Los Angeles: The 28th annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards have officially begun with stars arriving at the Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, California, for Sunday’s ceremony.
The SAG awards provide an opportunity for the year’s top performers to be honoured by their peers, the ceremony gathers together stars from across film and television.
The Red carpet saw some of the greatest fashion flaunted by personalities such as Lady Gaga, Helen Mirren, Will Smith and Jessica Chastain, to name a few.
The SAG honours the best performances from the past calendar year, selecting winners across 13 categories. On the film side, “House of Gucci” and “The Power of the Dog” lead this year’s competition with three nominees apiece.
For television, “Succession” and “Ted Lasso” both earned five nominations, while “Mare of Easttown”, “The Morning Show” and “Squid Game” each garnered four, reports variety.com.
The SAG Awards also serve as a key bellwether of the year’s Oscar race, providing an opportunity for both individual performers and productions to gain momentum in acting categories and best picture, respectively.
