Brad Pitt delivered one of the night’s most memorable thank you speeches while accepting the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role at the Screen Actors Guild Awards for his work in Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood. Noting he’s going to have to add this honor to his Tinder profile, Pitt went on to joke that it wasn’t hard to play “a guy who gets high, takes his shirt off, and doesn’t get on with his wife.”

Twitter quickly lit up with praise for Pitt’s speech as well as surprise at the fact the camera panned to Jennifer Aniston. Aniston went on to win the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series for Apple+’s The Morning Show shortly after Pitt’s appearance on stage.

Other highlights from the night included Robert De Niro’s powerful 2020 SAG Life Achievement Award acceptance speech and Alex Borstein dropping an f-bomb while admitting she was stunned The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel won when she was certain Fleabag deserved the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series award.

Accepting the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role award, Joaquin Phoenix (Joker) complimented each of his fellow category nominees. He recalled going up for auditions as a young actor opposite Leonardo DiCaprio and said Leo’s inspired him over the past 25 years. Phoenix said Christian Bale always commits to his roles in ways he could only dream of and never turns in a bad performance. He praised Adam Driver for turning in beautiful, profound performances and said he was devastating in Marriage Story. Phoenix described Taron Egerton as beautiful in Rocketman and said he can’t wait to see what Taron does in the future.

Phoenix finished his speech by saying he was standing there on the shoulders of his favorite actor, Heath Ledger.

Winners were announced during the host-less 2020 SAG Awards held on Sunday, January 19th.
