During awards season, everyone in Hollywood has the opportunity to voice their opinions on exceptional film and television productions. The actors had their chance to shine during the 2023 SAG Awards, taking a familiar place in the spotlight. The event was streamed live for the first time on Netflix’s YouTube channel.

The SAG Awards Predict the Oscars

The trophies, known as the Actor, were given to the performers who were most impressive in TV series and movies over the last year. The SAG Awards are known to be a predictor of success at the Oscars, particularly in the acting categories. Last year, the SAG award winners, including Lead Actor Will Smith, Lead Actress Jessica Chastain, Supporting Actor Troy Kotsur, and Supporting Actress Ariana Debose, also won at the Oscars, demonstrating the awards’ reliability as a bellwether of success.

The SAG Awards Were Streamed

The Everything, Everywhere All at Once film had an impressive night at the recent SAG Awards, winning a record-breaking four Actors out of five nominations, including the coveted Best Ensemble statue. Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Ke Huy Quan also won awards for their roles, with Ke Huy Quan becoming the first Asian actor to win the Supporting Actor category. The film had previously won top honors at the Producers Guild Awards and Directors Guilds Awards, indicating a bright future for the trippy multiverse family adventure. The dark comedy The Banshees of Inishirin, which also had five nominations, did not receive any awards. Additionally, Brendan Fraser won the Best Actor trophy for his performance in The Whale, and it is noteworthy that the four acting winners at the BAFTAs and the SAG Awards were entirely different, which could potentially disrupt the overall Oscar race.

The White Lotus, the resort-set comedy-drama on HBO, won several awards in the television categories, adding to its recent wins at the Golden Globes. The show won the Best Drama Series Ensemble trophy at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, and Jennifer Coolidge also won an Actor for her role. The remaining awards were distributed among other nominated shows, with Abbott Elementary winning the Best Comedy Ensemble category and Ozark, which had the most nominations of any series with four, taking home one Actor for Jason Bateman’s performance. Jean Smart from Hacks and Jeremy Allen White from The Bear also won awards.

The Screen Actors Guild Awards are decided by the 120,000 members of SAG-AFTRA. The ceremony also included a special tribute to Sally Field, who was honored with the SAG Life Achievement Award.

Film fanatics can look forward to a great new movie from Martin Scorsese, and it will be called Killers of the Flower Moon. It will be a Western crime drama and will star Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Brendan Fraser, Jesse Plemons, and Lily Gladstone. The film is set to release in May 2023.

Martin Scorsese’s New Movie

Those anticipating the new Scorsese drama will need to prepare themselves for a lengthy cinematic journey, as it is currently stated to be Martin Scorsese’s second-longest film. Scorsese appears to have great faith in his ability to deliver a compelling viewing experience to audiences. Perhaps he took note of the criticism from those who were unwilling to sit through The Irishman and decided to create another lengthy film.

For some individuals, the thought of dedicating more than three hours to view Martin Scorsese’s latest film is causing anxiety. Presently, Killers of the Flower Moon has a runtime of three hours and twenty minutes, which has resulted in the director engaging in discussions with the Cannes Film Festival about screening the movie this year. The film’s extended length is reportedly the reason for the deliberation.

Flower Moon Will Be 200 Minutes

At a runtime of 200 minutes, the Western drama is just nine minutes shorter than Martin Scorsese’s previous film, The Irishman, which clocked in at 209 minutes. This length exceeds other acclaimed Scorsese movies, such as The Wolf Of Wall Street, which has a runtime of 180 minutes, Casino, which runs for 178 minutes, and The Aviator, which lasts for 170 minutes.

The upcoming film is adapted from David Grann’s popular book of the same title. Happily, as with The Irishman, Killers of the Flower Moon is expected to be available on streaming platforms shortly after its initial release.

In this instance, the new Martin Scorsese film will be distributed by Apple TV+. As a result, viewers will have the freedom to pause the film and take breaks for refreshments or restroom visits at their convenience.
