SAG Awards Are More Diverse Than Oscars

Netflix and Amazon dominated the wins at the 22nd annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on Saturday night, and the level of diversity among the TV winners was impossible to miss in light of the outcry over this year’s all-white field of Oscar acting nominees.

Wins for Viola Davis, Queen Latifah, Uzo Aduba and Idris Elba – who took home two awards for Beasts of No Nation and Luther — underscored how television programming has fostered roles for actors that reflect the multiculturalism that is transforming popular culture.

Christian Bale, Steve Carrell, Patricia Arquette, Anna Faris, Jon Hamm and Rachel McAdams were among the Hollywood A-listers on hand to present awards to their peers, while Tina Fey and Amy Poehler teamed up to honor legendary actress Carol Burnett with the Life Achievement Award.
