SAG Awards 2020: 'Parasite' wins best cast, Renee Zellweger and Joaquin Phoenix take acting honors

All of the Oscar acting favorites held to form at Sunday night's Screen Actors Guild Awards, but a South Korean black comedy made a big move toward being a best-picture contender.

Bong Joon-ho's "Parasite" took the top prize – best ensemble in a motion picture – at the 26th annual SAG Awards, an important stop on the way to the Academy Awards since thespians make up the largest voting bloc in the Academy. The movie, which made history as the first foreign-language film ever to win the SAG category, upended other favorites such as "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" and "The Irishman", USA Today reports.

While the best-picture race is now a little more interesting going into next month's ceremony, the Oscar acting categories are starting to look like runaways for all the major contenders. "Joker" star Joaquin Phoenix took the SAG honor for best actor, Renée Zellweger won best actress for "Judy," "Once Upon a Hollywood" stalwart Brad Pitt conquered the supporting-actor category, and Laura Dern received supporting actress for "Marriage Story."
