    Another SAG Awards ceremony is behind us, and it did a great job celebrating the beloved TV shows that we’ve been watching this past year. The White Lotus and Abbott Elementary dominated this year’s ceremony, winning awards for the best ensemble in their respective fields.

    The White Lotus defeated Better Call Saul, The Crown, Ozark, and Severance to win the award the outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series. It was also a big night for the show’s star Jennifer Coolidge, who picked up the trophy for outstanding performance by a female actor in a drama series.

    Abbott Elementary was the biggest winner on the comedy side of the aisle, and it defeated the acclaimed shows Barry, The Bear, Hacks, and Only Murders in the Building to win outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series. Individual acting comedy awards were collected by The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White and Hack’s Jean Smart.

    Things were pretty predictable in the drama and comedy field, but the limited series categories brought some shockers our way. Jessica Chastain won best actress for George & Tammy, defeating The Dropout’s Amanda Seyfried, while 1883’s Sam Elliott pulled an upset over Dahmer’s Evan Peters to be named best actor in a television movie or limited series.

    The 29th Screen Actors Guild Awards took place on February 26 and the ceremony marked the beginning of SAG’s partnership with Netflix, with the show being streamed live on their YouTube channel.
