It was another big night for Oppenheimer at the Screen Actors' Guild awards, as the film took home three awards, including the coveted prize for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. Receiving this on behalf of his colleagues, Kenneth Branagh expressed his gratitude not just to SAG but also to each individual SAG-AFTRA member whose participation in the recent strikes has improved conditions for actors throughout the US industry.

Describing himself as a failed musician who had always felt like an interloper in acting circles, Cillian Murphy, named Best Actor in a Leading Role, echoed the sentiments of many past winners in saying that this award is particularly special to him.

Held at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles, California, the ceremony was streamed globally on Netflix for the first time.

Those film award winners in full:

Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role

Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role

Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture
