SAG Awards: 10 Things the TV Cameras Missed

The 2020 SAG Awards had plenty of great onscreen moments, like Joaquin Phoenix’s shout-out to Heath Ledger and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel cast’s pro-Fleabag speech, but there were numerous offscreen moments the cameras missed.

The Hollywood Reporter was there Sunday night to catch and report what happened that the TNT/TBS cameras airing the 26th annual awards show missed.

Brad Pitt watching Jennifer Aniston’s acceptance speech backstage: Shortly after Pitt won his best supporting actor award for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Aniston took the stage to accept her award for best actress in a drama series for her role in Apple TV+’s The Morning Show. During her speech, Pitt was photographed watching her on a TV backstage, and later, the two congratulated each other on their successes.

Parasite‘s cast got a standing ovation before they even won: Parasite was definitely a crowd favorite at the awards Sunday night. This became clear after the entire auditorium gave the cast a standing ovation when they went onstage to present their film, before they even received the night’s top prize of best cast.

I don’t think I’ve seen a standing ovation for a cast just to present their film to #SAGAwards audience. Very cool for @ParasiteMovie pic.twitter.com/YQzHQErMsV

The Parasite cast is fond of Peter Dinklage: Dinklage won for best actor in a drama series, the only award for Game of Thrones‘ final season. Not only were his fellow castmembers on the HBO show ecstatic, but the Parasite cast also got on their feet for the actor.

Table 9 & 10 #GoT jumped up for Peter Dinklage after his win (and standing o from Parasite crew!) DB Weiss just made it back from bathroom in time. I know cuz I was in line at same time as him w/ Taika Waititi, Jharrel Jerome, Joaquin Phoenix but no pics… cuz duh. #SAGAwards pic.twitter.com/r9zNEqjUyk

Pitt showed off his true football colors: Pitt is a known Kansas City Chiefs enthusiast, so when fellow Chiefs fans on the silver carpet threw the actor a Chiefs hat, he couldn’t help but wear it as he walked along the carpet.
