In view of the Oscars 2021, it is an excellent premise for actresses and actors to win Awards from the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), i.e. the US union representing those who act for film and television Americans. The virtual ceremony held on April 4th evening crowned Chadwick Boseman and Viola Davis , starring in ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’, and turned ‘The Chicago 7 Trial’ into the first film on a streaming platform to win the award dedicated to the entire cast. In the categories dedicated to non-protagonists, Daniel Kaluuya triumphed for ‘Judas And The Black Messiah ‘and Youn Yuh-Jung for’ Minari ‘.
In the United States it did not go unnoticed that individual awards went to three African Americans and one Asian , confirming Hollywood’s intention to pursue greater inclusiveness. Now all that remains is to wait for the Oscar ceremony , which as we said a little while ago could repeat the verdict of the SAG: actors and actresses represent the bulk of the voters of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences and last year all the winners of the individual awards then grabbed the Oscar (Renée Zellweger, Brad Pitt, Laura Dern and Joaquin Phoenix).
