"I just wanna quickly say that I'm so honored and privileged to be nominated in categories with people and actors and humans that I love. I love their work and I love what you contribute to our craft. This ride has been unbelievable."
"Those guys that were onstage with the awards and the nice suits, being in fancy places, that's what I always wanted, and that kid from North Jersey is standing here right now. Mom, thank you for driving me back and forth when we didn't have enough money to go through the Holland Tunnel, when we were looking for gas money, parking spaces, for my auditions."
Michael B. Jordan won the SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role, defeating expected winner Timothée Chalamet. Viola Davis presented the award with visible enthusiasm. In his acceptance speech, Jordan expressed honor at being nominated alongside actors he admires and shared a childhood story about aspiring to earn his SAG card. He credited his mother for supporting his early acting career despite financial hardship, driving him to auditions when money was tight. Jordan concluded his speech by holding up the statue and remarking on its coolness. His film Sinners subsequently won Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, making it a successful night for the project.
