The 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards saw the best and biggest names in film and television descend upon the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles on Saturday. 

The gathering may not have been able to be a reality months ago after a taxing 118-day strike, with came to an end on November 8.

Lily Gladstone upset A-listers Emma Stone and Margot Robbie while Oppenheimer triumphed in most of the major film categories at the 30th annual SAG Awards.

Cillian Murphy earned the Male Actor in a Leading Role gong while Robert Downey Jr. took home Male Actor in a Supporting Role.

Yet it wasn’t just the winners that made the headlines as there were plenty of emotional, hilarious, and incredible moments on stage as the stars celebrated the best films and television programmes of 2023.

Now MailOnline takes a look back at the top viral moments of the SAG Awards 2024.

Pedro Pascal reveals he’s drunk on stage

Pedro Pascal was shocked – and a bit tipsy – when he won big at the 30th annual SAG Awards.

The star, 48, took home Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series for his role in The Last Of Us. 

No doubt it was a total upset as he beat out three Succession actors including Kieran Culkin , Brian Cox, and Matthew Macfadyen who have all swept Award Season. Billy Crudup was also nominated for The Morning Show.

The Mandalorian star – who had been quaffing tequila – was just as surprised by the result as he said: ‘This is wrong, for a number of reasons. I’m a little drunk. I thought I could get drunk.’

‘I’m making a fool of myself but thank you so much for this! I’ve been in the union since 1999 so this is an incredible f*****g honor’, he continued. ‘To the nominees, all of you, I can’t remember any of your names right now.’

Pascal fought back tears thanking his family but swiftly ended his tipsy acceptance speech by joking: ‘I’m going to have a panic attack and I’m going to leave.’

After the win, Pedro told Tan France : ‘I don’t remember what I said. I just was very surprised. … Let’s YouTube it later.’

He also said he was going to make out with Keiran Culkan as his revenge against the actor following their hilarious fake feud at the Emmys, where Kiera said ‘Suck it, Pedro’ while accepting his gong.

‘He is the greatest,’ Pascal added.

Billie Eilish signs Melissa McCarthy’s face

Billie Eilish and Melissa McCarthy had a celebrity encounter that went hilariously wrong at the 2024 SAG Awards ceremony on Saturday.

After Melissa gushed about how big of a fan she was of Billie’s, the 22-year-old singer–songwriter scrawled her autograph all over the 53-year-old actress’ forehead.

The moment had viewers at home who caught the ceremony on Netflix laughing about the shocking moment, which inspired social media users to joke about Melissa’s performance as a Billie Eilish superfan.

She even revealed that she had worked with Billie’s mother – actress, teacher and musician Maggie Baird – as her improv coach when she was pregnant with the future hitmaker.

Melissa was clearly overjoyed to be sharing the stage with Billie and begged the singer to sign her dress.

‘No, I don’t want to ruin it,’ Billie replied, but the actress took it as a compliment.

‘Thank you for liking my choices,’ Melissa said. Instead, she asked Billie to sign her face, which got an enthusiastic response from her.

‘Oh, OK. I thought you were going to be like, “I don’t want to ruin your pretty face,”‘ Melissa joked.

‘I don’t care,’ Billie mumbled as she leaned in to scrawl her autograph over Melissa forehead, while hilariously putting a hand over her mouth to stop her from talking.

Some people hilariously compared the display to when Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) got a mustache and goatee drawn on her face on Friends.

‘Billie Eilish signing Melissa McCarthy’s face is the funniest thing I’ve seen in 5 decades of awards show fandom,’ gushed one user.

Devil Wears Prada reunion

The Devil Wears Prada cast members Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt thrilled fans as they reunited onstage.

The trio were tasked with presenting the best actor in a comedy series with Streep, 74, appearing on stage first by herself, telling the crowd she had forgotten her glasses and the envelope with this year’s winner.

Hathaway, 41, and Blunt, 41, then appeared and handed Streep her missing items, recreating their iconic roles as assistants to Miranda Priestly (Streep) in The Devil Wears Prada, which aired in 2006.

Streep then began presenting the award, as she asked: ‘It’s an age-old question, where does the character end, and the actor begin?’

‘Meryl and Miranda Priestly are sort of like twins,’ Blunt quipped, which Streep quickly began denying.

‘I don’t think I’m anything like Miranda Priestly!’

‘No no. That wasn’t a question,’ Hathaway hilariously interrupted her, with a nod to one of Miranda’s most cutting lines from the film.

While Streep was trying to open the envelope Blunt quoted her character one more time, telling her: ‘By all means move at a glacial pace, you know how that thrills me.

‘It’s been almost 18-years since The Devil Wears Prada — based on the 2003 New York Times bestseller by Lauren Weisberger written about her experience as an assistant to longtime Vogue editor Anna Wintour — aired.

Idris Elba swears in front of Oprah Winfrey

Idris Elba was the first presenter of the night on stage at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

During his speech, the actor, 51, said the F-word and told the nominees that they’re allowed to swear while accepting awards thanks to the show streaming on Netflix instead of airing on television.

However, Idris told people to control themselves and joked to not say anything that they wouldn’t say in front of Oprah .

The camera then panned down to the chat show legend, before Idris cried: ‘F***! That was Oprah.’

It came just moments after Hannah Waddingham had to usher Idris out of her seat in a hilarious opening segment.

Tan France ‘awkwardly’ flirts with Pedro Pascal

Tan France has been roasted for his ‘awkward’ backstage flirting with Pedro Pascal.

The Last of Us actor, 48, joined France, 40, who was conducting interviews with the winners, after he picked up the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series award, for his role in the HBO zombie show.

After the Chilean hunk complimented the Queer Eye star’s silver hair, France responded by saying, We are not here to flirt with me, Pedro Pascal.’

‘Yes we are. What else could we be here for?’ Pascal — who shortly before shared that he was drunk while onstage — replied.

France then asked, ‘How badly are you going to rag Kieran at the afterparty tonight?’ in reference to Pascal and Succession star Kieran Culkin ‘s ongoing rivalry at award shows, but Pascal simply replied that he would ‘make out’ with Culkin instead.

‘That’ll be my revenge,’ the Mandalorian star added.

‘It’s cause you’re drunk,’ France stated, summing up the situation. ‘I would love to see this, that would make me so happy,’ he went on.

Fans quickly took to the comments to discuss the ‘awkward’ interview, with one writing, ‘Can someone tell Tan France these are the #SAGAwards and not Grindr. Bring back the commercials.’

‘These Tan France interviews are actually inflicting massive amount of psychic damage. Please stop @Netflix,’ another user asked.

‘I’m enjoying the #SAG Awards on Netflix – but the weird Tan France interviews are so awkward & uncomfortable. This is not his jam.’

Modern Family cast reunion

The star-studded 30th Annual SAG Awards proved to be a night full of reunions.

Among them was the cast of Modern Family, who got together four years after their show ended to present the prize for best comedy ensemble to the stars of The Bear.

Sofia Vergara, 51, sizzled in a red hot gown as she joined former co-stars Ed O’Neill, 77, Ty Burrell , 56, Julie Bowen , 53, Eric Stonestreet, 52, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, 48, onstage.

At one point Vergara plugged her new Netflix series Griselda, but got scolded as Stonestreet quipped, ‘Jesse, pay up. I told you she’d mention it in the first 10 seconds.’

Meanwhile her co-star Julie had a hilarious moment of her own as she got distracted by Barbie star Ryan Gosling in the audience.

It all started while they were presenting the award, which their ABC show won four previous times, and Burrell reflected on their series, saying, ‘This really brings back memories.’

‘You guys ever miss it?’ Burrell asked his former costars.

His on-screen daughter Bowen replied: ‘Oh, hell yeah, but of course we had a great time, 11 seasons, 250 episodes. Come on.’

She then got distracted by Gosling, as she giggled and pointed at him in the crowd: ‘It’s Ryan Gosling . I’m sorry,’ before catching her train of thought, ‘250 episodes, it never happens.’

‘It’s happened twice to me,’ replied O’Neill, who starred as Al Bundy on the 1987-97 Fox comedy Married…With Children.
