In addition to the film’s success, individual acting honors were bestowed upon two of its stars. Cillian Murphy’s portrayal in “Oppenheimer” earned him the accolade for Best Actor, while Robert Downey Jr. was recognized with the award for Best Supporting Actor for his standout performance in the same film.

The SAG Awards also shone a spotlight on other standout performances from the past year. Da’Vine Joy Randolph, known for her role in “The Holdovers,” was honored with an acting prize for her remarkable contribution to the project. Similarly, Lily Gladstone’s captivating performance in “Killers of the Flower Moon” earned her recognition and acclaim from her peers.
