Courtroom drama The Trial of the Chicago 7 took the top prize Sunday at a virtual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards. Written and directed by Aaron Sorkin, The Trial of the Chicago 7 which is streaming on Netflix, had been set for theatrical release by Paramount Pictures before the pandemic hit.
This is also the first time a film from any streaming service won the guild’s ensemble award. For the first time, actors of colour won all the key individual awards—Chadwick Boseman, best male actor for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom; Viola Davis, best female actor for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom; Yuh-Jung Youn, best female supporting actor for Minari; and Daniel Kaluuya, best male supporting actor for Judas and the Black Messiah.
