The Screen Actors Guild Awards goes big on winner and headliners, including more than the celebs but the hot issue on diversity.
Apart from the big winner "Birdman" and other headliners, diversity has also taken over the Screen Actors Guild Awards. With issues relating to the recently released Oscar nominations and now Benedict Cumberbatch's "coloured actors" slip, it seems that the SAG Awards did a relatively better job.
Highlighting the diversity on the winners of the 2015 SAG Awards, critics applaud outstanding female actor in a TV series winner Viola Davis for her work in "How to Get Away with Murder." Uzo Aduba won supporting female actor for her work in "Orange is the New Black."
In her speech, Davis shared her gratitude towards her "How to Get Away with Murder" family and the creators, "for thinking that a sexualized, messy, mysterious woman could be a 49-year-old dark-skinned African-American woman who looks like me."
Aduba shared in her speech that "to be in a room with all you amazing human beings, amazing talents, for what I respect so much and love so much, is really truly the greatest honor."
"Birdman" won big during the SAG Awards, taking in best performance by a cast. Other winners include Eddie Redmayne for "The Theory of Everything", Patricia Arquette for "Boyhood", J.K. Simmons for "Whiplash," and Julianne Moore for "Still Alice."
Meanwhile, headliners in the recent SAG Awards don't have to be winners from nominations, like Emma Stone and Jennifer Aniston. Both actors have captured audiences as they stepped out on the red carpet, all glammed up.
Nominated for her work in "Birdman," Emma Stone donned a black Dior Couture tuxedo gown with a sheer skirt. "Cake" actress and former "Friend" Jennifer Aniston wowed fans as she stepped out wearing a deep-plunging John Galliano gown, beaded from top to bottom.
