‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ dominates SAG Awards with wins for cast, Michelle Yeoh and more

“Everything Everywhere All at Once” continued its out-of-this-world awards season at Sunday’s Screen Actors Guild Awards, winning four honors including the top prize of outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture.

Michelle Yeoh won best movie actress for her performance in the multiverse-jumping drama-comedy, while Ke Huy Quan became the first Asian performer to win best supporting actor.

“This is not just for me. This is for every little girl that looks like me,” Yeoh, 60, said in an emotional acceptance speech at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Century City, Calif.

“Thank you for giving me a seat at the table, because so many of us need this. We want to be seen. We want to be heard, and tonight you have showed us it is possible.”

Quan, who debuted as a child actor in 1984′s “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” went nearly two decades between roles during the 2000s. He’s also won Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice honors this year.

“This moment no longer belongs to just me. It also belongs to everyone who had asked for change,” said Quan, 51. “When I stepped away from acting, it was because there were so few opportunities. Now, tonight, here we are.”

Jamie Lee Curtis won best supporting actress. “Everything Everywhere” entered Sunday’s show with five nominations, tying it with “The Banshees of Inisherin” — Martin McDonagh’s dark dive into a damaged friendship — for the most of any film.

The wins added momentum ahead of March 12’s Oscars, where “Everything Everywhere” leads all films with 11 nominations. The SAG Awards regularly serve as a predictor for the Academy Awards, including last year, when “CODA” won the top honor at both ceremonies. Each of the four acting winners were the same, too.

“Everything Everywhere” is up for best picture at the 2023 Oscars, and Yeoh, Quan, Curtis and Stephanie Hsu are all nominated.

Other winners Sunday included Brendan Fraser, who was named best movie actor for his portrayal of a severely obese man in “The Whale.”

The sitcom “Abbott Elementary” received outstanding ensemble in a comedy series. In January, the ABC show created by and starring Quinta Brunson led all series with three Golden Globes trophies. HBO’s resort-set anthology “The White Lotus” won the SAG honor for ensemble in a drama series, while star Jennifer Coolidge won best actress in the genre.

Brooklyn-born Jeremy Allen White won best actor in a comedy series for his performance as chef Carmy Berzattoon on “The Bear,” while Juilliard alum Jessica Chastain took home best actress in a TV movie or limited series for “George & Tammy,” in which she portrays late country music star Tammy Wynette.

“Ozark” star Jason Bateman won best actor in a drama series, “Hacks” star Jean Smart was named best actress in a comedy series and “1883″ star Sam Elliott took home best actor in a TV movie or limited series.

“What can I say in 45 seconds after just receiving the most meaningful acknowledgment of my 55-year career?” Elliott said during his acceptance speech. “From a group of my peers, many of whom I don’t even know.”

SAG also honored Sally Field with its lifetime achievement award, recognizing a career that’s included roles in “Norma Rae,” “Places in the Heart” and “Forrest Gump.”

Sunday’s ceremony aired on Netflix’s YouTube channel after the show left its longtime home on TNT and TBS. The SAG Awards will move to the main Netflix streaming service next year.
