2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards: ‘CODA,’ ‘Squid Game’ are the top winners

February 27, 2022

by Carla Hay

Apple TV+’s comedy/drama film “CODA” was the big movie winner at the 28th annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, which were presented on February 27, 2022, at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California. TNT and TBS and the U.S. telecast of the ceremony. In the television categories, Netflix’s South Korean drama series “Squid Game” won the most prizes (three), while Apple TV+’s comedy series “Ted Lasso” won two SAG Awards.

“CODA” is about a Massachusetts teenage girl whose older brother and parents are deaf. She’s an aspiring singer who must decide if she will go to Berklee College of Music after graduating from high school, or if she will stay in her hometown to continue working in her family’s fishing business. The movie received the SAG Awards for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, while Troy Kotsur won the prize for Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role. Kotsur is the first deaf actor to win an individual SAG Award, while “CODA” is the first movie with deaf actors to win the prize for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. (Three of “CODA’s” six winning cast members are deaf.)

“Squid Game” is about a deadly game where the contestants were chosen based on sins they’ve committed. The show’s three SAG Awards in 2022 were Lee Jung-Jae for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series; Jung Ho Yeon for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series; and Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Television Series. “Squid Game” is the first TV series from an Asian country and the first non-English-language TV series to win SAG Awards in the TV categories.

“Ted Lasso,” which is about an American soccer coach in England, won two SAG Awards in 2022: Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series, while “Ted Lasso” star Jason Sudeikis took the prize for Outstanding Performance by a Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.

Helen Mirren received the Life Achievement Award, a non-competitive prize whose annual recipient is announced several weeks before the SAG Awards ceremony takes place.

Presenters at the show included Benedict Cumberbatch, Jessica Chastain, Jung Ho-Yeon, Martin Short, Oscar Isaac, Salma Hayek Pinault, Selena Gomez, Kerry Washington, Tony Goldwyn, Reese Witherspoon, SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher, Hailee Steinfeld, Jeff Goldblum, Jesse PlemonsMaggie Gyllenhaal, Lisa Kudrow, Mira Sorvino, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill. Aunjanue Ellis, Caitríona Balfe, Cate Blanchett, Ciarán Hinds, Daniel Durant, Daveed Diggs, Demi Singleton, Emilia Jones, Jamie Dornan, Jared Leto, Jude Hill, Kate Winslet, Lady Gaga, Meryl Streep, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Leslie Odom Jr., Marlee Matlin, Rosario Dawson, Saniyya Sidney, “CODA” SAG Awards double-winner Kotsur, Tyler Perry, Vanessa Hudgens, Will Smith and SAG Award Ambassadors Alexandra Daddario and Ross Butler.

According to a SAG Awards press release: “Nominees chosen by their respective SAG Awards film and television nominating committees were announced on January 12, 2022. The two nominating panels—one for television and one for motion picture—were each composed of 2,500 randomly selected SAG-AFTRA members from across the United States. Final voting opened to 124,000 SAG-AFTRA members in good standing on January 19, 2022, and balloting closed at noon on February 25, 2022. Integrity Voting Systems, the Awards’ official election firm, sealed the results until they were announced live during the 28th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.” The 2022 SAG Awards eligibility period was March 1 to December 31, 2021.

2021 Gotham Awards: ‘The Lost Daughter’ is the top winner

With four prizes, including Best Feature, the Netflix drama film “The Lost Daughter” was the top winner for the 31st annual Gotham Awards (formerly known as the IFP Gotham Awards), which were presented November 29, 2021, at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City. The Gotham Awards are produced by the Gotham Film & Media Institute, formerly known as the Independent Filmmaker Project. As of 2020, the Gotham Awards added categories for television programs.

“The Lost Daughter” won the Gotham Awards for Best Feature, Bingham Ray Breathrough DIrector Award (for Maggie Gyllenhaal); Best Screenplay (for Gyllenhaal); and Best Leading Performance (for Oliva Colman), an award that was also given in a tie to Frankie Faison of “The Killing of Kenneth Chamberlain.”

Other multiple winners included the Apple TV+ comedy/drama film “CODA,” which won two Gotham Awards: Outstanding Supporting Performance (for Troy Kotsur) and Breakthrough Performance (for Emilia Jones).

In the TV categories, the winners were Netflix’s “Squid Game” (Outstanding Series – Long Form); FX’s “Reservations Dogs,” (Outstanding Series – Short Form); and Topic/PBS’s “Philly D.A.” (Breakthrough Nonfiction Series). There was a two-way tie in the category of Outstanding Performance in a New Series: Ethan Hawke of Showtime’s “The Good Lord Bird” and Thuso Mbedu for Amazon Prime Video’s “The Underground Railroad.”

For the first time, the Gotham Awards eliminated gender-based prizes for performances. These gender-neutral categories for performances have been expanded to have up to 10 nominations per category, instead of five nominations for actor categories and five nominations for actress categories.

These are the new Gotham Awards categories for movies: Outstanding Lead Performance, Outstanding Supporting Performance and Breakthrough Performer. In addition, there are two new Gotham Awards categories for TV: Outstanding Performance in a New Series and Breakthrough Nonfiction Series.

In non-competitive award categories, the honorees are announced in advance. They are Kristen Stewart (Performer Tribute); Eamonn Bowles (Industry Tribute); the cast of “The Harder They Fall” (Ensemble Tribute); and Jane Campion (Director’s Tribute).
