Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) and Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon) won Outstanding Performance by a Male and Female Actor in a Leading Role at the 2024 SAG Awards.
Both won in what were regarded as close contests against Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers) and Emma Stone (Poor Things).
Robert Downey Jr. (Oppenheimer) and Da'vine Joy Randolph (The Holdovers) received the corresponding honors in the supporting categories
as they did at the great majority of recent award ceremonies.
All four of these actors are now considered front-runners for the Oscars in their respective categories on March 10.
Last year, all four SAG Award winners in the film acting categories went on to win Academy Awards.
The 30th annual SAG Awards aired live on Netflix on Saturday (February 24) at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT from the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles.
Oppenheimer was the top film winner, taking home three Oscars. Barbie had the night's largest shutout on the film side, going 0-4 on the night.
Oppenheimer received outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture, which is a promising, but far from convincing, sign that it will win the Oscar for best picture on March 10.
The SAG winner for ensemble cast has gone on to win best picture five times in the last ten years.
