The 29th Screen Actors Guild Awards kicked off Sunday night in Los Angeles as the city recovered from historic weather with high winds and hail, raging rainstorms and rare blizzard warnings rocking Southern California over the weekend.

Despite the snowfall and chilly temperatures, attendees were just grateful to be able to appear at the show in person for the second year in a row, after the COVID-19 pandemic forced the SAG Awards to shorten its normal ceremony to a one-hour, virtual pretaped special in 2021.

Everything Everywhere All at Once dominated at the ceremony, taking home the award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. The cast gave audience members a master class in how to collaborate on an awards show acceptance speech, and kicked it off with Jamie Lee Curtis, who won Best Supporting Actress earlier in the night.

Both Ke Huy Quan and Michelle Yeoh made history on Sunday night, as Quan became the first Asian man to win Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture.

At the end of the night, Yeoh took home the top honor Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role in a Motion Picture and became the first Asian woman to ever do so.
