understand, young lady?

The part where you believe cramming hundreds of people

into a metal tube flying through the air

creates a utopia where weapons aren't needed.

Jean Smart, Hacks.

You know how much work we have to do.

We don't have the time to find out what their last names are and that shit.

But this is a retreat.

I called it that because,

legally I was advised I couldn't take them into an office on the weekend.

You're insane!

Kristen Wiig, Palm Royale.

Wouldn't you know, the one thing in my life that doesn't want to leave me.

Really?

Ugh.

These theatrics are exhausting.

You know I bloat when I'm anticipating travel.

Catherine O'Hara, The Studio.

We lose Greta tonight, you know that?

Yeah, she's flying to London tomorrow for some top secret Nolan film.

I read the script. It's a Jack the Ripper thing.

Spoiler alert, he's a she.

And the Actor goes to...

Catherine O'Hara, The Studio.

Hello, um...

I'm not...

I was, uh, asked to assume the very sad honor

of accepting this award on O'Hara's behalf.

Um, I know she would have been honored

to receive this award from her fellow performers,

who I know she respected so much. She was such big fans of all of yours.

Um, I obviously, you know, have been reflecting

on the time I was fortunate enough to spend with her

and working with her.

Um, and something I've just been marveling at the past few weeks was

really her ability to be generous and kind and gracious

while never ever minimizing her own talents

and her own ability to contribute to the work that we were doing.

She knew she could destroy,

and she wanted to destroy every day on set.

And, I mean, I haven't said this to the other actors

'cause I didn't want them to get ideas,

but pretty much every evening before she had a shooting day on our show,

she would email me and Evan an email,

that always was similar, and it said,

"Hello, I hope you'll consider the following."

And then there would be a completely rewritten version of the scene...

...she was in.

Um, and literally 100% of the time, it made not just her character better,

but it made the scene better and the entire show better as a whole.

And she really showed that you can be a genius and be kind,

and one of those things does not have to come

at the expense of the other in any way, shape, or form.

So I guess... I'll just leave you with this.

If you have people in your lives that don't know her work,

if there are kids in your lives

or just people who are out of touch or stupid or something,

just... show them O'Hara dancing to Harry Belafonte in Beetlejuice,

show them O'Hara hurting her knee in Best in Show,

and doing that amazing thing where she hobbles around.

And tell the people as they're laughing that that's Catherine O'Hara.

That we were lucky that we got to live in a world

where she so generously shared her talents with us.

Thank you.

Coming up next, the Bard and his bride from Hamnet.

Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley.

And the women of The Office reunite

to hand out the award for Ensemble in a Comedy Series.

Plus, more of the biggest stars of film and TV,

as the 32nd Annual Actor Awards presented by SAG-AFTRA continues.

All right, you little freshmen bitches!

Hello, imbeciles.

Let's start with some tough love.

Do you want a deal with the devil?

What am I gonna do with a soul anyways?

- Hello, Newman. - Hello, Jerry.

Tell me you got that.

- How are you? - Not great, Bob.

She's my sister. She's the worst!

- This cannot go out. - Girl, it's out. It's up and out.

Hey, it's about time. Thank you.

Why do people like characters that behave this poorly?

Here's that script you wanted, ugly.

If TV shows were just five people in a room

being really nice to one another, it wouldn't be very compelling.

I can't stand the wailing of women. Oh!

Oh, my God!

Hello!

It's very liberating to be the troublemaker.

What kind of human being would I be

if I couldn't ring joy for my dear friend's misery?

And in the case of Janice, she doesn't know she's making trouble.

It's a very guileless character experience to be the person

who's creating this crazy ripple effect without knowing it.

It's called taking advantage. Gets you ahead in life.

Maybe they just like seeing chaos.

I will be president, or I will be nothing.

You shut the fuck up, you dumb recessed-face anus?

It's a show of people who disagree with one another.

But one thing that they can all agree on is that they dislike me.

What are you laughing about, jolly green jizzface!

- S-Sorry. - That's a fun one to take home.

I'm what I am.

People like that come into a room,

it's like, we know something's gonna happen.

Smile.

Hey, mind your own business. How about that?

That unsettling feeling of like, "Oh, God, she's going to do that."

- What, you want me to beg you? - Yes. Beg me to forgive you.

- La-di-da. - Get in, loser. We're going shopping.

You just gonna let her talk to you like that and threaten you?

Ha-ha!

You'll be sorry, Pee-Wee Herman!

Ta-da!

That was funny.

You know what's not funny? Hamnet.

Speaking of, please welcome Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal.

Hamnet, Maggie O'Farrell's extraordinary novel

provided a rich blueprint for a film that examines the lives

of William Shakespeare and his unforgettable wife Agnes.

Together they forge a beautiful bond,

only to endure the highs and lows of love, loss and family.

When we arrived at the iconic Globe Theatre

to shoot the final sequence of the film,

we knew we needed an ending that would unlock

the emotional power at the heart of this moment.

It was a piece of Max Richter's music that served as the key.

As Agnes witnesses the first performance of Hamlet,

she reaches out her hand, and one by one,

the 300 strangers surrounding her unite in a shared gesture.

What we all ended up experiencing, together, in that moment,

was the transformative power of storytelling.

The catharsis we all feel together,

whether in the cinema or the Globe Theatre,

reminds us our stories live forever.

This is Hamnet.

Is it true?

You know everything about a person by touching them here.

Not everything.

He's got more inside of him than any man I've ever met.

The women in my family see things.

What do you see?

You're having twins, my girl.

What do you wish to do, Hamnet?

I shall be one of Father's players.

- Will you be brave? - Yes.

When shall we three meet again?

Never forget for a moment they may be gone.

- Mamma. - You should go to London.

That place in your head is now more real to you than anywhere else.

I am myself.

"I am myself indifferent honest." Again.

Do you not wonder what is in it?

- In what? - The play.

Keep your heart open.

Look. What do you see?

To die, to sleep...

Perchance to dream...

Please welcome Meg Stalter and Paul W. Downs.

Oh, my God. My girlfriends, I love you.

Um, I cannot believe this is happening right now.

Thank you, SAG-AFTRA. Thank you to our amazing cast.

Jessie, Paul. The other Paul.

- No... - Chloé, you have changed my life.

- Meg, what are you doing. Honey... - Mom, hi.

No, no. What are you doing?

I'm accepting our awards for our roles in Hamnet.

- No... - Did you want to go first?

No, no, we're... Sorry.

- We're presenting an award. - I can't breathe.

We're presenting...

Meg, I hate to tell you this, but they cut us from the movie.

- We're not in the final cut of Hamnet. - What!

Yeah, they... Look.

I'm sorry. So we were the comic relief in Hamnet.

- Hello! - We played...

We played two provincial nobles who were inbred, um...

Can people sit down, we're talking.

It was political satire, I think.

Anyway, ultimately our director, Chloé,

didn't feel like it meshed with the tone of the film and so yeah, we were cut.

Happens every day in Hollywood, right?

This is unbelievable. Even the freakin' merkin stuff?

I was in my trailer for four hours gluing that dang thing on.

I still have it on.

You have the merkin on now?

- Yes, I'm wearing it. - All right, all right.

Yeah, Meg, the entire storyline was cut. Did you not see the movie?

I don't watch stuff that I'm in, psycho.

Oh! Great.

- I guess our big, big song was cut too. - They cut everything.

Jessie, you were laughing your butt off listening to that song

Sorry, I know we're not allowed to cuss.

I will say that Jessie, you did break a lot during the song.

So I wish you had said something.

- Jessie, say something. - This is our union, Jessie.

- Say something for real, it's me. - You know what?

They were breaking all over the place. I will say that.

People were breaking and laughing. It was crazy.

Okay, fine. Let's just do the song.

We were milking our cows all day

Milking the day away

Drip-drop, drip-drop

Meg, Meg, Meg, Meg. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

- They like it. They like it. - We don't have the rights.

Jessie, say... Come on.

Look. Here's the deal, Meg.

Nobody cares about comedy, okay?

It's all about the drama. All right? Drama is top dog.

Nobody wants to laugh.

Yeah, I guess I'll take off my beautiful dress

go put on a boring outfit and cry all day

'cause you guys don't want to laugh.

Yeah, I guess you should. I don't know. It's sad, but it's true.

So, to that end, here are the nominees

for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series.

Sterling K. Brown. Paradise.

Samantha Redmond, code name Sinatra, is behind this.

She's pulling the strings and the other billionaires are marching in step.

Billy Crudup. The Morning Show.

No! We're making dreams here. We're the luckiest people in the world.

The tomoco massage bottle of chilled skin contact wine,

beautiful and useless,

waiting for her in her car by the time we wrap, okay?. Go.

Walton Goggins, The White Lotus.

How can I get over everything he's taken from me?

He took my whole fucking life.

Gary Oldman. Slow Horses.

Knock on the door.

What? Me?

Yesterday, you physically assaulted the mayor.

I don't know why get your knickers in a twist about knocking on a door.

Noah Wyle. The Pitt.

I broke.

You didn't break.

- You didn't break. - I shut down.

The moment everybody needed me the most, I wasn't there.

I couldn't do it. I choked.

Everyone's okay.

And the winner is... Who do you think it's gonna be?

No, I-I can't say.

Adam Sandler?

He's not in the category.

- He was so good in Spanglish. Okay. - He was great in Spanglish.

I can't really read this handwriting.

Okay. And the award goes to Noah Wyle.

Wow. Um...

Somebody had told me that you had to say seven words to get a SAG card

And in 1990 I got one line in a television miniseries

called Blind Faith with Robert Urich and Joanna Kerns.

One line, five words, and I spent all morning in my four-banger

scheming on how to stretch that out so I could get my card,

and I improvised.

"Excuse me, what's going on down there?"

And then I found out it didn't matter.

But what did matter was getting that card.

This card which I've had in my wallet

for the last 36 years.

I love being an actor.

I love actors, working with you,

playing with you, and, when necessary, marching alongside of you

has been the greatest joy of my life.

I am so grateful to this union

and for all the protections and privileges that it affords me.

I don't take it for granted.

I don't forget the hard-won fights and battles

by giants who fought before us.

On whose shoulders I and we all stand.

Uh, I'm so grateful for this.

I'm so grateful to the membership of SAG-AFTRA,

to the membership of all of our sibling unions,

especially our cast and crew, and to labor unions everywhere.

Thank you so much. Thank you so much.

All the way from Scranton, PA, your favorite Office mates.

Mindy Kaling, Ellie Kemper, Jenna Fischer, and Angela Kinsey.

So, we are women who survived 22-episode seasons.

Yes, yes, 22.

There were no short orders.

Yeah, you didn't plan a season around a pregnancy.

Yeah, you just gave birth on camera and named the baby after a grip.

Then you came back the next week with another episode.

- And another. - And another.

It was relentless.

But 22 episodes meant you had a job from September to May.

- It meant-- Yes! - Yeah.

It meant Christmas episodes and Valentine's episodes,

and Super Bowl episodes.

And sometimes filler episodes that were kind of bad.

Yeah, like someone's sibling comes to town.

Nobody wants to see that.

But it didn't matter because there was always

another one right around the corner.

We turned our experience into a podcast.

Yeah, mm-hmm, we did.

Because people love behind-the-scenes stories.

- Thank you back there. - I love you.

Should I do a podcast about writing?

Oh...

Mindy, no one cares about writers.

Got it.

- So, whether it's six episodes... - Or 22...

Comedy is hard in any number.

Which is why we are genuinely in awe of anyone

who can make people laugh consistently.

Here are the nominees for Outstanding Performance

- by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. - Abbott Elementary.

Since there aren't enough second graders for two classes,

Miss Tees will now have 40 students.

I, for one, am excited to see if it will break her.

- Welcome back. - I will be turning up.

You got me so excited.

Preteens are different than second graders.

You seemed way smarter when we were in second grade.

- What do you think kindergarten is? - New Year. Same old Abbott.

The Bear.

I don't want this place to be chaos.

We could take care of people.

We can make it calm, we can make it delicious,

we can make people happy.

I don't want you to hide from things just because you can.

Hi, bear.

There's one really true thing about restaurants.

You are never alone.

Hacks.

Blackmail on day one, not good.

She's been doing this for 50 years. You're not gonna beat her at her own game.

Nobody beats Deborah.

This is a big moment for you.

If this is how independent, strong women treat a nice guy,

feminism has gone too far.

Only Murders In The Building.

Guys, the police report just came in.

Lester had a run in with the mobster the night he died.

I found a finger.

Nobody accidentally slices off their finger.

This is a message.

- The horse head in The Godfather. - I know it.

- You got your hands on the body. - Hey!

That's a felony, right?

I'm sure they went to the authorities immediately.

The Studio.

Prestige films and box office hits, those are not mutually exclusive.

This job is so much harder than I thought it was gonna be.

- Matt. - What up, Matt?

Everyone wants something from me, I can't give it to them.

Fine is not good enough.

- This is racist. - You want to bring down the studio?

- Why didn't you shut this party down? - Why do you keep lying?

- What is wrong with me? - Well, you're gonna get us all fired.

All right.

And the Actor goes to...

The Studio!

Thank you. Thank you.

Um, I'm back. Um... Uh...

This is such an honor.

I really...

This show would not be possible to even produce

were it not for the amazing talents

of the ensemble of actors that I work with every day.

We shoot every scene in one take.

There's no coverage, there's no singles,

there's no close-ups, no masters, there's no insert shots.

Every scene in the show is one continuous take.

And so, if anyone messes up anything.

you're potentially messing up a great performance

by one of your fellow actors.

You improvise something great, someone laughs,

then you've ruined that.

It can be... It's a real team effort

to a degree that

probably nothing I've ever made in my entire life has been.

And that's what I wanted, and when I put the cast together,

I was looking for people I was excited to perform with every day,

and who I knew would be able to carry

the weight of this very difficult way to shoot.

So Kathryn, Chase, and O'Hara,

this show wouldn't be makeable without all of you guys.

And I love working with you all day, every day.

I look forward to being with you tomorrow bright and early.

So, thank you again. This is a real honor. Thank you all very much.

Whoa! Okay.

Rhea, Rhea!

I was hoping that I would run into you.

- Hey. - Do you mind if I ask you

something kind of important?

- Sure. - Okay.

What is a Pluribus about?

- Oh, you haven't seen it? - No, I watched it.

Okay. Um...

So, all right, well, my character is a novelist.

Right, I understood that part.

Okay, then, there is this alien RNA signal.

Okay, don't know what that is.

Right, that creates a collective hive mind.

Okay, bad. Right.

Well, I mean, the hive mind is peaceful.

So, it's good?

Actually, it's kind of complicated, because they are peaceful, but are they?

Okay. I'll put a question mark here.

And then my character is immune.

Right, how is that?

Well, nobody really knows, but, Internet has a lot of theories,

like, maybe it's due to a rare genetic marker,

or maybe past unresolved trauma.

But your character is good, right?

Is she?

- That's what I asked. Is she? - What do you think?

What, do I want to be a part of the hive mind?

- Do you? - Will you just tell me?

We just want the best for you, Kristen.

We all just want what's best for you, Kristen.

Okay, that's a wrap on me! You know, I actually have to go.

Because I've got almost a show so you guys can see your way out.

We'll be right back.

When we return, we've got Smoke and Stack--

Michael B. Jordan and the cast of Sinners.

Plus, it's a Homeland reunion

when Claire Danes and Damian Lewis present ensemble in a drama series.

And later,

we hand out the Actor for Outstanding Performance

by a Male and Female in a Leading Role,

all at the 32nd Annual Actor Awards, live on Netflix.

Please welcome Damson Idris and Yerin Ha.

Every year, some of the most shocking and twisted characters

come to us in the form of limited series or TV movies.

Characters you thought you loved can pivot on a dime and reveal their true natures

in one brutal scene, one insane moment-- or, this year, in one 60-minute take.

The five actors nominated for Outstanding Performance

by a Male Actor in a television movie or limited series

took intriguing roles and deepened them with pure power and skill.

Sometimes scaring the hell out of us.

Here are the nominees.

Jason Bateman, Black Rabbit.

If we're gonna be lying to everybody else,

we need to be honest with each other, Jake, okay?

You wanna know why? 'Cause I'm back.

I am back, and we are partners. Tell me you get that.

Owen Cooper, Adolescence.

Did I scare you when I shouted?

- She wrote this on your Instagram. - I mean, I'm only 13.

I don't think I look that scary.

Stephen Graham, Adolescence.

He just kept saying, "It wasn't me.

Dad, it wasn't me."

And I believed him.

Charlie Hunnam, Monster: The Ed Gein Story.

I don't know who I am.

Why I do the things that I do.

Why I hear voices.

Matthew Rhys, The Beast in Me.

Do not give me that look.

Do not give me that sanctimonious, hypocritical bullshit.

Like you didn't get everything you wanted!

Everything!

And the Actor goes to...

Owen Cooper for Adolescence.

Owen Cooper couldn't be here tonight, so, I'll be taking this home! Peace.

As you can see, round two of Kristen Bell's Actor Awards

Sports Championship is underway with Ted Danson and Ike Barinholtz.

Hold on, one second. Yes?

Can I talk to you about that trophy you made?

Yeah.

- I mean, it's clearly-- - Yeah, yeah, it's him, it's him.

How did you make it both offensive and flattering?

Well, I used a combination of clay and lust.

Okay. Well, maybe you can give...

This!

- Uh, okay, and that's definitely-- - Yeah, it's you.

Okay. Uh...

- Is it a little cross-eyed? - Yeah, it is.

Okay.

- Can I be honest with you? - Yeah.

- I love it. - Okay, great.

Uh, I love it.

And that is the kind of spirit that I'm talking about, okay?

Let's go, kind-of sports!

Whoa, Ike!

Ike just took it. Congrats, Ike.

You are entering the finals.

And now, let's move on to another nominated cast!

From Sinners, here are Michael B. Jordan,

Miles Caton, Delroy Lindo, and Wunmi Mosaku.

Sinners was a singular experience for all of us--

the entire cast and crew in front of and behind the camera,

and for moviegoers all over the world.

An experience that was, at once,

exceptionally entertaining but also deeply spiritual.

One of the things that made this film so impactful is that

it taught each of us something about our personal and collective identity--

about the legacies we came from, about where we're going,

and about the profoundly emotional journey along the way.

And each of us gained knowledge that was unexpected.

I learned to play the guitar.

Delroy learned how to play the harmonica.

Wunmi learned hoodoo practices.

All empowering, beautiful gifts to receive as performers.

Playing Smoke and Stack didn't just challenge me as actor,

it required me to become two people.

Two men, one soul, in 24 hours.

That's not a script, that's a reckoning.

This is Sinners.

There are legends of people with the gift of making music so true,

it can conjure spirits from the past and the future.

This gift can bring fame and fortune.

Well, somebody take me

But it can also pierce the veil between life and death.

I don't believe in magic,

ghosts, demons--

Just power.

- Is that you? - Of course, it's me. Open the door.

That ain't your brother.

Together again, please welcome, from Homeland,

Claire Danes and Damian Lewis.

It is our honor to present the Award for Best Ensemble in a Drama Series.

Truly incredible shows in this category.

Five all-time greats.

Remind me, Claire, did Homeland ever win for Ensemble?

Uh, no, no. It did not, and that's why we're here today.

We would like a rematch.

- We lost to what, Downtown Abbey... - Yup.

- Breaking Bad... - Yup.

No, never heard of them. Uh...

Bryan Cranston, Michelle Dockery, you're great, we love you,

but this time you're going down.

No, I know.

And our ensemble was all solid heavy hitters!

I mean, F. Murray Abraham?

Mandy Patinkin?

We even had Timothée Chalamet on our show!

Where do you think he learned how

- to handle the stress of a Safdie movie? - Yeah.

We made you, Timothée.

Just saying, and we're ready for a recount.

And we're also ready for this award.

Here are the nominees for Best Ensemble in a Drama Series.

The Diplomat.

- President Rayburn died four minutes ago. - Who was he talking to?

President Rayburn was on the phone with Hal.

I thought I was warning

the Commander-in-Chief he had a rogue deputy.

Our Prime Minister is concealing explosive information on your behalf.

I expected more from you.

You should get a lawyer.

Probably.

Landman.

I want success.

Get it for me.

Dad, I'm playing on the house's money.

- No, you're playing with devil's money. - I wasted 60 years on hope.

There are so many things about our lives that need to be fixed.

- This ought to be good. - Hey! I'm coming!

- Who pissed in your fruit loops? - God.

It's the first thing he did this morning.

The Pitt.

Welcome to the Pitt. Let's go save some lives.

- Am I gonna die? - Not now that I'm here.

- Is it always this busy? - No. It gets a lot busier.

Are we ready to call this?

150,000 people die every day in the world.

Today you got one of them.

And we're gonna get more of them before this shift is over.

Severance.

The four of you have become known as the face of Severance Reform.

- This is obscene! - I just wanna be sure.

You don't value them.

You fear them.

- We fear no one. - Mark W.?

- Why are you a child? - Because of when I was born.

The White Lotus.

Our hotel is the best in the world.

At the end of the week, you will be an entirely different person.

Someone once said the secret to life is knowing when to stop.

You have to embrace your fate, good or bad.

What if we lost everything?

Honestly, I don't know if I'd want to live.

I just don't have it in me.

- Go big or go home, right? - Mm-hmm.

In a goddamn body bag.

And the Actor goes to...

The Pitt.

I'll be honest and say that out of all the trophies that are out there,

I was so desirous of this one for this cast.

Just so I could share this moment right now with them.

I've never been more proud of a group of people in my life!

This is the hardest-working group of people

who answered a call for a kind of buy-in, immersive, total experience.

And it's been challenging and difficult and rewarding in ways

that I couldn't possibly fathom.

But I look at your faces and every second of it,

I wouldn't change one thing.

Does anybody else want to say anything?

Oh, my God. We're so grateful for this.

And to fellow nominees, the work is so exceptional.

The work is so exceptional that this is really humbling and really exciting.

Thank you very, very much.

Coming up, our celebration continues,

as Woody Harrelson presents Hollywood icon Harrison Ford

with the Life Achievement Award.

And we find out who will win Outstanding Male Actor in a Supporting Role.

Plus, Timothée Chalamet and the cast of Marty Supreme

at the 32nd Annual Actor Awards presented by SAG-AFTRA.

- How would you diagnose? - Spiral CT.

VQ scan, provide O2.

- Start two large bore ivy saline. - Infiltrate the skin

- and reach the subcutaneous-- - You speak English?

Medical dialog is no easier for me today

than it was 22 years ago.

It's a uterus... didelphys!

Sounds like a Harry Potter spell.

The days I got medical jargon, my anxiety would shoot through the roof,

'cause I knew it'd be a long day.

I need you to DC the staples on the gastroplasty in post-op.

I have no idea what you just said.

Start the senator on IV immunoglobulin, stat.

- Give me 4 units of O-negative, stat! - Stat!

- Stat! - Stat!

She has bradycardia with hypovolemic shock.

Connect intubation tray on my count. One!

- Two. - Three!

Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go

I wanna be sedated

I was having trouble with the word anastomosis.

Our medical tech, Linda Klein said, "Honey, just think Nasty Moses."

Never had a problem with anastomosis since.

The first person to complete perfect anastomosis gets to do it in the OR.

For some reason, I couldn't get surgical consult.

I made up a song.

Did somebody order a surgical console?

Anyone call a surgical consult?

- She's having myoclonic tetanus. - She has immediate postprandial

upper abdominal distinction.

- Sorry? - Grasping Duodenum distal...

- Multiple SSRIs, even-- - Intra operative beta blockade.

- Trabeculae invading-- - Necrotizing fasciitis.

- What? - What about doing lumbar puncture?

- If I do cisterna magna tap, we-- - Take a look at the haptaglobin.

Stop hiding behind the damn medical crap.

Post op-from Mercy Gen after an aortobifemoral bypass.

Reduce sedation, if he's alert, check extubation parameters.

Good. Get it going.

He's had ulcerative colitis for 10 years.

If you can't speak the language, it doesn't feel believable.

In real life, I could do nothing medically.

If you believe I could be competent as a doctor, then that makes me an actor.

When I move, you move.

Get out of my way!

Mmm, I mean, it just...

It doesn't seem that hard. I've never played a doctor,

but I feel like I could do it, you know?

Do you think it's that easy?

Well, I mean, kind of.

I just happen to have a monolog that Scott wrote for next week's episode.

Perhaps you'd like to give it a go.

- That's a weird thing to have. - Um...

I'll time you.

Yeah, I mean, of course.

And... You're gonna time me--

Doctor acting is all about timing. Shall we go?

- Okay. Yeah. - Say, 20 seconds?

Sure. And this is real, I promise I've never seen this

because this is a crazy bit someone decided to do.

- Go! - Go!

He's probably anticoagulated for A-fib.

Check his medical records, see if he's on DOAC.

Stand by with four-factor PCC if there's brain bleed, intubated

for an agonal respiration CGC5 probably and go...

Two sets of blood cultures, lactic acid, 30 cc's per Kl and CS

gram of Nexa-Frelich saline and a 50 gram of Alkazor.

- Time. - Repeat lactic acid in three hours.

Yeah!

- I did it. - Yeah, that was really good.

That was really good. Thank you.

- Pleasure. - Thank you.

It was scary. I think I might be having

a myocardial infraction.

What is that?

Oh, my God.

Okay. Here to present our next award, the one and only Allison Janney.

Hello.

Thank you.

I just want to do something.

I wanted to go through some of the reactions I had

while watching the male actors and their supporting role nominations

in their movies that they did this year.

Okay.

"What the hell is wrong with this guy?"

"Holy crap, this guy is insane."

"Well, this guy's a kook."

And, of course, "Run, Benicio, run!"

I'll let you decide which is which.

Here are the nominees.

Miles Caton, Sinners.

Being with y'all today...

Smoke, I feel like I'm flying.

Well, today settled it. I'm heading off on my own.

Benicio Del Toro, One Battle After Another.

What did you toss out of the vehicle there?

Trash.

You sure about that?

- Yes, ma'am. - You've been drinking today?

I've had a few.

A few what?

A few small beers.

Jacob Elordi, Frankenstein.

What rage!

It is all nothing.

The tide that brought me here now comes to take you away.

Paul Mescal, Hamnet.

Again.

But yet I could accuse me of such things--

Again!

I am myself indifferent, honest, yet I could accuse me--

You are simply mouthing the words!

Sean Penn, One Battle After Another.

Do you think you're my daughter?

Did you love her?

Answer me!

And the actor goes to...

Sean Penn, One Battle After Another.

Sean couldn't be with us tonight to accept this award

so I will accept it on his behalf.

Cheers.

And now Timothee Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'Zion and Tyler Okonma.

A couple of years ago, I auditioned for a secret ping pong movie.

Or shall I say, table tennis?

Written and to be directed by Josh Safdie.

After a few months of anxiety and sweating my ass off,

I was told I got the job and I was officially welcomed

into this fiery ensemble at the heart of Marty Supreme,

where we then experienced even more anxiety.

Every person that was part of this film left their own unique mark.

The cast was populated with a wild, unconventional array of artists

and we all told a bold, kinetic, and heartfelt coming of age story

that captures the chaos and beauty of being young and broke and dreaming big.

I had a very exciting time filming this.

It was my first role, and... thank you.

And for the first time time in history, a black man was comfortable

around all these white folks in the 1950s.

Marty Supreme is a story about hunger, identity

and the audacity to dream beyond your circumstance.

Here's Marty Supreme.

- Here's Marty Supreme. - Here's Marty Supreme.

Let me ask you something.

Do you make money at this little table tennis thing?

Not yet.

- Do you have a job? - No.

Everything in my life's falling apart. I'll figure it out.

If you need any help, I could help.

You want to go hustling again?

Put your money where your mouth is.

Marty, what do you want?

I gotta do it completely on my own.

I'll rip that unibrow right off his forehead!

I don't think you understand the stakes here.

- Find that funny? - I get nervous laughter sometimes.

Everybody wants to rule the world

Unacceptable! That's unacceptable!

You have no power here.

Please welcome Woody Harrelson!

Hello. Hello.

Oh, my God.

if you folks just had my view right now.

I'm talking about the brightest stars in the firmament of our beloved industry,

unfortunately, most of whom will be losers before the night's out.

That didn't go quite as... anyway,

you know, this will probably go the same road.

People sometimes complain about actors getting awards.

Isn't the life we've been awarded enough?

But, in truth, 80% of you will get lessons in humility this evening

Yep, okay, that's what I expected.

Teddy, you're enjoying this too much. Okay.

I'm here to celebrate one of the greatest actors of all time

who has made so many classic films and he is among his peers,

truly and deeply beloved.

Leo DiCaprio.

Sorry, Harrison Ford.

Prompter, you got to keep up or I just make these leaps, you know?

Harrison.

Where are you, Harrison, just-- Oh, there you are.

You have more talent in your little finger than I have in my little finger.

Of all the actors in the world, you're one of them.

Everyone in this industry

knows you.

Thanks for warming up a little.

Harrison sent an email a month ago asking if we could talk.

I knew it was important because Harrison never emails.

He only texts.

I have no phone, so I only email.

A friendship impediment, really.

He wanted me to present this award to him.

And I called him a couple of days later and said I would.

He said...

"To be totally forthcoming, I asked Helen Mirren.

She turned me down.

And then I asked Kamala Harris, she couldn't do it."

I said, "Dude, let me just stop you right there. Am I in the top ten?"

He said "I could count you on one hand," which I took to mean three fingers.

I'm happy to take the bronze.

Just happy to make the podium

And although I had... You guys are tough, man.

Fucking write these jokes for you.

Although...

Oh, sorry. Anyway...

Although I had met Harrison before we became friends

when I saw him go into a sushi restaurant

over on San Vicente, followed him in.

He invited me to lunch.

Hi.

I just saw Kate--

Okay, anyway, he invited me to lunch.

We had an incredible conversation

He really is a great storyteller, not just professionally.

At one point, we laughed, and I'm not kidding,

for three minutes straight, and that sealed our friendship,

as laughter does.

His movies have grossed $10 billion.

I consider one of my films a big hit

if 13 people see it on JetBlue.

I wish I was joking there, but anyway.

This man is Han Solo and Indiana Jones.

He establishes authority and instant gravitas

with every line, instinct and glance.

I asked him, "How do you keep all that continuity of thought

going in action, you know, such small bits.

You always seem to be thinking."

He shared his method.

What did I have for breakfast?

Eggs, toast?

You know, that's-- Forget it because-- Okay, never mind.

These people-- okay.

He thinks working more is the antidote to aging.

In the past few years,

he reprised Indiana Jones and Han Solo in separate films,

as well as filming my personal recent favorite, 1923.

Yeah.

That is one memorable cowboy.

Hubby to the great Helen Mirren.

His phenomenal comedic and vulnerable performance in Shrinking

proves that his charm, sly delivery and incredible charisma are timeless.

Whatever he's doing, we know we are in the hands of a master.

This is a life--

Yeah, okay. Yeah.

This is a life achievement award, and he has lived a full one

as an actor and as an activist.

For more than three decades,

he has been a champion of the environment.

He has used his platform as a global star to sound the alarm about climate crisis.

As the longest serving board member of Conservation International,

he's helped protect 13 million square kilometers of land and sea.

He's also a member of the SAG-Aftra Foundation's Actors Council,

which ensures union members have access to support services,

especially during challenging times in the industry.

He is a... Yeah.

He is a decorated pilot who has participated

in search and rescue missions, helped deliver volunteers

and medical supplies in Haiti,

and mentored a generation of young, aspiring aviators.

Harrison is a true Renaissance man.

Iconic actor, distinguished pilot

and a master carpenter who built his own home.

I don't know how to work the coffee machine.

And it's a French press.

You guys are finally getting me.

Thank you.

It's about time.

Anyway, there's an indescribable energy he brings to everything he does.

in every moment he's on screen.

And this is just a glimpse of that gritty, unforgettable magnetism.

Let's take a gander.

I want to show your boys something.

All I want to do is tell the truth.

It was something unfair.

At the heart of the game I love.

You've sacrificed a lot to be here. We all have.

And you got as big a stake as anybody in this fight.

What do we got here? What's the bottom line?

I saw you're getting a fancy award.

Paul's been nominated for a Grouchy.

- Not a word. - Congratulations.

- Maybe I just don't like you. - Me?

Nah.

Big Jack come out to play?

Little Jack really has to get going.

Can't you see we've got work to do here?

We eat when we're not hungry, drink when we're not thirsty,

We buy what we don't need and throw away everything useful.

Why sell a man what he wants? Sell what he doesn't.

Pretend he's got eight legs and two stomachs and money to burn.

It's wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

Samuel, I want you to go to Hochleitner's farm

as fast as you can and stay there. You understand?

Are they gonna kill you?

- I'll be all right. - But you don't have your gun.

Run, Samuel Run!

Real peace is not just the absence of conflict.

It's the presence of justice.

American soldiers and innocent civilians are dead because of it.

I never ordered any--

No, don't even think about playing that game with me.

I will not let you dishonor their memories

by pretending you had nothing to do with it.

I don't give a shit whether you did it or not.

- It's not our way. - But it's my way.

It's made me mad.

Here's hoping you never get mad at me, man.

Get down!

Get off my plane.

So confident.

Well, I'm the captain.

That's my job.

Whoo-hoo!

Bring 'em on. I prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around.

I got him!

Great, kid! Don't get cocky!

Move!

I love you.

I know.

You were a single mother touring with a baby.

When I came along, you were too happy to give it up.

Out of nowhere, some bright young woman finds me attractive.

- Stop it. - And I slipped.

When I came home, there was a man in my house.

I fought with this man.

Those tapes are dangerous.

Someone may get hurt, and I can't let you go.

I didn't kill my wife.

I don't care.

It would take courage to go there.

Go where?

The jungle.

I came here to save you.

And who's gonna come to save you, Junior?

Crash landing!

Step on it!

The GOAT is back!

You're still the best at this.

I know.

I'm not sure this is worth watching.

After all these years, it's still worth watching.

Look what you've done.

You're a good and brave man.

I don't feel very brave.

I look around this room

and I say to myself...

Lucky guy.

I'm the lucky guy.

Listen, I realize there's too much of me

in this tribute to Harrison.

But I'm an actor. What do you expect?

And I have a dual purpose: to honor my friend,

the esteemed living legend, Harrison Ford,

and two, to discourage any other friend of mine

asking me to do this again.

Now, it is with incredible pleasure that I present to you

the recipient of the 2026 SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award.

The timeless American treasure,

the man himself, my dear buddy, Harrison Ford.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thank you, Woody.

For that...

restricted introduction.

Thank you.

I'm really proud to call--

I'm proud to call you my friend and a colleague.

Thank you.

I feel incredibly grateful for this...

kind attention.

But to be clear, I also

am quite humbled.

I'm in a room of actors, many of whom are here

because they've been nominated to receive a prize for their amazing work,

while I'm here to receive a prize for

being alive.

That said, it is a little weird to be getting a lifetime achievement award

at the half point of my career.

It's a little early, isn't it?

I'm still a working actor.

I was not an overnight success.

I struggled for about 15 years, going from acting job

to carpentry and back to acting,

until I finally got a part in a wildly successful film.

None of this happened on my own.

Thank you, George Lucas.

Thank you, Steven Spielberg.

There were two other people...

There were two other people who had a hand in guiding me through hard times.

Fred Roos,

casting director and producer from Francis Ford Coppola.

And my manager for 30 years, Pat McQueeney.

They were both incredibly persistent,

and they supported me at a time when I really needed it.

I would not be here without them.

They're no longer with us.

But it feels important that I think of them now.

I feel them here tonight.

They would be happy for me.

In my third year of college, I was

a little lost.

I was failing at school.

I felt isolated and alone.

And then, I found the company of people

putting on plays, storytellers,

people I once thought were misfits and geeks, turned out to be

my people.

I found a calling,

a life in storytelling

and an identity in pretending to be other people.

The work I do with other actors is one of the...

great joys of my life.

My career is built on their work, as well as the work of writers,

directors, and every single cast member,

every crew member I've ever...

been on the set with.

I've had incredible collaborators

at every step of the way.

And being able to deliver the work we create together

is, to an audience, is an honor and a privilege.

And because of that privilege,

I've come to know myself.

Ours is a tough business to get into.

But in my case, it's been a tough business to get out of.

Thank God.

Because I love what I do.

As actors,

we get to live many lives,

we get to explore ideas

that affirm and elevate our shared experience.

The stories we tell have a unique capacity

to create moments of emotional connection.

They bring us together.

So while we're all at different stages of our lives and careers,

in this room, we all share something fundamental.

We share the privilege of working

in the world of ideas, of empathy, of imagination.

Sometimes we make entertainment,

sometimes we make art,

Sometimes we're lucky to make them both at the same time.

And if we're really fortunate,

we also get to make a living doing it.

Success in this business brings a certain freedom that comes with...

responsibility to support each other,

to lift others up when we can.

To keep the door open for the next kid,

the next lost boy who's looking for a place to belong.

I am indeed a lucky guy.

Lucky to have found my people.

Lucky to have work that challenges me.

Lucky to still be doing it.

But I don't take that for granted.

I want to say thank you,

truly, from the bottom of my heart, to my peers.

To my extraordinary, beautiful wife, Calista

and my family...

...who have given me love and courage through all of it.

And thank you to SAG-AFTRA for honoring me with this prize.

This is very encouraging.

Next, the Actor Award for Female Actor in a Supporting Role,

and you don't want to miss a soul-stirring performance

by Sinners star Miles Caton.

All coming up as the 32nd annual Actor Awards continues.

Please welcome the star of Encino Man

and president of SAG-AFTRA, Sean Astin.

Thank you, Kristen.

You're doing great.

We're lucky to have you.

I am honestly so inspired by everyone here tonight.

Woohoo!

Yeah,

Bradley.

It's all right.

All right.

Understanding that our program is being streamed live around the world,

I want to take a moment to acknowledge what's happening in the news,

and on behalf of our community, offer a sincere prayer for peace.

So it is an honor to be standing on this stage, in this role.

So I think I should say, my name is Sean Astin,

and I'm an actor, and I am the President of SAG-AFTRA.

How about a wave to our SAG-AFTRA Members joining from watch parties

across all 25 of our locals.

Important to remember that we are a national union.

Yeah!

Special mentions to my father, John Astin, 95 years old.

He originated the role of Gomez Addams in The Addams Family.

To my late mother, Academy Award winner

and former president of our union, Patty Duke,

To my brother Mackenzie who has an early call time tomorrow

shooting a show in Atlanta,

and to my daughter, Ali. Hi, Ali.

We currently have a movie out this weekend in actual theaters,

So that is, count them, five members of the union in our family.

And if you wanna know what it's like,

you can ask my patient, beautiful wife of 35 years Christine,

I should... I should also note that in our family

we have two full-time, self-taped readers for auditions.

Our daughters, Elizabeth and Isabella,

they do story and character notes, they give feedback,

they set up all the equipment.

Awesome free labor.

To the entertainment companies here tonight,

including some senior executives, thank you very much for coming.

And Ted...

Where's Ted?

Ted?

Thank you very much.

Thank you and Netflix for helping with this show

to celebrate our union,

and our members who shine so brightly every year.

I want to acknowledge and give thanks to the WGA,

the DGA, the AFM,

for what you see here on this show tonight.

And we're also grateful, of course, to IATSE, the Teamsters, and Basic Crafts.

Our labor solidarity carried us through a very hard time.

We are back in negotiations with the AMPTP.

Everyone is working very hard

to achieve a solid deal that we can all be proud of.

As chair of our negotiating committee, I have to say

that the support shown in this room and across the industry

means everything.

What we are doing is giving our members a fighting chance

to provide for themselves and for their families

and allow us all to work in an environment that respects our dignity,

and lives and health of our colleagues.

And finally, to you actor award nominees,

this is your night.

So on behalf of 160,000 of your members,

congratulations on your careers

and on the extraordinary performances you gave this year.

What you do inspires the world.

Please welcome Orlando Bloom.

Good evening, everybody.

Whether they're stealing your hearts,

stealing the scene, or terrorizing a suburb

in a wig and track suit...

these performers defined what it means to be a supporting actor.

Here are the nominees for outstanding performance

by a female actor in a supporting role.

Odessa A'zion, Marty Supreme.

- Don't touch me! - You're gonna wake my parents.

Enough about your fucking parents! Aren't you, like, 30 years old?

You realize, I'm due in four weeks.

I am due in four weeks!

And it's his baby, by the way. It's his fucking baby.

- Not my baby. - Yeah, he's lying about that, too.

Amy Madigan, Weapons.

I want you to promise that you will not tell a living soul that I am here.

Or that your parents are resting like they are.

Do you hear me, Alex?

Wunmi Mosaku, Sinners.

How you know I ain't pray,

and work every root my grandmama taught me

to keep you and that crazy brother of yours safe,

every day since you been gone?

Teyana Taylor, One Battle After Another.

You want your power over me

for the same reason you want your power over the world.

You... and your crumbling hell ego

will never do this revolution like me.

Ariana Grande, Wicked: For Good.

Use her sister.

Spread a rumor... that her sister's in trouble.

She'll fly to her side, and you'll have her.

And the award goes to...

Amy Madigan!

Woohoo-hoo-hoo!

Wow.

It's such an honor to be here. I've been doing this a long-ass time.

And I have never been nominated...

...by the SAG committee and by the Guild.

I am a proud member,

and I keep getting asked tonight,

"What is it about this night?"

I say it's because actors love other actors!

They just love being with them!

We want to be working with them, we want to look up at them and just go,

"Man, these guys are just so good!"

So, I just want to thank everybody, um...

I'm a Union person. I come from Chicago, and every--

Everybody in my family, all my friends, relatives, whatever,

were all Union people.

I don't care what somebody says, they're not going to bust us. Ever.

But, um, Gladys is... has surprised me.

She's getting a lot of love back.

I didn't know y'all wanted to hang out with her. So...

Anyway, but, you know what I...

This is about the actors, and I'm so happy for this,

because I want to give a shout out to the ensemble...

which is the beautiful Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, Alden Ehrenreich,

Austin Abrams, little Cary Christopher.

You know, Benedict Wong, Toby Huss,

I mean, all of the little kids who ran around with us and stunned people.

I did terrorize them, but I let them rip me apart, so it's okay.

Uh, it truly is the ensemble,

and I want to thank, of course, Zach Cregger

for this great honor.

I wasn't expecting this,

but it does really mean a lot to me from my peers.

We had a lot of casting changes

'cause of COVID and strikes and this and that,

and I want to give a shout-out to Allison Jones

who assembled all of us.

Let's see, what does he have here? Okay.

Anyway, sorry. I digressed!

It's like when you were little and you had Barbie and Ken,

and you ripped down his drawers and went, "Ken has nothing!"

I never quite understood that.

Anyway, I really am digressing. I apologize.

As you can tell, I'm nervous and I'm just... overwhelmed

and so happy. Thank you, everybody, so much.

Please welcome Sarah Paulson.

Actors make up a family of sorts,

bonded by a challenging pursuit,

by valuing our creative spirit,

and often brought close by our mutual support and affection.

I am proud to be in the family of actors in this room and all over the world.

It is a tremendous privilege to work

and to share such rich times with so many gifted people.

This year, we have lost some true giants.

Our teachers, our coworkers, our inspirations, and our friends.

All of us have been lifted by them.

We are happier, wiser,

made just a bit more expansive by their shared spirit.

And we must remember how lucky we are to have been changed by them.

And we have been.

If we can solve any problem

What you and I have may never be simple...

...but that doesn't mean we're not gonna be scorching.

Then why do we lose so many tears?

Don't waste one single minute.

I sometimes can't find the words for what I feel.

I'm gonna hold on to this moment.

Good bye, boy, Charles, good luck to you.

Oh, so you go again

When the leading man appears

So much else out there.

So many opportunities for you.

Maybe that's your power. Seeing, knowing.

Can't you see

We've got everything going on and on and on

Every time you go away

Treasure these moments.

You take a piece of me with you

I guess it's the first time I ever heard you say that.

Every time you go away

You take a piece of me with you

We come far, you and me.

It goes fast. Don't waste it.

I've been looking all my life for the right guy.

Of course, I had a great time with the wrong ones while I was looking.

I only came here to do two things, man.

Kick some ass and drink some beer.

I can't go on

Saying the same thing

'Cause can't you see?

We've got everything, baby

Even though you know

Every time you go away

You take a piece of me with you

So hire me and you'll see who you truly are.

You take a piece of me with you

Are you gonna bark all day, little doggy?

Or are you gonna bite?

We have talked about this before.

I do not lend men money. It makes them weak.

You wanna know what I love?

Beer, Norm?

Yeah. I'll have a quick one.

A person shouldn't insult another person no matter who he is.

You should know that, fool.

Now, all my life, it's been "Sanford and Son..."

...and as far as I'm concerned, that's the way it's gonna always be.

Being part of this family

means being here for this family.

I'm very, very proud to have known you.

Let him be guided of the creative power of life.

We have to look our best if we're gonna be on camera.

One of the purposes of friends is to help each other.

Doesn't it make life more interesting?

Because we're different?

Every person knows that your party is not over.

So, come on, brother, what do you say?

Now, the only healthy way to live, as I see it,

is to learn to like all the little everyday things.

Resolve the fight for yourselves!

For others. For those you love.

You can be my wingman anytime.

When it all comes together and you make a good movie...

...it's good forever.

You know, I look back, and I've had such...

...such love.

Things sure turned out different. I could have been better.

And then when I walked down the street,

people would have looked and they would have said,

"There goes the best there ever was in this game."

This little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine

This little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine

This little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

- All around the world - All around the world

- Thank you, Lord - I'm gonna let it shine

- All around the world - All around the world

- I'm gonna let it shine - I'm gonna let it shine

- All around the world - All around the world

- I'm gonna let it shine - I'm gonna let it shine

- Let it shine, let it shine - Let it shine, let it shine

- Let it shine - Let it shine

This little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine

Mmm, oh

All right, now. Okay.

Come on, now.

This little light of mine

Little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine

- Let it shine - Let it shine

Everywhere I go

Everywhere I go

Everywhere I go

Gonna let it shine

Let it shine

Shine

Everywhere I go

I'm gonna let it shine

I can't play him.

Why? What's the problem?

- I'm going to get too emotional. - Oh, come on.

- Have you seen Hamnet? - I--

Okay, I saw it months ago. I stopped crying, like, this morning.

Okay, listen, I'm all for feeling your feelings

but you gotta get your head straight. Get in there. Come on!

- Okay. - You ready to play now?

Come on.

You got this.

...about that.

That was expected, I guess.

Well this one, like the game of life, goes to the youth.

And you can collect your trophy after the show, okay?

Thanks, Krinsten.

He gets me.

Okay, we are in the final stretch, and here to present the award

for female actor in a leading role, Andy Garcia.

Thank you.

It's a privilege to be here this evening with all of you.

All the five nominees for outstanding performances

by a female actor in a leading role

put us through great tragedy, heartbreak,

soul-crushing anguish, and even head-shaving.

All in a day's work.

Congratulations on your phenomenal performances.

And the nominees are...

Jessie Buckley, Hamnet.

Look at me.

Look at me.

Rose Byrne, If I Had Legs I'd Kick You.

Whoa.

- What the fuck's your problem? - What? Whoa.

What, are you obsessed with me or something?

What are you talking about? Don't flatter yourself.

Why are you looking at me? What? What do you want?

You just sitting outside and by yourself.

- Some creep might walk past or something. - What creep?

Kate Hudson, Song Sung Blue.

Sweet dreams of you

Chase Infiniti, One Battle After Another.

I don't wanna be your babysitter.

I don't wanna worry if you wrapped your car around a telephone pole.

- Well, I didn't wrap my-- - I didn't ask for this.

That's just how the cards were rolled out for me.

Emma Stone, Bugonia.

We paid your family a proper reparation,

but now I see it wasn't nearly enough.

- Stop. - Not by half-- not by a fraction.

- Stop! - Teddy, you're right to distrust me.

You are. I lost myself somewhere, okay?

And the Actor goes to...

Jessie Buckley.

Wow!

I want to take a minute to see all these incredible,

inspiring faces and souls in front of me.

I have been categorically changed by so many people

in this room and beyond.

To get to work with my heart in my hand

and stand beside by brilliant, daring friends

who show me their heart.

I mean, what a way to spend a life.

Thank you.

Um...

I'd like to, um--

You.

I'd like to say a special

thank you to my incredible friend and date tonight, Emily Watson.

Breaking the waves made me whisper to myself,

"That's what I want to do."

And to share those things with you in Hamnet,

I will cherish that for the rest of my life.

Your wild imagination,

your brave, untethered womanhood,

your ferocious gentleness is a guiding light to me.

And the best advice that you always give to me

is to always go back to the well of just being human.

Ground zero, babe.

You're the realest of the real.

I love and cherish being part of this community.

I hope that I can...

I hope that I can continue to offer something meaningful back.

Thank you very much. This is such a privilege.

Please welcome Viola Davis.

I am here to present the award for

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role.

And what a batch of roles it was.

Each of these characters shared a similar untempered drive.

They plowed ahead, wildly ambitious,

stubbornly refusing to heed advice or hear warnings,

which I find to be so quintessentially male.

Because there is nothing more masculine than refusing to listen.

These men could not be deterred,

and the actors delivering these incredible performances could not be denied.

Here are the nominees.

Timothée Chalamet, Marty Supreme.

I have tremendous respect for your money.

I know it's hard to believe, but I'm telling you,

this game fills stadiums overseas.

Only a matter of time before it fills stadiums in the United States, too.

Before I'm staring at you from the cover of a Wheaties box.

Ethan Hawke, Blue Moon.

Oh, Elizabeth...

Tell me truthfully.

How do you feel about me?

Michael B. Jordan, Sinners.

Only chance we got if we split up.

Who gon' watch the truck while I'm in there talking to the chows?

Let 'em see it's you.

We've been gone a long time, Stack.

Seven years ain't long enough to forget about us.

All right.

Jesse Plemons, Bugonia.

There are no deals. There's no payoff. There's no money.

There is no legal system.

There is no Congress. There is no America.

There is no global democratic order, okay?

Leonardo DiCaprio, One Battle After Another.

I thought the person coming through that door one day

was gonna be your mom, not this fucking asshole.

To see her daughter, you know? She'd teach her girl stuff.

She'd do her hair. She'd...

be a mom.

And the Actor goes to...

You are shining-- Michael B. Jordan!

Oh! Oh, oh, oh!

Oh!

Oh, man.

Uh...

I don't even know where to begin. Um...

I wasn't expecting this at all, and, uh...

And I just want to quickly say that, um,

I'm so honored and privileged to be nominated in categories

with people and actors and humans that I love,

and I love their work and what you contribute to our craft.

And this ride has been unbelievable,

so thank you for welcoming me in and making me feel seen, bro.

Y'all know how I feel about y'all.

Uh...

Uh, I remember-- Yeah, I wanna thank SAG-AFTRA.

I remember as a kid

in this industry,

and you have to earn your vouchers to be a member of SAG.

And I remember... you know, I thought it was this club,

this club that I wanted to be in so bad, but you had to get vouchers

depending on how many lines you had, and an episode or a show

would determine if you got that membership card or not.

And...

And I remember watching all the other actors I looked up to

being a part of that club, part of SAG-AFTRA,

a part of this community,

and I was like, "Man, I want to be that one day."

I remember when I got my SAG-AFTRA card, I was like,

"Man, I'm an entry-level member."

And those guys that were on stage with the awards and the nice suits,

talking, being in fancy places like that,

that's what I always wanted.

And that kid from North New Jersey is standing here right now. Um...

Mom, thank you for driving me back and forth to New York

when we didn't have money to go through the Harlem Tunnel.

When we were looking for gas money, parking spaces.

When I went up there for my auditions. Thank you.

I want to thank Ryan Coogler, um...

for giving me the opportunity to show what I can do

and to be fearless and to create a safe space for us to find the truth.

What you do with all the other actors we had the opportunity to work with.

Wunmi, Miles, Delroy,

Hailee, Jayme, Li Li, Omar.

Everybody that had something to do with this movie,

you guys lent us your talents and your time and your vulnerability.

So, thank you for allowing me do my best work.

And, uh...

Just being in this room right now with all the people who saw me grow up

in front of the camera and these rooms,

and I feel the love and support you've always given me

and encouraged me to go on and do my best.

So, I just wanna say thank you. And, uh...

Yeah, man. This is pretty cool.

Yeah, it's cool. Thank you.

Oh! Hey, Warner Bros. Thank you, guys. Love y'all!

Coming up, it's time for our final award.

Which film will take home the title of

Outstanding Cast in a Motion Picture?

Samuel L. Jackson hands out the biggest actor award of the night,

when the 32nd Annual Actor Awards presented by SAG-AFTRA continues.

Please welcome Samuel L. Jackson.

All right, sauce. Go ahead, Delroy.

Actors have big personalities.

We are artists, embodying and personifying passions

and big emotions is our calling,

which means some of us are combustible by nature!

So when a group of actors are thrown together in a film,

sometimes it works, and...

sometimes it doesn't.

But when it does, hold on to your butts.

The nominees for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture are...

Frankenstein.

Hamnet.

Marty Supreme.

One Battle After Another.

And Sinners.

And the Actor goes to...

Sinners!

Thank you so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Uh...

I am--

I'm supposed to speak on behalf of our cast, and, uh...

there's supposed to be a teleprompter somewhere and I don't see it so...

So I'm just gonna speak.

Uh...

So... first of all,

this project...

is anointed.

This project is anointed, and...

from that standpoint, uh,

we're all anointed to be part of this incredible journey.

Created by the genius

Ryan Coogler.

Zinzi, Sev,

Mike De Luca, Pam Abdy.

I have to do this.

I'm sorry, but I've got to do it. Um...

There's a young lady named Suzanne Fritz who's right there.

Hey, hey.

Suzanne, stand up, stand up.

Because... because Suzanne

has been there from the beginning

giving us faith and belief and never ever, ever,

ever, ever faltering.

Suzanne Fritz.

My extraordinary...

I love y'all, man.

We love you.

Every last one.

This cast, this company. The company

in front of the camera, behind the camera.

Francine Maisler.

Who brought-- every single day,

we brought ourselves, we brought our hearts,

we brought our souls, we brought our spirits

to this endeavor.

And to be recognized by you all,

Thank you does not come anywhere near to encompassing what we feel,

the gratitude.

And they're telling me to wrap up. I'm not gonna wrap up.

Um...

Um...

From the bottom of our hearts,

to the bottom of your hearts,

thank you so much. Thank you so much for everything.

God bless y'all.

It even feels electric to stand next to them, you guys.

Congratulations to the cast and crew of Sinners, everyone!

Whoo!

Um, it's been an amazing night.

Thank you to Miles Caton,

his cousin CJ Cooper, and the DC6 Singers Collective

for that gorgeous performance.

Thank you to Rickey Minor and our band.

And congratulations to Sinners and all the winners tonight,

but especially the biggest smallest winner,

You have won the first ever Kristen Bell's Actor Awards

Sports Championship trophy.

Come on and get it.

You played hard and you deserve it.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

It scares me.

Yeah, it scares me too.

Okay, that's our show, everyone. Good night!
