Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston reunite backstage

Although they divorced years ago, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston proved that it is possible to be friends with your exes as they reunited backstage.

Pitt, who was filmed watching proudly backstage as Aniston won for her AppleTV+ project The Morning Show, was later pictured grinning with the star and holding her wrist as she walked away.

Joaquin Phoenix pays tribute to Heath Ledger

A lot of controversy has surrounded Joaquin Phoenix’s role in Joker, however there was no denying his tribute to the late Heath Ledger was touching.

He called Ledger, who won a posthumous Oscar for his own portrayal of the Joker, his “favourite actor” and said, “I'm standing here on the shoulders of my favorite actor, Heath Ledger, so thank you and goodnight.”

Michelle Williams, who was married to Ledger before he passed away, was also honoured with an award for her role in Fosse/Verdon.

The pregnant actress thanked her fiance, Thomas Kail, who she said she shared the award with “like everything else in our life.”

Father and son duo Eugene and Dan Levy crack up the audience

Although they weren’t the official presenters of the evening, Schitt’s Creek stars and real life father and son Eugene and Dan Levy were an instant hit online.

The pair kicked off the show and made fun of SAG’s annual “I am an actor” segment, in which actors speak to the camera about their journey into the industry before ending it with the line “I am an actor.”

After Christina Applegate and Cynthia Erivo gave their short but sweet take on the tradition, it was Eugene’s turn to the delight of viewers everywhere.

Watched over his shoulder by his son Dan, Eugene then gave essentially his entire life story and talked about toilet paper commercial star Mr. Whipple was his dream role - before dipping into different tangents and dragging out his “complex” segment.

At a couple of points, his son Dan interrupted him to speed it up and informed him that he’d “taken three times as long as everybody else and you’re still not finished.”

When Dan pointed out that Eugene had gone so long that Tom Hanks had lost his opportunity, Eugene called Hanks a “good guy” who would “take it well” - before the camera panned to a devastated Tom Hanks.

Their opening monologue which followed was just as fantastic, with Eugene jokingly putting himself on the same pedestal as SAG Lifetime Achievement Award winner Robert DeNiro, and prompted many on social media to clamour for them to host awards shows in the future.

Parasite makes history at the SAG Awards

Parasite, a Korean-language film directed by Bong Joon Ho, is easily one of the most talked about films this awards season.

It made history at the SAG Awards when the film became the first foreign language film ever to win Best Cast In A Motion Picture.

As the award was announced, the cast of Parasite sprung to their feet as they earned one of the biggest cheers from the crowd and a standing ovation.

Director Joon-Ho gave a speech in Korean, which was translated into English for the audience.

He said, “Although the story is called Parasite, I think the story is about co-existence and how we can all live together. But to be honoured with the best ensemble award, it occurs to me that maybe we haven’t created such a bad movie. I am so honoured to receive this award in front of so many amazing actors that I admire, I will never forget this beautiful night.”

Jennifer Aniston uses her winners’ speech to acknowledge snubbed Adam Sandler

Jennifer Aniston was on the verge of tears as she accepted her SAG Award for Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series - her first in 25 years.

Aniston, who won for her role on The Morning Show, thanked her co-star and co-producer Reese Witherspoon which was to be expected, however her Adam Sandler shout out took everyone by surprise.

She shouted out Sandler’s performance in Uncut Gems, which was snubbed by both SAG and the Oscars, and said, “Adam Sandler. Your performance is extraordinary and your magic is real, buddy. I love you.”

In response, he posted a picture of her on Instagram and said, “Congratulations to the great @jenniferaniston for her SAG award and her just being the best.”

Brad Pitt’s hilarious SAG Awards acceptance speech

Pitt, or “lover” as DiCaprio has nicknamed him, won Outstanding Supporting Actor for his performance in Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time In Hollywood and his speech was a definite highlight.

Full of self-deprecating humour, the single actor joked that he had to “add this to my Tinder profile” and made fun of his divorces to Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie - saying that his role as “a guy who gets high, takes off his shirt and doesn’t get on with his wife” was a “stretch.”

However, he threw some magnificent shade at director Quentin Tarantino when he hinted that he may have a foot fetish.

He said, ”I want to thank my co-stars, Leo, Margot Robbie, Margot Robbie's feet, Margaret Qualley's feet, Dakota Fanning's feet. Seriously, Quentin has separated more women from their shoes than the TSA.”

The Marvelous Mrs Maisel cast admit they “voted for Fleabag” despite win

Although Fleabag was expected to win big this year, the SAG Awards saw The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel win over Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s hit comedy series - a victory that even the cast were surprised by.

In their awards speech, star Alex Borstein said, “I voted for Fleabag; this is really weird. This makes no sense.”

Phoebe Waller-Bridge did however win her first SAG Award for Outstanding Female Actor in a Comedy Series for Fleabag.

Calling the award and the response to the show “the most beautiful dream”, she said, “At some point it will all hit me and I'll just go into a corner and have a good old cry about it. But tonight we as a Fleabag gang will soak this up, celebrate and spend this evening with all the amazing actors in a room I never imagined I would be in.”
