Screen Actors Guild Awards
Melissa McCarthy was fangirling over Billie Eilish at the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards.
While presenting the award for outstanding performance by a female actor in a comedy series to Ayo Edebiri (The Bear), the Little Mermaid actress, 53, hilariously asked the pop star, 22, to sign her face with a permanent marker.
Prior to the autographing, McCarthy reminded Eilish that the pair had already met several times prior to the SAG Awards, which streamed live on Netflix from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on Saturday (Feb. 24).
“I actually met you in utero because your mom was my first improv teacher,” McCarthy said excitedly, referring to Maggie Baird. “Guess who she was pregnant with? It was you!”
“Wow, OK,” Eilish responded. “That’s a lot.”

McCarthy then asked the “Bad Guy” singer if she would sign her shiny colored gown. “I’m just trying to be more present in making memories and I’m trying for more YOLO-ing and less FOMO-ing,” McCarthy said.
When Eilish politely declined, the actress made an even more bizarre request: to sign her face instead. The singer agreed and proceeded to scribble her signature on McCarthy’s forehead with a black Sharpie.
As the actress attempted to ask more questions about her brother Finneas’ songwriting process, Eilish covered her mouth and attempted to contain her laughter.
“So, when you and Finneas are putting down sick tracks or hot, hot beats…,” McCarthy’s began to ask. “I think that’s better,” the singer replied while holding her hand over McCarthy’s mouth.
The big winners at the SAG Awards included Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) and Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon), who took home outstanding performance by a male and female actor in a leading role, respectively. Both won in what were seen as close races with Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers) and Emma Stone (Poor Things), respectively.

Barbra Streisand accepted the Life Achievement Award at the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards on Saturday (Feb. 24) with a warm and personal speech in which she talked about her 70-year love affair with movies – a passion which began as a way to escape a drab upbringing in Brooklyn.
The award was a highlight of the 30th annual SAG Awards, which were presented at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles – where, presenter Jennifer Aniston told us, Streisand performed her first major concert in 1963. Unmentioned was the fact that Streisand won three Grammy Awards at the Shrine in the 1970s and 1980s. Bradley Cooper also helped present the award.
“I remember dreaming of being an actress as a teenager sitting in my bed in Brooklyn with a pint of coffee ice cream and a movie magazine,” Streisand said. “Sometimes after school, I’d go to the Astor Theater next door to Erasmus High School where they showed foreign films in black-and-white.

“And then one Saturday, I vividly remember going to the Loew’s theater and buying a 25-cent ticket and walking into the middle of Guys and Dolls and oh my God – everything was so beautiful up on that screen – the colors, the sets, unlike our apartment where my mother covered everything with plastic. And then I saw the most beautiful actor, Marlon Brando. It was my first crush. He was so real, so believable and I wanted to be the one he fell in love with, not Jean Simmons. That make-believe world was much more pleasant than anything I was experiencing.”
Streisand was 13 when Guys and Dolls premiered in November 1955 and had such a powerful effect on her dreams and imagination. There was just one problem, as Streisand explained in her speech.
“I wanted to be in the movies even though I knew I didn’t look like the other women on screen. My mother said you better learn to type, but I didn’t listen, and somehow, some way – thank God, it all came true.”
Indeed, many have credited Streisand with expanding the idea of what a movie star could look like.
Streisand gave much credit to William Wyler, who directed her first film, Funny Girl, and Harry Stradling, who was Wyler’s cinematographer. Wyler was 65 when Funny Girl was filmed in 1967. Stradling was 66. They were at an age, and in an era, where many men in their positions would have resented a 25-year-old newcomer to film who was brimming with ideas. But, according to Streisand, they were open to her input in a way that she appreciates now more than ever.
“These two men were extraordinary,” she said. “They had no problem with a young woman who had opinions. I could suggest ideas for a scene to Willi and try various lighting effects with Harry and they never ever put me down. Looking back, they were really ahead of their time and that was fantastic and it set the tone for my whole career.”
Streisand also spoke about how acting, and researching roles and preparing for films, has been her education.
“I never went to college,” she said. “I always thought acting was my education. In trying to understand the character, to have to do research, immerse yourself in the period. The whole process was fascinating to me. How do you tell the story? How does the camera serve the actors in telling that story?”
Streisand understands the appeal of movies: “For a couple of hours, people can sit in a theater and escape their own troubles.”
She also is a student of film history. “I can’t help but think back to the people who built this industry. Ironically, they were also escaping their own troubles.”
She mentioned Samuel Goldwyn, Louis B. Mayer and the Warner Brothers, all of whom had changed their names to be less ethnic-sounding. “They were all fleeing the prejudice they faced in Eastern Europe simply because of their religion. And they were dreamers too, like all of us here tonight. And now I dream of a world where such prejudice is thing of the past.” The last line, amid a troubling rise in antisemitic rhetoric, drew sustained applause.
Near the end of her speech, Streisand spoke of a 2022 French film she had recently seen, Une Belle Course (Driving Madeleine), which moved her deeply. The film stars an actress in her 90s, Line Renaud (“so there’s still hope for us girls,” she said). “It was so moving and insightful,” she said. “…It reminded me over again of how much I love film.”
Streisand has said that she became a singer because she couldn’t get a job as an actress. For all the success she has had as a singer, acting seems to be her first love. “It’s really a privilege to be part of this profession,” she said at one point.
She concluded her remarks by noting: “I’d like to thank SAG-AFTRA for this fabulous honor and say to my fellow actors and directors, I’ve loved working with you and inhabiting that magical world of the movies with you. And most of all, I want to thank you for giving me so much joy – just watching all of you on the screen. Thank you for that.”
A film package preceded Streisand’s arrival on stage that showed many of her top film moments – as well as a memorable surprise cameo in a “Coffee Talk” sketch on Saturday Night Live in 1992. The highlight reel included many great musical moments, such as “Don’t Rain on My Parade” from Funny Girl, “The Way We Were” from that film and “Evergreen” from the 1976 version of A Star Is Born.
Cooper, who directed the 2018 remake of A Star Is Born, was generous to help introduce Streisand. In 2021, Streisand threw some shade at his remake, saying it was too close to the rock’n’roll update in which she starred to be considered a fresh and original take on the perennial property.
A fair number of Streisand’s co-stars and colleagues had previously received the SAG Life Achievement Award, which underscores how far and wide her reach extends. Walter Pidgeon, who played Flo Ziegfeld in Funny Girl, was honored in 1975. Gene Kelly, the legendary song-and-dance man who directed her second film, Hello, Dolly!, was feted in 1989. Robert Redford, her co-star in the classic romantic drama The Way We Were, was honored in 1996. Robert DeNiro, her co-star in the best-forgotten Meet the Fockers and Little Fockers, received the salute in 2020.
This year’s SAG Awards streamed live on Netflix starting at 8 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT. Here’s a complete list of winners.
Oppenheimer and Barbie are duking it out once more at the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards, where both megahits have four nominations, more than any other film. The 30th annual SAG Awards is streaming live on Netflix on Saturday (Feb. 24) at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT from the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles.

Succession is this year’s top TV nominee. The HBO series is nominated for five awards – best drama ensemble plus individual acting nods to its stars Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin, Matthew Macfadyen and Sarah Snook.
The nominees for best film ensemble – the closest thing at the SAG Awards to the Oscar for best picture – are American Fiction, Barbie, The Color Purple, Killers of the Flower Moon and Oppenheimer.
The awards are voted on by SAG-AFTRA’s membership of 119,515 eligible voters, the largest voting body on the awards circuit. Final voting opened on Wednesday, Jan. 17, and closed at noon PT on Friday, Feb. 23. So, votes were still coming in less than 30 hours before the first awards were presented. There is a much longer lag time between the close of voting and the announcement of the winners at other award shows.
The 30th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards is executive produced by Jon Brockett and Silent House Productions. This marks the show’s live debut on Netflix. Last year’s ceremony was broadcast on Netflix’s YouTube page.

When Barbra Streisand accepts the Life Achievement Award at the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards on Saturday (Feb. 24), she’ll become the 61st recipient of that career-capping honor. She’ll also join a smaller subset of SAG Life Achievement Award winners who have landed hits on the Billboard Hot 100. That group includes Frank Sinatra, one […]
For the third year in a row, Selena Gomez was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series for her role in Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, but passed over for a nod for outstanding performance by a female actor in a comedy series.
Two other artists who, like Gomez, have topped the Billboard Hot 100, are nominated for 2024 SAG Awards – Bradley Cooper for his performance as conductor Leonard Bernstein in Maestro, and Fantasia Barrino as part of the ensemble of The Color Purple.
Succession is this year’s top nominee. The HBO series is nominated for five awards – best drama ensemble plus individual acting nods to its stars Kieran Culkin, Jeremy Strong, Matthew Macfadyen and Sarah Snook. The Bear, The Last of Us and Ted Lasso were runners-up on the TV side with four nods each.
On the film side, Barbie and Oppenheimer were the top nominees with four nods each, followed by American Fiction and Killers of the Flower Moon with three nods each.
The nominees for best film ensemble – the closest thing at the SAG Awards to the Oscar for best picture – are American Fiction, Barbie, The Color Purple, Killers of the Flower Moon and Oppenheimer.
Comedy and drama performances are combined in the SAG film awards, but are handled separately in their TV awards. Nominees for best TV comedy ensemble are Abbott Elementary (which won last year), Barry, The Bear, Only Murders in the Building and Ted Lasso (which won in 2022).
Nominees for TV drama ensemble are The Crown (which won in 2020-21), The Gilded Age, The Last of Us, The Morning Show and Succession (which won in 2022). These are the first nominations in this category for both The Gilded Age and The Last of Us.
Everything Everywhere All at Once made history at last year’s SAG Awards, becoming the first film to win four awards – best film ensemble plus individual honors for Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis and Ke Huy Quan. This success was repeated at the Oscars two weeks later, where the film won best picture and those three actors also won.
The 30th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, produced by SAG-AFTRA and Silent House Productions, will stream live on Netflix on Saturday, Feb. 24, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT from the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles.

As previously announced, Barbra Streisand will receive the 2024 SAG Lifetime Achievement Award. She is the 59th recipient of the tribute; she follows Sally Field, who received it during the 2023 telecast.

The Mandalorian
Last year, all four of the actors who won Oscars – Will Smith and Jessica Chastain in the lead categories, and Troy Kotsur and Ariana DeBose in the supporting races — had won in those same categories at the Screen Actors Guild Awards one month earlier. Their Oscar coronations were not quite foregone conclusions, but nearly so.
It’s very different this year. Only one of the actors who won at the SAG Awards on Feb. 26 seems certain of also winning an Oscar on Sunday, March 12. That’s Ke Huy Quan for his supporting role in Everything Everywhere All at Once.
Michelle Yeoh, who won the SAG Award for her leading role in that same film, is probably the front-runner to also win the Oscar, but Cate Blanchett can’t be counted out for her acclaimed performance in Tár. Blanchett has already won two Oscars, which may work against her here.
Brendan Fraser, who won at the SAG Awards for his lead performance in The Whale, is a serious contender for the Oscar, but Austin Butler (for Elvis) and Colin Farrell (for The Banshees of Inisherin) could just as easily take it. This one is too close to call.
So is the race for best supporting actress. Jamie Lee Curtis won at the SAG Awards for her supporting turn in Everything Everywhere All at Once, and gave a great, self-deprecating speech, referring to herself a “nepo baby.” (Curtis is the daughter of Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, two of the top Hollywood stars of their era.) She could easily also win the Oscar – in the same category where her mom was nominated (and lost) for her unforgettable performance in Psycho.
But many will want to see the Oscar go to Angela Bassett for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, particularly after two other Black actresses — Viola Davis (for The Woman King) and Danielle Deadwyler (for Till) — were passed over for Oscar nods for best actress. This race, too, is too close to call.
How closely have the SAG Awards winners aligned with the Oscar winners in the four acting categories? Pretty closely, but not well enough for SAG winners to get overly confident.
Since the SAG Awards began in 1995 (honoring films released in 1994), all four SAG winners went on to win Oscars nine times. Three of the four went on to win Oscars 11 times. Let’s pause here: The SAG winners aligned with the Oscar winners in at least three of the four categories 20 times in the past 28 years – an impressive rate of agreement.
That leaves eight years where the agreement was less impressive. Just two of the four SAG winners went on to win Oscars six times. Just one of the four went on to win the Oscar twice. Those two years where the two voting bodies were far apart were 2001 and 2002, where they agreed only on Halle Berry in Monster’s Ball (2001) and Catherine Zeta-Jones in Chicago (2002).
The rate of agreement between the two shows has increased over time. In the SAG Awards’ first 14 years, they agreed on all four winners just twice. In the last 14 years, they have agreed seven times.
Benicio Del Toro (Traffic) and Kate Winslet (The Reader) were winners at both shows, but in different categories. Del Toro won the SAG Award for outstanding performance by a male actor in a leading role, but he went on to win the Oscar for best supporting actor. It worked the other way around for Winslet, who won the SAG Award for outstanding performance by a female actor in a supporting role, but went on to win the Oscar for best actress. (Since they both won at both shows, we counted them as in agreement.)
The SAG Awards have had one tie in a Big Four acting category. In 1997, Kim Basinger (L.A. Confidential) tied for outstanding performance by a female actor in a supporting role with Gloria Stuart (Titanic). Basinger went on to win the Oscar. (Since at least one of the SAG winners went on to win at the Oscars, we counted that as being in agreement too.)
The SAG Awards have presented two of their marquee film acting awards posthumously, to Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight and Chadwick Boseman in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. Only Ledger went on to win the Oscar.
The White Lotus who? According to Haley Lu Richardson, nothing in her career will ever top starring in the Jonas Brothers‘ music video for their new single “Wings.”
“Oh man, I don’t know where to start. It’s the biggest thing of my life,” she told The Hollywood Reporter at the 2023 Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday night. “It’s the biggest role of my career: past, present and future. It was amazing and I cried for three days straight.”
The JoBros superfan also dished from the red carpet about how she got the news that Nick, Kevin and Joe Jonas wanted her to take part in the video. “I was driving down the PCH [Pacific Coast Highway], and I was checking my voicemails, and one was from a number I didn’t have saved,” Richardson explained. “And I played it, and it was like, ‘Hey, Haley, this is Joe Jonas. And me and my brothers just had this idea about this video. So, uh, give me a call back.’”
Admitting she then replayed Joe’s message “like 12 more times” before pulling the car over, playing it “another 20 times” and bursting into tears, The White Lotus star eventually mustered up the wherewithal to call back. “And I just told him I would do anything for him,” she went on. “Literally anything. And then I met them and was in this video.”
Richardson first went public with her love for the Jonases in a December appearance on The Late Late Show With James Corden, during which Nick surprised her via FaceTime and she fell into near-catatonic shock.
Watch Richardson excitedly recount how she ended up in the “Wings” clip above, and watch the music video below.
Sally Field did not have a long career as a Billboard Hot 100 chart hitmaker, but she had one. Her 1967 single “Felicidad” spent four weeks on the chart, peaking at No. 94 in December 1967.
An impossibly perky and wholesome ditty, “Felicidad” makes “Do-Re-Mi” from The Sound of Music sound like “In-a-Godda-Da-Vida.” The song charted less than two weeks after Field turned 21 and two months after the debut of her hit ABC sitcom The Flying Nun. (That flyweight series ran for three years, a testament to Field’s charm and likeability.) “Felicidad” appeared on Field’s album, The Flying Nun, which logged four weeks on the Billboard 200, peaking at No. 172.
Field, of course, has gone on to a far more enduring career as a film and TV actress. That career is being honored on Sunday (Feb. 26) as Field receives the life achievement award from the Screen Actors Guild. Actor Andrew Garfield is scheduled to present the award.
“Felicidad” entered the Hot 100 at No. 100 in the week ending Nov. 18, 1967. Other new entries that week included The Monkees’ “Daydream Believer” (which went on to top the chart for four weeks), Gary Puckett & the Union Gap’s breakthrough hit “Woman, Woman” (which peaked at No. 4) and Johnny Rivers’ “Summer Rain” (with its memorable nod to The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band).
“Felicidad” entered the chart one week after the arrival of Stone Poneys’ “Different Drum,” which was the first Hot 100 hit for Linda Ronstadt. Field and Ronstadt took vastly different routes to the top, but they both got there. They were in the same class of Kennedy Center Honorees in December 2019.
Dominic Frontiere and Diane Hilderbrand co-wrote “Felicidad.” Jack Keller produced Field’s recording. Keller had composed the irresistible theme song “(Wait Till You See My) Gidget” (performed by Johnny Tillotson) for Field’s first TV series Gidget (1965). Keller co-wrote many Hot 100 hits, including a pair of No. 1 hits in 1960 for Connie Francis, “Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool” and “My Heart Has a Mind of Its Own.”
Field has won three Primetime Emmys (for starring roles in Sybil and Brothers & Sisters and a guest role on ER) and two Oscars (for lead roles in Norma Rae and Places in the Heart). She also received a Tony nomination for The Glass Menagerie (best actress in a play, 2017).
Field gave the best description of her career in 1985 when she won her second Oscar. This will forever be remembered as the “You like me! You really like me!” speech, though Field never uttered that exact line.
“This means so much more to me this time. I don’t know why. I think the first time I hardly felt it because it was all so new. I owe a lot to the cast … to my family … But I want to say thank you to you. I haven’t had an orthodox career and I’ve wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn’t feel it, but this time I feel it. And I can’t deny the fact that you like me. Right now, you like me!”
