From Game of Thrones to Fleabag, the 26th edition of Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards honoured this year's winners in various categories. As per reports, South Korean class drama Parasite became the first foreign-language film to win the best ensemble award at SAG. The trophy, SAG-AFTRA's equivalent of a Best Picture title, for the Bong Joon-ho directed venture, is a favourable sign for the film, which has been nominated for six Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director.
Leading actors like Jennifer Aniston and America Ferrari honoured their colleagues for their achievements. Joaquin Phoenix's act in Joker earned him the Best Actor nod. "I am standing on the shoulders of my favourite actor — Heath Ledger," Phoenix said on Sunday, referring to the actor who won a posthumous Oscar in 2009 for his turn playing the comic book villain. Brad Pitt picked up another trophy for his supporting role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and during his acceptance speech, quipped: "It was a difficult part — a guy who gets high, takes his shirt off and doesn't get on with his wife. It was a big stretch."
