Screen Actors' Guild

The Screen Actors' Guild awards do not have a Best Picture category. This is because they focus pretty much entirely on acting.

Their closest equivalent is "Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture."

And guess what won:

Black Panther.

Ya know, the movie all the other awards shows are snubbing in every acting category. True, it didn't win any of the individual actors. (Emily Blunt got Best Actress in a Supporting Role for A Quiet Place).

Black Panther also won a unique award: Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture.

Award shows generally don't acknowledge stuntmen, sadly. (I would love to see this category duplicated in the Oscars so that people who don't follow the industry will be reminded they exist).

Supposedly the after party was quite something.

People are now whispering that Black Panther might take the Oscar after all. I doubt it, but...

  1. When people feel ownership it will be more meaningful and real. I`m not suggesting abdication or total delegation, but a collaborative process. فوز العتيبي
