LOS ANGELES — Ukrainians are fighting for their freedom. Russian President Vladimir V. Putin put nuclear forces on alert. But, to quote the inimitable Martin Short near the start of tonight's Screen Actors Guild Awards, "Let's get on with doing God's work and give another actor an award."
The awards season is back! The exclamation point comes courtesy of the telecast's announcer, looking to gin up a little excitement for a ceremony that returned Sunday to being an in-person event a year after its winners Zoomed in with prerecorded acceptance speeches.
Did the evening earn its exclamation point? If you watched "Squid Game" on Netflix through splayed fingers, the answer is: Yes! The blockbuster South Korean survival drama won honors for actors Lee Jung-Jae and Jung Ho-yeon. "Squid Game" also won for stunt ensemble.
