SAG Awards includes surprise winners, could reshuffle upcoming Oscars

Jessica Chastain, Will Smith and Netflix series 'Squid Game' were among the big SAG award winners

The Screen Actors Guild awards ceremony took place last night and just as this year's nominees took many by surprise, so too did the winners.

'Coda' ended up being a major contender, taking home the prestigious best ensemble SAG award as well as best supporting actor for Troy Kotsur.

It's now a frontrunner in the increasingly unpredictable Oscars race.

Another surprise was the Best Actress in a Motion Picture winner.

Jessica Chastain got the SAG award for her lead performance in 'The Eyes of Tammy Faye' (previously, Nicole Kidman in 'Being the Ricardos' and Rachel Zegler in 'West Side Story' had won the Best Actress Golden Globes, in the drama and musical or comedy categories, respectively).

Ariana DeBose in 'West Side Story' and Will Smith for 'King Richard' got Best Supporting Actress and Best Lead Actor apiece.

Another big winner of the evening was 'Squid Game', which took home Best Actor and Best Actress in a Drama Series for Lee Jung-jae and Jung Ho-yeon, as well as Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Series.
