The SAG Awards concluded on Saturday, February 2024, marking a historic moment for Hollywood as it resumed operations after a long SAG-AFTRA strike that shook the entertainment industry last year. Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, which stars Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr., was one of the ceremony’s highlights, winning the award. Lily Gladstone created history once again at the award show and fellow actress Emma Stone expressed her happiness for her achievements.
One of the most closely contested categories at the 30th Star Guild Awards ceremony was Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role. Emma Stone’s outstanding performance in Poor Things provided strong competition for Lily Gladstone, who was widely recognized for her work in Killers of the Flower Moon. Annette Bening for Nyad, Carey Mulligan for Maestro and Margot Robbie for Barbie were the other contenders.
Following Lily’s acceptance speech, Emma’s reaction to Lily’s win was touching. In a video that has become popular on X, Emma can be seen standing from her seat and enthusiastically cheering as Gladstone’s win was announced.
