The Screen Actors Guild in Los Angeles honored the diversity within the acting industry at its annual awards show on Saturday and in doing so, made a mockery of the race row that’s been overshadowing this year’s Academy Awards.
There was a double win for Idris Elba who won Best Supporting Actor for Beasts Of No Nation, about child soldiers in Africa, and Best Actor in a TV Miniseries for Luther.
The diverse cast of the Netflix series Orange Is The New Black also won big, with the award for Best Ensemble in a Comedy Series and a Best Actress trophy for star Uzo Aduba. while Viola Davis won for her performance in the TV series How To Get Away With Murder and Queen Latifah took top honors for her performance in HBO’s Bessie. Leonardo DiCaprio was the winner of Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Lead Role in a Motion Picture for The Revenant.
