The winners of the 31st Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG Awards) are being announced in a live telecast streaming on Netflix. Produced by Silent House Productions in partnership with SAG-AFTRA, the 31st SAG Awards are taking place at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall.

As previously announced, the legendary actress and activist Jane Fonda will be honored with the SAG Life Achievement Award for career achievements and humanitarian accomplishments during the 31st Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremony. Julia Louis-Dreyfus will present the award to Fonda.

The stunt ensemble awards were awarded during the red carpet portion of the broadcast.

The broadcast starts out with a Hacks. Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) and her team are brainstorming bits for the SAG Awards, only to later be informed that she wasn’t booked to host the show.

Kristen Bell is hosting the show and appropriately points out the table with the LAFD firefighters. She shortly proceeds to go into a parody of “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” but instead, it’s “Do You Want to Be an Actor” featuring a montage of actors in older performances.

Kieran Culkin, a non-Jewish actor, won a SAG Award for his role as a Jewish character in A Real Pain. This is a film where a pair of cousins are on a tour in Poland to visit Holocaust sites. His speech completely failed to bring up the Holocaust aspect of the film. It should have been one of the first things mentioned in his speech because he doesn’t win the award without it.

The Good Place stars Kristen Bell, Ted Danson, and William Jackson Harper reunite for a bit.

“What we, actors, create is empathy. Our job is to understand another human being so profoundly that we can touch their souls. And make no mistake, empathy is not weak or woke. By the way, woke just means you give a damn about other people…Acting gave me a chance to play angry women with opinions, which, you know, is a bit of a stretch for me.” – Jane Fonda

“We are going to need a big tent to resist successfully what’s coming at us.” – Jane Fonda

Fonda moves into a discussion of McCarthyism and the Committee for the First Amendment. The CFA was founded by screenwriter Philip Dunne, actress Myrna Loy, and film directors John Huston and William Wyler. Fonda says that Hollywood is living in its documentary moment right now.

Timothée Chalamet was not expecting the win at all. He spent five and a half years working on his portrayal. “It was an honor of a lifetime playing him.”
