Refresh for updates and winners Shifting from its traditional immediate pre-Oscars perch, the Film Independent Spirit Awards are back today with a live and in-person ceremony from Santa Monica.

After sweeping the awards at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, capped by a fest-record $25 million sale to Apple, CODA has proven to be the little engine that could.

Ariana DeBose is breaking ground simply by being herself. With her star-making role as Anita in 2021’s Steven Spielberg-produced production of West Side Story, DeBose has become an awards-season darling, snagging nominations for honors ranging from to the BAFTAs to the Academy Awards.But on Sunday, it was her big win at the Screen Actors Guild awards that shifted the needle for herself and scores of young actresses coming behind her.

Salma Hayek took to Instagram to reveal that she had a wardrobe malfunction with Fran Drescher while making a trip to the bathroom during the 2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards Sunday night.Hayek, who was presenting the award for Male Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series, was just minutes away from hitting the stage when her glove got stuck on Drescher's dress. Lucky for us, their fashion flub was caught on camera.«I can't even believe, are you videotaping this?» Drescher asks in the video, as the actresses stand still, waiting for the help of an assistant to unhook Hayek's glove from the crystal embellishments surrounding the newly appointed President of SAG-AFTRA's strapless gown.«Oh my god, we're stuck,» Hayek laments. «You're coming out to present with me.»Luckily, the pair were able to get unhooked and the actress was able to present the SAG award to Michael Keaton, who ended up taking home the honor for his work in . star took the few moments before Hayek rushed to the stage to invite her green council, made up of high-profile performers within SAG-AFTRA who plan to band together to advocate for eco-friendly policies in order to reduce Hollywood’s carbon footprint.«You know, I think I wrote you a letter, we must have sent it to your reps, because I want to pull you in to my green council, and I said to you how magnificent you were in , and how fearless you were, and ironically, how much I love that we always, randomly run into each other,» Drescher said.«I know,» Hayek gushed.«Including Boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris,» Drescher said before letting out her icon Nanny squeal.

Will Smith just broke a personal ceiling, winning his first-ever Screen Actor’s Guild award on Sunday night.

He thanked his costar Aunjanue Ellis for pushing him towards authenticity, and his young costars Demi Singleton and Saniyya Sidney for allowing him the chance to give them guidance.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticThe Oscar campaign for “CODA” has touted the film as “history-making.” If you wanted to be a literal-minded curmudgeon about it, you could say that the history it’s talking about was already made — when Marlee Matlin, in 1986, became the first deaf performer to win an Academy Award for best actress, for her great, ardent, wounded performance in “Children of a Lesser God.” Matlin deserved to win (the other nominated actresses that year were Jane Fonda for “The Morning After,” Sissy Spacek for “Crimes of the Heart,” Kathleen Turner for “Peggy Sue Got Married,” and Sigourney Weaver for “Aliens,” which is the only one I’d put in Matlin’s league).Nevertheless, history works in waves. Sidney Poitier made history by becoming the first Black actor to be a Hollywood star, as well as the first to win an Academy Award for best actor (in 1963, for “Lilies of the Field”).

There was something about this year’s SAG Awards ceremony. It wasn’t as stressful as the 2021 Oscar Ceremony.
