The 21st annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were held last night, providing plenty of surprises for television and movie fans. Perhaps the most surprising aspect of the show was just how quickly it wrapped up, finishing in under two hours.
Granted, the ceremony only honors actors, but it was noticeably quicker than any other awards show. SAG-AFTRA doesn’t hire a host and only had special segments for each Outstanding Cast in a Motion Picture nominee and an “In Memoriam” segment, presented by Liev Schreiber.
There was also a hilarious tribute to Hollywood icon Debbie Reynolds, who was presented with the guild’s lifetime achievement award by her daughter, Carrie Fisher.
On the movie side, the awards were spread out, but on the TV side, Orange is the New Black took home two awards. It was the only show or movie to win more than one award.
