Sunday s shortened one-hour show was pre-recorded. In her pre-taped acceptance speech, Youn, who is also the first Asian winner in any individual SAG motion picture category teared up as she delivered an emotional virtual acceptance speech. I don t know how to describe my feelings. I m being recognized by Westerners,” the 73-year-old Korean actress said. “I m just very, very honored, especially [that my] actor fellows chose me as a supporting actress.”
While Youn has been celebrated in South Korea for decades, Minari is her breakthrough role in the U.S. The movie follows a Korean immigrant family building a new life for themselves in Arkansas. Youn had already made history by becoming the first South Korean actress nominated in Oscar s Best Supporting Actress category.

The starry cast of Aaron Sorkin’s 1960s courtroom drama “The Trial of the Chicago 7” took the top prize Sunday at a virtual Screen Actors Guild Awards where actors of color, for the first time, swept the individual film awards.
The 27th SAG Awards, presented by the Hollywood actors’ guild SAG-Aftra, were a muted affair and not just because the red carpet-less ceremony was condensed to a pre-recorded, Zoom-heavy, one-hour broadcast on TBS and TNT. The perceived Academy Awards frontrunner Chloé Zhao’s “Nomadland” wasn’t nominated for best ensemble, making this year’s postponed SAG Awards less of an Oscar preview than it is most years.
