SAG Awards 2024: The Bear Wins Outstanding Performance By An Ensemble In A Comedy Series
The Bear, a dark comedy series, follows the life of Carmy Berzatto, a renowned chef who returns to Chicago to run a local beef shop. The show has won the 2024 SAG Awards for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble.
The Bear won big at the 30th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards by taking home the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series award. This year's SAG Awards marked its live debut on Netflix. In January 2023, Netflix struck an 11th-hour deal to televise the show, after its previous deal with TBS/TNT expired in May 2022, but the previous year's ceremony was broadcast on Netflix's YouTube channel because Netflix was still experimenting with live broadcasts at that time.
Screen Actors Guild Awards also known as SAG Awards are accolades given by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA). The award was founded in 1995 to recognize outstanding performances in movie and prime-time television. SAG Awards have been one of the major awards events in the Hollywood film industry since then, along with the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars. SAG awards focus both on individual performances and on the work of the entire ensemble of a drama series and comedy series, and the cast of a motion picture.
