The 2016 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) - The Winners

The winners of these prestigious awards were announced last night. Whether all the talk about #OscarsSoWhite influenced the voting (if there was still time) or not, we'll likely never know, but African American actors were clearly the big winners, sweeping 5 of the 10 acting awards, and with Idris Elba taking home 2 on the same night!!

Leonardo DiCaprio seems poised to finally take home an Oscar next month after winning this award (one of the surest indicators since the two voting bodies pretty much overlap).

Lastly, Queen Latifah was recognized by the largest voting block of her peers for her role in Bessie, besting even Nicole Kidman and Susan Sarandon, so I think my hunch about the HFPA favoring Lady Gaga because of her name rather than her performance at the Golden Globes was right.

Here are the winners:
