The winners of the SAG Awards 2016 have been revealed with Idris Elba taking home two accolades, one for his work in "Beast Of No Nation" and another one for his work on "Luther." It was Elba that called out the award show as "diverse tv" when he presented his movie "Beast Of No Nation." He made the referance to that as the majority of the winners at that point had been actors of color like himself, Viola Davis, Uzo Aduba and Queen Latifah.
One of the moments that stood out was when the cast of "Orange Is The New Black" took home the actor for Ensemble In A Comedy Series For Television, Laura Preppon accepted the award and said that the cast was a representation of what diversity looks like. If you are fan of the show, you know the Netflix show has white, African-American and Latino actors. This was a call out to the controversy that came about after the Oscar nominations were announced with only white actors in the major acting categories.
The Screen Actor Guild Awards were tame and nothing too out crazy went on. However, we did like when Tina Fey and Amy Poehler took the stage to present Carol Burnett the Life Achievement Award to recognize her achievements. The duo always makes us laugh and we loved how they said making comedy was more difficult than drama and to stop praising Leo DiCaprio for his work on "The Revenant" as it wasn't as hard as they're making it out to be. Of course, it was all tongue in cheek in praising the admirable Carol Burnett. Check out the complete winners list down below and tell us if you agree with everyone that took home the actor tonight!
