The results of this year's Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards may have upended prognosticators' guesses for who will win big at this weekend's Oscars and this fall's Primetime Emmy Awards.

The ceremony, which was streamed live on Netflix Sunday night, started with host Kristen Bell singing a parody of her song "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" from 2013's "Frozen" as clips of stars in their very first roles were shown — often humorously followed by the star's real-time reaction.

Kieran Culkin won the night's first award for his supporting role in the dramedy "A Real Pain," making him the clear frontrunner for the Oscar. Culkin plays the troubled yet charismatic Benji Kaplan who is on a Jewish heritage tour through Poland with his cousin David, played by the film's writer and director Jesse Eisenberg.

Zoe Saldaña continues to sweep the awards circuit, winning another statuette for her supporting role in the musical crime drama "Emilia Pérez." The actress best known for her roles in blockbuster franchises like "Avatar" and "Guardians of the Galaxy" plays Rita Mora Castro, a lawyer who helps a Mexican cartel leader disappear and transition into a woman to start a new life.

Timothée Chalamet was a surprise winner in the lead actor category, as Adrien Brody has won nearly every major award thus far (including the BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Critics Choice Award) for his performance as a Holocaust survivor in "The Brutalist." Chalamet won for transforming himself into the legendary Bob Dylan in the biopic "A Complete Unknown." Later this year, the young star will appear in another biopic, this one based on the champion ping pong player Marty Reisman. The film titled "Marty Supreme" includes scenes shot at our facilities and is scheduled to hit theaters in December. Chalamet, who turned 29 two months ago, made history as the youngest winner ever of the lead actor award.

In the lead actress race, Demi Moore solidified herself as the frontrunner for the Oscar with another win for her performance in the sci-fi horror satire "The Substance." Moore plays a largely forgotten Hollywood star named Elisabeth Sparkle who has just turned 50 and is concerned about staying relevant in an industry that prizes youth and beauty. She hopes that a black-market drug will rejuvenate her career and her life.

The papal drama "Conclave" won the top film prize of the night for its talented ensemble cast that includes Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, and Isabella Rossellini. The film also won the big prize at the BAFTAs and is in the running for Best Picture at the Oscars. It will have to compete with "Anora," which won the Palme D'Or and the top prizes at the Critics Choice, Producers Guild of America, and Directors Guild of America Awards. "The Brutalist" is also a prime contender for the Oscar, as the historical epic won the top drama prize at the Golden Globes and many critics association awards.

The television races were also full of surprises, as the cast of FX/Hulu's "Only Murders in the Building" won in the comedy ensemble category, beating frequent winners "Hacks" and "The Bear." Additionally, Martin Short won for his co-leading performance on the popular whodunnit about three podcasters (Short, Steve Martin, and Selena Gomez) who solve crimes that occur in their opulent Manhattan apartment building.

Jean Smart won yet another award for her leading role on HBO/Max's comedy "Hacks." Smart plays the legendary stand-up comedian Deborah Vance, who is trying to reinvent herself to appeal to a new generation of fans.

FX/Hulu's "Shōgun" swept the drama categories, winning awards for its ensemble cast, lead actor Hiroyuki Sanada, and lead actress Anna Sawai. The historical drama also won an award for its stunt ensemble.

In the limited series and TV movie categories, Jessica Gunning won another statuette for her role as the crazed stalker Martha Scott in Netflix's hit limited series "Baby Reindeer." Colin Farrell added another award to his collection, winning for his performance as the title character of HBO/Max's "The Penguin."

In a humorous nod to an iconic show that films at our facilities, presenters Keke Palmer and Colman Domingo introduced a video compilation of big stars who got their start in the "Law & Order" universe. Broadway Stages provides facilities for the original series, which returned from a 12-year hiatus in 2022, as well as the spin-off "Law & Order: Organized Crime." Last year, the police procedural hit a major milestone with its 500th episode.

Congratulations to all the winners! Check our blog next week for highlights from this weekend's Oscars.
