Wow...this is awkward

Maybe, just maybe, stay with me here, maybe it's you?

have a different award if you want inclusion in every category. SAG is peers on peers so blame all the actors. who are all for inclusive dems by the way

Because it's merit, not a civil rights award.

Or the fact that these people all turned in stellar performances and deserved the honour bestowed upon them.

Not everything should be about race. Art is judged by greatness not race.

Exclusion is wrong based on race for sure. Forcing inclusion based on race in this case is also wrong. Merit should be the only consideration. If someone is excluded that's deserving, based on race, it's wrong. Otherwise, stfu.

I say after just hearing the acting on this page, we can be safe to say that all the winners won and their is more winners to come. Definitely worthy of the prize of being born winners. Then life moves forward too better standards on all levels and all of the above.

And he didn't add afirmitive action is not the point here. It's a matter of not going backwards cause you feel white is better than the rise. That's not it, the truth stands for itself if you only research properly. You will keep the History filmstrip correctly for new generation

All the comments someone white would say....so predictable.

So maybe the minorities should try harder.

Is it possible they just were the best actors this year?.

The only ones who track that crap are liberal rags like you. Awards are based on merit, not your yearning for affirmative action.

People voted for who they voted for. It’s a SAG award. They’re nominated by each OTHER. Can’t be mad at a room of old white men for this one...be mad at the 2100 people (fellow actors/members, I might add) who nominated and then voted for them.

Best and brightest? Or, are we NOW supposed expect ParticipationTrophies for being the right skintone/color, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religion? The rules should probably specify those expectations. 😕

Why doesn't affirmative action apply to Hollywood?

Yes, everything is racist. (Sarcasm)

So what? Maybe they were the best performances!! Stop making everything about race!!

They don't have the Rooney Rule in Hollywood!!! HA

Soooooooo many racists commenting “it’s about talent not race!!!” 👀

All of them deserved to win. STOP BRINGING RACE INTO EVERYTHING. Stop dividing people.

Yep

Give me a break...these awards mean nothing in the big sense, just inflating already huge egos. I’m gonna watch what and who I like regardless of amt of awards, race, sex, age, sexual orientation, or anything else.

So its not about the best, it's about equal numbers regardless of talent. So what's the point of SAG then? 🤣🤣🤣 NOTHING. Just like the Oscars and the GGs.

It’s been going on for decades...there was a time only one ☝🏽 African American nominee and that was usually Denzel Washington! It’s not always about race, it’s about great performances which is harder nowadays because the talent pool is strong!!!

Maybe there should be a category for ‘Best Black Actor’ , ‘Best Gay Actor’, ‘Best Trans Actor’, and all the other sub catagories. Would that make you happy? Or maybe just nullify any white actor from being nominated because of their white privilege? MLK would be sickened by this

And why exactly does the skin color of the artist make any difference

So they should hand out awards to people of color just because they are people of color? Got it.

Maybe the media should start promoting more black/diverse talent so they look more viable to voters and gatekeepers. Just a thought.

Wow. They should just give all awards to the cast of how stella got her groove back.

Racist tweet

Diversity is not about race, it’s about the differences between and unique qualities of each human being.

they really should jus do a black oscars and black sag awards...

Of course they're mostly white. They make up most of the population. Preschool math.

Maybe white people make better movies than other races 🤔 Why aren't there more whites in the NBA? Oscars SAGAwards

Whatever 🙄 you people are so judgmental. Maybe it will be all brown actors next year.

pamgugyu Interesting article when the MAIN award went to so many Koreans.

You had me at Joaquin Phoenix

The very thought of what color the nominees are, is racist. Certainly, taking into consideration someone’s race before nominating them is very racist.

Who should have been nominated then?

Can’t hide behind the “Academy” this time. Actors voting for Actors at this one. Hypocrites.

only people that care about skin color are racists why so racist?

Enough with this idiotic argument.

Media is making up the so called backlash. Nobody watch Oscars for diversity sake.

Wait. You mean to tell me an awards show that ACTORS vote on themselves judge themselves by performance and not skin color?!? well I'm just flabbergasted.

Hey, 'Hollywood Reporter', merit and accomplishment has nothing to do with race.

The world has gone mad.

Racism is bad.... unless it’s against white people.. -Insane leftists

Only racists care about what race people are.

Yeah, you superior whites saviors in Hollywood should help them 'poor helpless less fortunate' blacks, right? Not too much though, still need Captain Marvel to be white. WhitePrivilege racehustlers

So there for segregation you are advocating? Seriously sick if that is the case.

I'm so sorry this happened to you.

Who exactly is complaining about diversity though? If you make good entertainment like Jordan peele or m night then you’ll win awards. It doesn’t matter what race or gender you are ffs

This is like complaining that there are too man black NBA players. Get over it.

🤷🏻‍♀️

So?

Make your own movie

Being white is great though 👌.

The racism of low expectation. People should earn stuff, not have it thrown at them for the colour of their skin, it's patronising and bigoted.

Race baiting is very bad, but I'm all for Hollywood eating it self.... So yeah get the whites!! Diversity now!

Hollywood leftists, hollywood liberals, hollywood 'woke' people. Guarantee they blame Trump and Republicans because of a lack of diversity in their little liberal club. Hollywood is a liberal wonderland and they can't get it right.

If non-whites want to win an award, then they have to put up a better performance then those white people. Shouldn't give awards away based on race

The anti-semitic backlash against Hollywood studio owners is a disgrace. SAGAwards

Judging someone on color of skin is racist Deserving people won what color has to do

Comparatively diversity of ideas has the same situation with snowflakes feigning diversity to justify inclusion.

Stop it!

So are you saying award shows shouldn't honor the best performances of the year but honor different ethnicities regardless if they've given the best performances of the year? I'd rather see the best performances nominated regardless of what skin color they have.

PedoWood

Can't you just say actors and actresses why does it always have to be a race thing. Through The Eyes of a racist races are all you'll ever see. Why can't cancel culture groups cancel group like yours.

Stop it. 🤦‍♀️

Morons

SAGAwards so white

Do you see actors or colours? Do you see actors or males and females? SAGAwards

Name one movie starring a person who...well who isn't white...that was better than the ones that won.

Just another click bait article to get everybody riled up again. Pretty typical from this publication lately. Yawn.

If it's based on talent, then how should it be judged? You either are the best or you're not. Judging creativity is so subjective, maybe there should be no more award shows?

And the token goes to...

'Well honestly they should have included more PoC nominees even if their roles or movies were of a lower objective quality it's only fair'

Or.... Maybe there just wasn't anyone with talent that was dark skinned? Wake the hell up.

From now on nowhitepeople in any movies TrannyBlacks and GayAsians CrossDressers I’ll have a lot of free time , maybe I will read a book

Dear Hollywood Reporter. Nobody cares about SAG's mutual admiration society awards show except the Hollyweirdos themselves.

Seriously? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Give it a fecking rest.

I am so sick of whitey

It’s so fun to see the out rage culture turn on it’s self.

Diversity is all fine and well but perhaps these were just the best performances The voters are all SAG/AFTRA members and I can assure you they’re a pretty diverse lot…stop with the “if it bleeds it leads” mentality, look where it got us!! stopbeingputzes!!

Well then guess what? Maybe some people need to step their game up and stop pandering..

So?

Why has everything become about skin color again? This isn’t the 60’s anymore.

Backlash? Really? Because literally nobody I know cares. At all. About any of this.

We have actual actors now day's ? Haven't seen many of any color worth a shit in some time now

So the people constantly demonizing white people and preaching to us about 'diversity' have nearly all-white nominees.....Ya dont say.....😂

Race only matters to the Left.

Because they acted better. And SAG Awards is basically a popularity contest based on Oscar's nominations anyway.

Just come out and say it: you hate white people, and you hate seeing them succeed.

The left turning on themselves.

Yeah, screw you, Laura Dern! No justice, no SAG!

It’s called TALENT

The care factor on this is very low... Correction the needle is stuck on zero.

Oy Vey! I hope the Bollywood Awards aren't majority Indian or Jewish American MSM sources like THR will go full Greenblatt!

Just cut the shit already. Enough is enough.

Race doesn't matter, it just so happens that a lot of the best actors this year were white🤷‍♂️
