Birdman Wins SAG: Redmayne, Moore, Arquette, Simmons Take Acting Awards

Share

“Birdman” has won the SAG Best Ensemble Award. The acting awards went to Eddie Redmayne, Julianne Moore, Patricia Arquette, and JK Simmons. Redmayne was the surprise, beating Michael Keaton for Best Actor. “Birdman” has now won the Golden Globe for drama, and the Producers Guild Award. The Alejando Inniritu directed dramedy had the edge for the Oscars. But “Boyhood” is still looming large. The TV Awards went to Downton Abbey, and Orange is the New Black, meaning the broadcast networks were shut out again. Only Viola Davis from ABC’s “How to Get Away with Murder” was a network winner.
