With world news dominated by the situation in Europe, last night's SAG Awards were rightly a more muted affair, with many attendees taking the opportunity to voice their support for Ukraine.
In a red carpet interview with Laverne Cox who was hosting E! News' coverage, Lady Gaga - who was nominated for her role in The House of Gucci, said: 'There's so much going on in the world and my heart goes out to Ukraine.'
Andrew Garfield, who was nominated for his performance in musical tick, tick…BOOM!, echoed Gaga's sentiments speaking to Cox, saying: 'It's a tricky day to celebrate. Keeping what's happening in Ukraine in our hearts. It's weird.'
Opening the ceremony, Hamilton star Leslie Odom Jr. said, 'We're holding a place in our hearts for Ukraine and sending our thoughts, prayers and hopes for impending peace'.
As the awards unfolded, other stars took the opportunity to voice their support for Ukraine on stage. Accepting her award for Best Actress for her performance in The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Jessica Chastain said: 'My heart is with our international family all over the world right now, who is fighting for their safety and their freedom.'
Actor Michael Keaton, accepting the award for Best Male Actor in a Miniseries or TV movie for Dopesick, singled out President Zelensky, a former performer himself. 'We have a fellow actor in Zelensky, who deserves some credit tonight for fighting the fight,' Keaton said.
Actor Brian Cox - who along with the rest of the cast of Succession took home the award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble - called the invasion 'truly awful' and also referenced the toll on actors in Russia, saying:
'The thing that's really distressed me is what's happening in Russia to my fellow actors and actresses and performers, and critics. They are told under pain of high treason that they cannot say a word about Ukraine. And I think that is pretty awful. I think we should all stand together and also for those people in Russia who do not like what's going on, particularly the artists.'
He added: 'I think we should really join in celebrating them and hoping that they can actually make a shift. Because I believe they can.'
