The 29th edition of the SAG Awards was held on Sunday, February 26, 2029. The location for the ceremony was the famed Fairmont Century Plaza in Century City, California.
Viewers were able to watch SAG Awards 2023 live on Netflix’s YouTube channel, after TNT and TBS channels were pulled from the broadcasting partnership last year in May.
The success rate of the comedy-drama film Everything Everywhere All at Once was 80% at this year’s ceremony, having turned five nominations into four wins.
Brendan Fraser won Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role for The Whale, as did Michelle Yeoh for Everything Everywhere All at Once in the best female actor section.

Fraser beat the likes of Austin Butler (Elvis), Colin Farrell (The Banshees of Inisherin), Bill Nighy (Living), and Adam Sandler (Hustle) to grab his naked man.
Meanwhile, apart from Yeoh, the SAG Awards 2023 nominations for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role category were Cate Blanchett (Tár), Viola Davis (The Woman King), Ana de Armas (Blonde), and Danielle Deadwyler (Till).
